Discover The Alto Club, an enthralling golf experience
The Alto Club lies at the peak of the Sotogrande hillside, alongside Los Alcornocales natural park. It forms part of an environment where golf, wellbeing, and hospitality coexist in perfect harmony. Its location beside the award-winning SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort offers players immediate access to one of the region’s most refined retreats.
Originally designed by Dave Thomas and later refined by local golfing legend, Manuel Piñero, the 18-hole course offers a layout that rewards precision and creativity. Pine trees, elevation changes, and water features are part of the natural landscape, influencing the game without overwhelming it.
The Alto Club is home to a brand-new state-of-the-art golf academy led by former Solheim Cup Captain, Suzann Pettersen.
18 holes of high-end golf
The Alto Club shares its setting with SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort, a five-star hotel where comfort, service, and proximity align. Golfers can enjoy a seamless stay-and-play experience, with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean coastline and the lush, green countryside.
The Alto Club is an 18-hole layout set into the natural contours of the land. Originally designed by Dave Thomas and remodelled by former Ryder Cup star, Manuel Piñero, each nine is a distinct experience – from pine tree-lined fairways to water features that come into play on multiple holes.
Located just steps away from Sotogrande’s new Golf Academy – led by global ambassador Suzann Pettersen – The Alto Club complements a world-class environment for both play and performance. Pettersen’s involvement brings an elite level of insight and inspiration to the golf offering at Sotogrande, reinforcing its appeal to golfers of all levels.
