Montenmedio Golf

The 18 holes of Dehesa Montenmedio Golf & Country Club are played on wide, carefully tailored fairways, bordered by Mediterranean vegetation and woodland, forest, requiring precision and accuracy to keep the ball in play. Montenmedio is a thriving reserve of wildlife: deer, foxes and eagles are at home and noisy intrusions are virtually non-existent.

Considered by professionals and experts as one of Europe’s finest golf courses, where the respect of nature is combined with the beauty of the countryside, the spectacular views on the white villages, the mountains of Cadiz, the Straits of Gibraltar and Africa.

Additional to sweepingly generous fairways flanked by a variety of flourishing, indigenous trees – the long, 550m 12th is a model par-5 hole, this very gently undulating terrain presents memorable golf-course scenery. Four par-5 holes are long and complicated by doglegs; most holes are par-4 and a few piquant par-3s complete what is overall a very interesting course.

Robert Hardwell, newly appointed Golf Director, has also improved the golf practice range and putting facilities. Because golf training and improvement programmes are available for every level of player, the excellence of practice facilities is integral to Montenmedio's offering.

Several restaurants with differing degrees of formality cater to diverse tastes. Casual and comfortable, the outside terrace and club bar/cafeteria serves simple, well-prepared dishes, while the club restaurant exemplifies quiet elegance and understated haute cuisine.
