Think about the next shot
The federation highlights cork oaks, pines, eucalyptus and lakes as important features. Our take: pick a landing area that keeps a clear route to the green, even when that means leaving a longer approach. Source Spanish Golf Federation — Real Club de Golf Sotogrande↗
Allow for the wind
San Roque’s tourism guide identifies the local wind as a challenge here. Our take: check conditions before choosing a club and keep a lower-flight option available when the breeze rises. Source San Roque Tourism — golf↗
