The courses
The Alto Club, formerly Almenara, is the course in the grounds of SO/ Sotogrande. Dave Thomas designed it and Manuel Piñero later remodelled it. The 18 holes are par 71 and about 5,900 metres from the back tees, laid out through pine woods with several lakes and some testing changes in elevation. It sits next to Los Alcornocales Natural Park, so the setting is quiet and green.
The practice facilities are among the best in the area. The Alto Club Academy is led by former Solheim Cup captain Suzann Pettersen, the driving range has natural and covered bays with TopTracer, and there is a 9-hole par-3 course for short-game work.
In our packages tee times at The Alto Club start from 11:00, and you get two hours a day on the driving range. As it is next to the hotel, there is no driving on Alto days.
