Course Description
Designed by José María Olazábal, the course is a 6,529-metre par-72. It has a well-balanced layout able to accommodate any level of competition, both amateur and professional. It is an expansive course featuring wide fairways and undulating greens well-protected by 90 bunkers and nine lakes covering three hectares. It is planted with more than 10,000 trees to create a challenging course that is also hugely enjoyable to play.
Royal Sevilla is renowned for being extremely well maintained. During autumn, the Ray grass is replanted, thus guaranteeing a flawless presentation of the course throughout the year. It is currently ranked the fifth top course in Spain.
Inaugurated in 1992, Royal Sevilla Golf Club has been the venue for several major international competitions, highlighted by the 2004 World Cup and the Spanish Open in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
