Valle Romano, venue in May of the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9

Valle Romano Golf & Resort will host the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9, a tournament of the European Challenge Tour to be held from May 17 to 20 at the course located in the heart of the Costa del Sol. It is a competition with a new format where players will compete during two rounds in Stroke Play. After these first rounds, the best 64 will move on to a 9-hole Match Play elimination phase.

This is the only tournament of the year in the Challenge Tour calendar that will be played in a match-play format and the second of the events of this circuit to be played in Spain, since two weeks before the Challenge of Spain will take place at the Izki Golf course in Vitoria.

The English player Aaron Rai won the inaugural edition of the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9 held in 2017 at the Costa del Sol’s La Cala Resort by beating Irishman Gavin Moynihan. The launch of the tournament in such an original format was a success and received many positive evaluations.

Valle Romano Golf & Resort, located in the municipality of Estepona, is a Cabell B Robinson design inaugurated in 2010 and built under the highest quality standards of the USGA. There are 18 holes par 71 prepared to host international level competitions.
