Real Club Valderrama has been voted best golf course in Spain for the third consecutive year by users of the website leadingcourses.com. The rankings are compiled on the basis of 300,000 comments from golfers across Europe. The comments cover numerous aspects that influence the quality of the club, such as the course itself, overall impression of the club, maintenance, practice facilities, clubhouse and perceived value for money. <\/p>\n

\u201cValderrama has always been known for the high quality of the golf course and tournaments we have hosted,\u201d says\u00a0general manager Javier Reviriego. \u201cLeading the Golfers\u2019 Choice Awards for the third consecutive year means that our visiting golfers also value the service and experience we offer. Our team is very proud of this and we will continue to work hard to provide our guests with the highest standards of excellence on and off the golf course.\u201d <\/p>\n

When golfers only ranked the course itself \u2013 that is, without taking into account other elements such as appreciation of the clubhouse and practice facilities \u2013 the players\u00a0again chose Valderrama as their number one. Valderrama\u2019s fairways have been described by top professionals and leading golf writers as the best in Europe, if not the world. <\/p>\n

A green fee at Royal Valderrama costs 330\u00a0euros for 18 holes on a weekday, but golfers noted that this price, while high, was fair. \u201cEverything is designed to give you the best golf experience of your life,\u201d says Schonkieboy. Another user, Jeroen, notes for his part, \u201cIf you can\u00a0pay a\u00a0high green fee, you will receive an unforgettable experience on a course\u00a0with a great and rich golf history.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new number two in the leadingcourses.com ranking is Son Gual, located in the heart of Mallorca, while another Costa del Sol club, Finca Cortes\u00edn, is third, PGA Catalunya fourth and Alcanada fifth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

International certificates for Valderrama managers<\/strong><\/p>\n

In another development, Valderrama\u2019s Operations Director, Fernando Padr\u00f3n,\u00a0, and Silvia Serrano, Executive Assistant, have earned the prestigious Certified Club Manager (CCM) titles. The demanding training process to obtain this title was designed by the Club Managers Association of Europe (CMAE), and the certification is recognized in the United States, Australia, Canada, China and South Africa. Silvia is the first woman in Spain to receive a CCM and, along with Debbie Pern from Scotland, also the first in Europe. <\/p>\n
