El Rompido, Cartaya, Costa de la Luz, Andalucia, Spain

El Rompido is 36 Hole golf resort, opened in 2003, is now ranked 15th best golf course in Spain. There are two golf courses called the North and South with the North being the newest edition. The real strength to both courses is the natural beauty in which they sit. The local area is called El Paraje Natural de las Marismas del Río Piedras (The natural park of stone river marshes) delightful fir trees, estuary views of scrub, heather, marshes and sea. The prevalent pungent smell of lemon pine played to a chorus of croaking frogs make playing golf in this environment very enjoyable. There is an abundance of wildlife, where herons and storks frequent. The north course has an added addition with a few holes hugging a local Orange grove plantation. These courses are a real rarity to most other southern Spanish coastline courses, with ugly villa developments hugging the fairways. 90% of El Rompido courses have no development.
Both courses have some visually stunning holes, where island greens and fairways align the out of bound marshes and scrub. The 13th on the North is a very special hole, a short par four with an elevated tee down to an island green that is surrounded by marshes. The views into the distance are sublime.
Equally the signature hole of the South course has to be the stroke index one par 5 14th that hugs the marshes on the right all the way from tee to green. Shades of the par 5 16th at the TPC Sawgrass about it!

Both courses have near identical yardages of around 6,700 yards off the championship tees. We believe El Rompido is a perfect venue for our Father and Son event in that it offers a enjoyable playable challenge for all competitors.
