Key Features
Formerly known as Almenara Golf, The Alto Club is an 18-hole course in the hills of Sotogrande, beside SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort and close to Los Alcornocales Natural Park.
Originally designed by Dave Thomas and later remodelled by Manuel Piñero, the course follows the natural contours of the landscape. Pine-lined fairways, changes in elevation and water hazards create a varied round where careful positioning and club selection count.
With views towards the Mediterranean and a peaceful woodland setting, The Alto Club is an appealing addition to a golf holiday in Sotogrande. Its extensive practice facilities also make it a good choice for golfers looking to work on their game between rounds.
The course opened as Almenara Golf in 1998, with a design by renowned golf course architect Dave Thomas. Subsequent improvements by former Ryder Cup player Manuel Piñero helped shape the layout golfers enjoy today.
Now known as The Alto Club, the venue combines its established main course with a substantially updated golf academy. The former Alcornoques nine-hole area has been transformed to support the new training facilities, while a separate nine-hole par-3 course, designed by Piñero, offers another way to play.
The SoCiety clubhouse provides a welcoming place to meet before your tee time or relax after your round. Take a seat on the terrace to enjoy views across the course towards the Mediterranean, or head inside for a leisurely lunch.
The restaurant, operated in partnership with SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort, serves seasonal dishes including Spanish favourites, pasta and salads. A Grab & Go corner offers a convenient option for golfers wanting something quick.
Golf reception, a pro shop stocking clothing and accessories, and locker rooms complete the clubhouse facilities.
