San Roque (New)
The San Roque Club (New course): A new course at San Roque was always likely to be good. It was therefore no surprise to get something that matched the existing and also excellent Old Course. And, like its older sibling, the New offers no let up in the challenge it lays down, notwithstanding recent reports of indifferent presentation standards (received by us in Jan 2024; a temporary phenomenon?).
The New course occupies higher ground on the San Roque estate and as such provides stunning views over the sea, surrounding villa-clad hills and distant mountains. Exposure to the wind is also the case. The undulating course layout, like the Old course, will push your game to its limit, with each hole presenting a different challenge.
Perry Dye, aided by Seve Ballesteros, crafted the widest array of design features into this layout. The bunkering is of every imaginable shape, size and depth - be it sand or grass, pot or sleepered, small or gigantic. A few stretches are more wooded, others more open, and a few blind drives are in the mix. The often small greens demand accurate appoach work of the highest order - the long par-4 1st hole underlining that fact.
Water is employed on only four holes, but on each occasion it closely guards one side of the green. The fairways are not overly wide, especially on several very testing short par-4s. Beyond the fairways there is penal rough, although often ablaze with wild flowers and beautiful to look at. This perhaps neatly characterises San Roque's New Course, both a beauty and a beast!
