\"Top100-Golf-Courses-Spain\"<\/a><\/p>\n

January 11, 2016 \u2013<\/strong> Once again, it\u2019s time to present the biennial revision of put Top 100 rankings for mainland Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands, but before we reveal the new chart, we\u2019ll take a quick look at some the highlights. Some may feel that there aren\u2019t too many exciting manoeuvres within the revised standings, though it could be argued that\u2019s a good thing because it might just mean that we\u2019re now aligning Spanish courses correctly.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, the Stadium<\/strong><\/a> layout at PGA Catalunya<\/strong> remains in the top spot. The course ousted Real Valderrama<\/strong><\/a> from the number 1 slot four years ago and it\u2019ll retain pole position in our Iberian chart for at least another two years. Owner Denis O\u2019Brien might not be best pleased that his resort didn\u2019t succeed in its recent bid to host the 2022 Ryder Cup but life goes on regardless and it was possibly the correct decision to award the matches to a European country that had yet to hold the event.<\/p>\n

\"Top100-Sotogrande\"<\/a>Inching up a single place to number 2, Real Sotogrande<\/strong><\/a> returns to the runner-up spot in our new table, a position that is last held in 2008 when we first established our Spanish Top 100. The course also climbs eight places to number 7 in our Continental Europe chart so a \u201cprofound restoration\u201d of the layout by former RTJ associate Roger Rulewich to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the club in 2014 has not gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n

A couple of courses reclaim Top 10 positions, with both rising seven places to do so. The first layout is Robert Trent Jones Snr\u2019s Real Las Brisas<\/strong><\/a> in Marbella, which now occupies the number 6 position. The course began its stint in the inaugural Spanish chart at number 5 eight years ago so it has now regained ground that had been lost, largely due to its recent Kyle Phillips renovation.<\/p>\n

One spot behind, at number 7, comes Real Sevilla<\/strong><\/a>, which started out at number 8 in 2008 so this Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal design has more than made up for a short term dip in its ranking performance. Coincidentally, both of these tracks have previously hosted the once-prestigious World Cup of Golf in years gone by so perhaps they now have visions of recapturing some of their former glory.<\/p>\n

\"Top100-Neguri\"<\/a>Neguri<\/a><\/strong> climbs five places to number 13 and it also re-enters our Continental Europe Top 100 after a six-year absence. Located closet o the Cantabrian coastline, just 20 kilometres north of Bilbao city centre, the Javier Arana-designer masterpiece at Campo La Galea is a fitting testament to the skills of a much underrated architect who set out the course for the club\u2019s members when it moved to its present location in 1961.<\/p>\n

The Top 100 Team visited La Manga a while back and we were very impressed by what we experienced. We\u2019ve since listened to a number of well-travelled golfers who all told us we had the resort\u2019s three courses ranked too low in the listings so we\u2019ve taken corrective action, resulting in each of the three courses improving their position on the chart. The newest course, the West<\/strong><\/a>, leaps nineteen places to number 17 whilst the South<\/strong><\/a>, which hosted the Spanish Open five times during the 1970s, climbs ten places to number 27. The shortest layout on the property, the North<\/strong><\/a>, soars an incredible twenty-four places to number 39.<\/p>\n

\"Top100-Alhama\"<\/a>That\u2019s a sensational jump but it\u2019s not the biggest upward movement on the new chart as that\u2019s reserved for Alhama<\/strong><\/a>, which was a new entry last time around at number 78. This Jack Nicklaus Signature course is one of half a dozen belonging to the \u201cIRM Golf Experience\u201d (formerly titled \u201cThe Nicklaus Golf Trail\u201d) which offers golfers the opportunity to play at any of the six Nicklaus courses in its Murcia consortium for a discounted green fee rate. It rockets thirty-five places up the new Top 100 to number 43.<\/p>\n

A total of 13 new entries are incorporated into our latest Spanish listing, two of which appear in the top half of the chart. La Moraleja (3)<\/strong><\/a> and La Moraleja (4)<\/strong><\/a> are exciting new additions to the Golf Moraleja brand in Madrid, with both tracks laid out in the municipality of Algete, some 20 kilometres northwest of the two old established courses closet to the international airport. Number 3 course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature layout, debuts at number 19 whilst the number 4 track, by Nicklaus Design, enters at number 44.<\/p>\n

In the bottom half of the table, the 18-hole Azul course at Escorpion Golf Club<\/strong><\/a>, near Valencia, comes in at number 58 and the resort course at Oliva Nova<\/strong><\/a> on the Costa Blanca muscles in at number 61. The spectacular New (North) course at Salobre<\/strong><\/a> in Gran Canaria tucks in just behind this Seve Ballesteros design at number 63 and it\u2019s followed by another debutant at 79, Mar Menor<\/strong><\/a> in Murcia, which is a rather unique hybrid layout from Dave Thomas and Nicklaus Design, where two nines were fashioned independently.<\/p>\n

\"Top100-Llavaneras\"<\/a>One of the oldest clubs in Catalonia, Llavaneras<\/strong><\/a>, was established in 1945, when Fred Hawtree laid out the original 9-hole course for the founding members. Subsequently extended to an 18-hole layout, the course has served golfers to the north of Barcelona for over seventy years now and it breaks into our new chart at number 82. Three places further on, at number 85, we have another new entry and this time it\u2019s an unheralded Mallorcan tracked called Maioris<\/strong><\/a>, which has only been in play for around ten years. Such was the impression it made on a recent Top 100 visit to the Balearic Islands, it now finds itself quoted within the Spanish national listings.<\/p>\n

We always welcome comments when we publish updated national rankings, so please feel free to let us know what you think of our new Top 100 for Spain. Have we left out a layout that really should be listed or have we included a course which doesn\u2019t deserve recognition? Perhaps there\u2019s a particular track sitting too high in the chart or there\u2019s one lying too low? Please click the \u201cRespond to this article<\/a>\u201d link at the top or at the bottom of the page if you\u2019d like to give us your opinion.<\/p>\n
