Valderrama
has two prevailing winds: the poniente
from the land and the levante from
the Mediterranean. Valderrama, of
Sotogrande, Spain, site of the 1997
Ryder Cup, is now accessible to all
in this faithful and gorgeous simulation
from Access Software.
In the mid-80s, Robert Trent Jones,
Sr. was commissioned to fine-tune
his original design of the Spanish
course that would become Valderrama.
Resting between the grandeur of the
Sierra Blanca mountains and the Mediterranean,
Valderrama features distant views
of Gibraltar and North Africa from
higher ground. Gnarled cork trees
garnish the terrain, accompanied by
scattered olive trees and abundant
wildflowers.
In 91, 93 and 95,
Golf World voted Valderrama the #1
golf club in Europe. This home of
the annual Volvo Masters tournament
was richly rewarded in 94 when
The Ryder Cup committee selected Valderrama
as the host of the 97 matches.
