Real Club de Golf de Sevilla
Real Club de Golf de Sevilla is the signature design of two time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal, opened in 1992 outside Seville. A long, demanding par 72 that has hosted the World Cup of Golf and three editions of the Open de Espana, it is the standout championship round of inland Andalusia.

The verdict
Real Club de Golf de Sevilla is the course Jose Maria Olazabal built, a layout that carries the fingerprints of one of Spain's greatest players and a man who knows exactly what separates the good from the great. Opened in 1992 at Alcala de Guadaira, a short drive from the center of Seville, it is a long, serious par 72 that the European Tour came to trust.
The tournament record tells the story: the World Cup of Golf in 2004, then the Open de Espana in 2008, 2010 and 2012. This is a championship test that welcomes visiting golfers, the headline round on a Seville trip and a sterner examination than most of the Andalusian resort courses.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from the club and recognized course databases. The course, designed by Jose Maria Olazabal, opened in 1992, a par 72 of about 6,500 yards from the standard tees that stretches considerably longer from the championship markers, and a World Cup and Open de Espana host. It is a members club that welcomes visitors; the green fee varies by day and season in 2026. Indicative only; always confirm the current rate directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Olazabal built a course that asks for the complete game. There is real length here, enough to need every club, and the strategic bunkering and water that come into play on a string of holes mean the player must commit to the line and back it up with the swing. It is a layout designed by a champion to identify champions, and it shows.
The greens are the heart of the test, large, contoured and quick when the club prepares them for a tournament, so the approach has to find the right tier and the putting demands a deft touch. From the championship tees it becomes one of the longest and most exacting courses in the country, which is precisely why the European Tour brought its biggest Spanish events here.
For the everyday visitor it plays more forgivingly from the forward markers, but the pedigree is always present: this is a genuine tournament course, the round that gives a Seville golf trip its serious centerpiece, set against the warm light and long season of inland Andalusia.

Where to stay nearby
Seville is the obvious and irresistible base, fifteen to twenty minutes from the course, one of the great cities of Spain with a deep choice of hotels from converted palaces in Santa Cruz to design led stays near the river. Golf by day and the cathedral, the Alcazar, flamenco and tapas by night is a formula few destinations can match.
