Sherry Golf Jerez
Sherry Golf Jerez is a Stirling and Martin design opened in 2004 on the edge of the sherry capital, a par 72 in the American mould with wide fairways, big greens and water in play on roughly half the holes. Accessible for amateurs and demanding for the better player, it is an easy, enjoyable round to fold into a Cadiz golf week.

The verdict
Sherry Golf Jerez sits a few minutes from the heart of Jerez de la Frontera, the home of sherry and Spanish horse culture, and it brings a modern, resort style course to a city better known for its bodegas. Designed by Stirling and Martin of the Global Golf Company and opened in 2004, it follows the American design idea of generous landing areas guarded by water and sand, so it is safe to play yet rewards a thoughtful round.
The par 72 is full length from the back markers but very playable from the forward tees, with wide fairways and large greens that suit a mixed handicap group. Water comes into play on around half the holes, particularly on the back nine, so position matters more than power. With Montecastillo's championship test a short drive away, the two make a natural Jerez pairing. See our best of Spain ranking and the wider golf in Spain picture for where it fits.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from the club and recognized course databases.

Green fees were around 65 euros as an indicative 2026 guide, with peak season rates higher; figures change by season and year. Always confirm the current rate directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Sherry Golf is built on broadly flat ground, which makes it a comfortable walk and a course where the average golfer can score, but the designers added interest with lakes, ditches and well placed bunkering rather than with elevation. The fairways are wide enough to swing freely, and the trouble is visible, so the player can pick a line and commit.
The inward half is where the test sharpens. Water threatens on most of the closing holes, with only a couple free of an aquatic carry, so the back nine asks for discipline and a clear head when the round is on the line. The greens are large and receptive, rewarding a confident approach over a defensive one.
It is not a course that will overwhelm a holiday group, and that is the point: it is the relaxed, sociable round of the Jerez area, ideal as the gentler counterpoint to a championship day at Montecastillo on a buddies or society trip.

Where to stay nearby
Jerez de la Frontera offers a real Andalusian city base rather than a golf bubble, with sherry bodegas, flamenco, the equestrian school and an atmospheric old town full of tapas bars within a short drive of the first tee. It is well connected, with its own airport minutes away and Seville and the Cadiz coast both within an hour.
For a fuller golf week, Sherry Golf pairs naturally with the Nicklaus championship test at Montecastillo Golf, the 27 holes at Costa Ballena on the coast at Rota, and the Ballesteros design at Novo Sancti Petri, making the province of Cadiz a varied base.
