Campo de Golf Santander
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Campo de Golf Santander?
We find late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the perfect balance at Santander. You'll enjoy pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds than the peak summer months, ensuring a more relaxed round on this beautifully maintained course.
How challenging is Campo de Golf Santander, and what makes its design unique?
Santander is a proper test, especially if the wind picks up, but it's fair. You'll navigate a fantastic mix of long par-4s and tricky par-3s, all designed by Seve Ballesteros, which means strategic bunkering and water hazards demand your full attention. The course truly rewards thoughtful play over brute force.

You absolutely can't miss the par-3 16th, which plays over water to a challenging green - it's a real beauty and a potential card-wrecker. We also love the panoramic views from the higher points of the course, offering glimpses of the surrounding Cantabrian landscape, a nice contrast to the city feel.

Is Campo de Golf Santander good value for money, and what facilities can I expect?
While not the cheapest round in Spain, we believe Santander offers excellent value given its championship pedigree and immaculate condition. You'll find a modern clubhouse with a good restaurant, a well-stocked pro shop, and top-tier practice areas that truly enhance the overall experience.
