Opened
in 1992, the golf course at the Montecastillo Hotel & Golf
Resort was designed by Jack Nicklaus, who competed here with his
sons Jackie and Gary when the course hosted the 1994 Turespaña
Master Open de España.
Moantecastillo traces its path through rolling terrain offering
splendid views from raised tees and ample targets at carefully
sited greens. "I like to see what I'm getting" explains
Nicklaus. The 18th is a case in point. The elevated tee looks
down 40 metres over a broad sweep of faiway bordering a lake to
the left with the green just beyond. The Montecastillo hotel and
clubhouse overlook the final hole. Montecastillo is currently
the home of the Volvo Masters, which was won here by Lee Westwood
in 1997 and Darren Clarke in '98.
