El Bosque Golf Club
The golf course was designed in 1973 and was opened in 1975. The designer, Robert Trent Jones Snr. who designed Valderrama, thought long and hard about the course. He has made it playable for all types of golfers but also hard enough for the better golfers off the back tees. As a general rule a golf course has a par of 36 + 36 = 72 and a total distance of 6.100 metres. El Bosque conforms to this, measuring from the championship tees almost 6.300 metres. But the length is not everything. Sometimes too much importance is given to this factor, bearing in mind that normally one plays between 5,700 - 5,800 metres from the men's tees and less than 5,000 metres from the ladies' tees. These variations are possible thanks to the long, wide, tees in the style which for more than thirty years has been the trademark of R.T. Jones.
