Las Brisas Golf Club

Las Brisas is one of the oldest and finest courses on the Costa del Sol with a sporting history that it is very pround of. Founded in 1968 by D. Jose Banus, it was designed by the renowned American, Robert Trent Jones, already considered one of the best golf course designers in the world. He had just finished building the golf course at Sotogrande and after Las Brisas, went on to design Los Naranjos and Valderrama.

The course includes numerous water obstacles; there are ten artificial lakes fed by two streams. The greens, the majority of which are raised, are amply protected by bunkers. The results of Robert Trent Jones's efforts, which we continue to enjoy today, were truly notable and original, obtaining a difficult and attractive course.

To complement to the original design, the Englishman Gerald Huggan was commissioned by D. José Banús to design the landscaping and the course's arboretum. Gerald Huggan, a great specialist in subtropical plants, had just returned from Kenya where he had designed the Nairobi gardens. The result is a place where are trees representing all the continents: species from Africa like the Cape Chestnut and the Spiny Acacias, the Indian Laurel and the Mysore Ficus from Asia, Chorisia Speciosa from America and the Green Ash from Mexico, and the Blackwood and the Whistling Pine from Australia, together with numerous species of palms and Mediterranean trees which coexist in great harmony, turning the course into a veritable botanic garden.

Numerous professional tournaments which have been hosted throughout the history of the club include two World Cups, three Spanish International Opens and the first ever Mediterranean Open. Nowadays, Las Brisas has around 1,350 members from 30 different nationalities, and its private status allow only very few visitors green fees each day.

The architecture of the clubhouse surprises visitors because of its elegance and its integration with the surroundings. The facilities, functional and cosy, are decorated in classic pastel tones. They hold every service you need; member area, lockers room, sauna, terrace-bar, restaurant and car park.
