| Located next
to the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit near Jerez,
Montecastillo opened for play in 1992. The
official inauguration was made during the 1994
Turespana Masters open de Andalucia by Jack
Nicklaus, the course designer, who had come from
America with his sons, Jackie and Gary, to
compete in the event. Following the "Golden
Bear's" preferences - "I hate uphill
lies" - Montecastillo is mostly flat. But
where the terrain takes control a downhill course
has been engineered; "I like to see what I'm
getting" is the explanation. The 18th is one
hole which proves the design philosophy; an
elevated tee looks down 40 metres over a broad
sweep of fairway bordering a lake to the left,
Montecastillo Hotel and Castle Club overlook the
final green from the right. |
