The General Manager of SO/Sotogrande and Almenara Golf, Stephan Menou, expressed his excitement for this project, stating that it will elevate Almenara Golf to a premier destination for golfers of all levels. The academy will not only provide top-notch coaching and practice facilities but also a unique lifestyle concept that merges entertainment with golf, offering a relaxed environment for the Sotogrande community and visitors to enjoy the game.
With construction already in progress, the Almenara Golf Academy will complement the existing 18-hole championship layout, showcasing Sotogrande's dedication to delivering exceptional golf experiences for its guests and members.
