Spain | Cadiz | Montecastillo Golf Resort
Highlights
Hot-summers and above average rain (for Spain) in winter.
Places to visit
The Barcelo Montecastillo Golf Resort is one of the best value for money places you can stay and play, probably because it is a little out of the way (next to a racing circuit).
However, it is a five star resort with separate Spa facilities and outdoor pool areas. We found the food and drink was of good quality and made use of the spa facilities.

Features
Our opinion
We found it to be a challenging course with water hazards on a number of holes.
Whilst enjoyable, what this resort lacks is a second course.
The experience
Getting a flight to Jerez can be a little tricky and potentially quite costly (depending on the time of year and where you are flying from) so we instead flew to Seville and hired a car. The temperature was consistently over thirty degrees which some might find a little uncomfortable for golf, so a buggy might be required.
We arranged to go all-inclusive which we felt was worth the upgrade cost and there is a help yourself area for beer and other refreshments.
Dining outside for breakfast, lunch and dinner appeared to be the norm and there is a cosy area for the purpose by the hotel pool.
After golf, use of the spa facilities was as welcoming as it was relaxing.
Like many golf resorts a round can take longer than one would like, so take plenty of water. There is a vending station and toilet block before hole 10, just in case.
Definitely value for money and well worth a visit.
