La Reserva Pitched as Possible DP World Tour Championship Alternative
The article argues La Reserva Club should be considered if the DP World Tour Championship needs to move from Dubai to Spain. It accepts Real Club de Golf Sotogrande as a logical candidate because it has hosted the Andalucía Masters and DP World Tour golf as recently as 2024. La Reserva, designed by Cabell B. Robinson and opened in 2003, is described as a spacious modern layout with wide fairways and large greens that can be played in multiple ways.
The piece responds to speculation that the DP World Tour Championship could leave Dubai for Spain if Middle East conditions require a change. It treats Real Club de Golf Sotogrande as a sensible option, citing its Andalucía Masters history and DP World Tour hosting in 2024.
La Reserva Club, opened in 2003 and designed by Cabell B. Robinson, is presented as a modern, roomy alternative. Its broad fairways, expansive greens, varied angles, rolling land, bunkers and water features allow flexible setup, and it has staged the Aramco Team Series.
If the championship were relocated, Sotogrande’s residents, clubs, hotels and local businesses could see greater visitor spending and international attention. Golf fans and players may benefit from a different, accessible venue, while members at the chosen course might face temporary access limits and event-related disruption. The DP World Tour and its partners could gain scheduling flexibility, though the wider impact would depend on how well transport, accommodation and community interests are managed.
