What Real Club de Golf Las Brisas does

Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is a private members golf club located in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, Spain, founded in 1968 by D. José Banús as 'Club de Golf Nueva Andalucía'. The club operates an 18-hole championship course originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and significantly renovated by golf course architect Kyle Phillips in 2015. The course features ten artificial lakes, Bermuda grass fairways, Pencross Bent greens, and an exceptional botanical landscape curated by Gerald Huggan. The club was granted the 'Real' (Royal) prefix by King Juan Carlos I in 1995 and is ranked #5 in Spain's Top 100 Courses (2025) and #22 in Continental Europe's Top 100 Courses (2025). It has hosted major international tournaments including the Open de España (1970, 1983, 1987), World Cup (1973, 1989), and Women's Spanish Open (2023).

The club is owned collectively by its members through Campogolf S.A., which holds the club's assets and has issued 1,320 shares that members must purchase to join. Approximately 1,225 members from 30+ nationalities comprise the membership base. Admission requires sponsorship from two active members, share acquisition, and board approval. Revenue is generated through a €35,000 entry fee, an annual membership fee of €4,000 (2026), equipment rentals (buggies, trolleys, clubs), food and beverage across restaurant, chiringuito, and bar services, and limited green fees from non-member guests (capped at 8 rounds per year) and correspondence arrangements with partner clubs (RC Sevilla Golf, Aloha, RC Sotogrande at €50/round). Technology infrastructure consists of a multilingual website (English/Spanish), social media presence (Instagram @rcglasbrisas, YouTube tutorials, Facebook), and the TeeOne Golf booking platform for tournament reservations and member-area access. The club employs 11-50 staff under a board-led management structure headed by President Antonio Cobo and Director General Paul Muñoz.
