Pretium Golf – Severiano Ballesteros Lavín – La Junquera

On a peninsula south of Santander Bay, Pretium Golf – Severiano Ballesteros Lavín – La Junquera brings together a nine-hole course, practice facilities, a golf school and Pilates. The club is in Marina de Cudeyo, Cantabria, with views across the bay to the city and towards the Picos de Europa.

For a golfer exploring this part of northern Spain, the setting is an important part of the introduction: Santander Bay, the city and the mountains all feature in the outlook from the course.

The course at a glance

La Junquera opened in 1997. Its nine holes have a par of 32, with a total length of 2,023 metres from the yellow tees and 1,761 metres from the red tees. Those two measurements provide the key reference points for the scale of the layout.

The course details are:

• Nine holes, par 32.
• Opened in 1997.
• Yellow tees: 2,023 metres.
• Red tees: 1,761 metres.
• Location: Marina de Cudeyo, Cantabria.

The club’s full name combines Pretium Golf, Severiano Ballesteros Lavín and La Junquera. Its geographical reference is Marina de Cudeyo, on the southern side of Santander Bay.

Practice facilities

The facilities extend beyond the nine-hole course. There is a driving range, a putting green, an approach area and a practice bunker. Putting, approach shots and bunker play therefore have their own practice spaces alongside the range.

When considering what the club offers, it is useful to separate the course itself from these training areas. The par-32 layout is one part of the golf provision; the range and short-game facilities are another. Together, they give visitors a clear picture of the golf facilities available at La Junquera.

Golf school and Pilates

The club also has a golf school and offers Pilates. Each has its own page in the guide, separate from this overview of the course and practice facilities.

A setting on Santander Bay

La Junquera’s position on a peninsula places the bay at the centre of its setting. The outlook also includes Santander and the Picos de Europa, bringing coastal, urban and mountain views into the same course surroundings. These views accompany a nine-hole layout in the Cantabrian municipality of Marina de Cudeyo.
