R.N.C.G.S.S. Basozabal

R.N.C.G.S.S. Basozabal brings together an 18-hole golf course and a clubhouse with sporting and social facilities in San Sebastián. Located in Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country, the club has a course designed by golfer José María Olazábal. Length and technical variety are its defining characteristics.

For a golfer considering San Sebastián as part of a visit to Spain, those details provide the starting point for understanding Basozabal. The golf is complemented by a restaurant, events, and clubhouse facilities that extend beyond the course itself.

Golf by José María Olazábal

Olazábal’s design is central to the club’s identity. The 18-hole layout stands out for its length, but that is only part of its character: technical variety is also a distinguishing feature. Taken together, these qualities give a clearer picture of the course than length alone.

When comparing golf options for a stay in the Basque Country, Basozabal can therefore be understood through three main facts: its San Sebastián location, its designer and the combination of length and technical variety across 18 holes. The course is the golfing focus of a club with a broader range of facilities.

Beyond the course

The clubhouse brings together a bar, lounge, swimming pools, and padel and tennis courts. These facilities add a social side and other sports to the club’s golf offering. They are part of the overall picture of Basozabal, rather than details of the course design.

The bar and lounge provide the clubhouse’s social spaces, while the courts bring both padel and tennis into the sporting mix. Swimming pools complete this group of facilities. For visitors looking at what the club offers alongside golf, this is a useful distinction: Basozabal is not solely an 18-hole course.

Restaurant and events

Restaurante Tentempié is the club’s restaurant and has its own entry in the guide. Events are another part of the club’s offering, also covered on a separate page.

Golf, dining, social spaces and other sports make up the club’s overall offering in San Sebastián. At its centre is Olazábal’s course, defined by length and technical variety; alongside it are the clubhouse, swimming pools, padel and tennis courts, restaurant and events.
