San Roque & Estepona 2023

Message from your course co-ordinators, Tony Buckley & Tadgh O’Meara:

Gents, the quality is evident throughout – the redeveloped Old San Roque course ranks among the finest, and Estepona, with its charming narrow streets, bustling squares, and authentic Spanish restaurants, is a delightful town. Here’s to some decent weather and a enjoyable trip for all! Do remember to communicate your evening plans to ensure no one is left out.

Please note the itinerary is slightly different to other years, we will have our presentation meal on Friday night 20.30 in a local tapas restaurant beside our hotel, La Casa del Rey. This is to facilitate watching the Irish Rugby World Cup match v Scotland on the Saturday night. Suggestion is Dooleys Bar in Puerto Duquesa (10 min taxi) and should be a hopping spot to watch the match.

Please ensure your travel insurance is up to date and remember your personal security when away. Estepona is a lovely friendly town but we are sitting ducks for sneak thieves and pick pockets and never walk alone at night.
