Spain plan new Madrid course for 2018 Ryder Cup bid
FROM THE IRISHTIMES.COM WEBSITE
Spain’s hopes of staging the Ryder Cup for a second time in 2018 have been pinned on a new course to be built at Tres Cantos, 15 miles north of Madrid.
Valderrama played host in 1997, but this time the Spanish are in competition with France, Sweden, Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands.
The Royal Spanish Golf Federation has now announced that Valdeloshielos Farm has been selected for the construction of two courses — one with the Ryder Cup in mind and the other a public lay-out to meet the demands of the Madrid population.
Le Golf National near Paris, which has held the French Open for the last eight years, is the best known of the courses being considered by Europe’s Ryder Cup Committee, who are expected to make their decision next year.
Sweden will unveil Bro Hof near Stockholm when it stages the SAS Masters in July.
