Talayuela at Hotel Valles de Gredos

Talayuela is an 18-hole course in the province of Cáceres, designed by Severiano Ballesteros and situated within the Hotel Valles de Gredos complex in western Spain. The course lies in Extremadura's agricultural heartland, with views toward the Sierra de Gredos mountain range to the north. Ballesteros, who designed several courses across Spain during his career, brought his competitive experience to layouts that typically emphasize strategic shot-making over pure length.

The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat terrain common to this part of the Iberian Peninsula, with water features and bunkering providing the primary challenge. The design reflects Ballesteros's preference for rewarding creativity and course management, characteristics evident in many of his Spanish projects. The setting offers a contrast between the cultivated landscape of Extremadura and the more dramatic mountain backdrop visible from elevated points on the property.

Talayuela serves both resort guests at the hotel and regional golfers, functioning as one of the few regulation courses in northern Extremadura. The facility includes practice areas and operates within the broader amenities of the hotel complex, which caters to visitors exploring the Gredos region and the historic towns of western Spain.
