Did you know?

King Alfonso XIII conferred the Royal prefix on Sociedad Hípica Española (Spanish Equestrian Society) in 1909; at the time this was essentially an equestrian club. In the early 1930s the club expanded along country club lines, which included a 9-hole golf course built in 1932. The club's first 18-hole course was the North course, designed by Robert von Hagge and opened in 1997.

By royal prerogative, at least 18 Spanish golf clubs can now use the "Royal" title, including: Bendinat, El Prat, Guadalmina, La Herreria, Las Brisas, Las Palmas, Malaga, Neguri, New San Sebastian (Basozabal), Pedrena, Puerta de Hierro, R.A.C.E. (Jarama), San Sebastian, Seville, Sociedad Hipica Espanola, Sotogrande, Tenerife and Valderrama.

At least two other clubs once carried the Royal title: Royal Menorca (now closed) and Royal Deportivo Las Lomas-El Bosque, now called GC Lomas-Bosque.
