Jose Maria Olazabal

Profile

Aside from helping steer Europe to Ryder Cup glory on more than one occasion, Jose Maria Olazabal also won two US Masters at Augusta National and is a man with the pedigree and reputation to secure plenty of design work in his native Spain and across Europe. Whether Olazabal is a passionate golf designer or another celebrity cashing in on his success remains unclear, but on the evidence of Real Club de Golf Seville there is a long way to go before he can be considered a genuine architect of ability.

The Olazabal Course at Mission Hills in China is also a fairly tame effort, though it was one of the ten courses built by Schmidt and Curley and it’s likely Olazabal had very little involvement in its design.
