Course Layout
& Hole-by-Hole Guide
Hole 1 – Par 4
Stay on the right side of the fairway to reach the green, which is guarded by five olive trees on the left, a bunker in front, another on the right, and another on the crest to the left. To avoid these obstacles, a precise shot to the green's surface is recommended.
Hole 2 – Par 4
This hole is played slightly downhill towards an uneven green. On the left side of the green lies a large bunker.
Hole 3 – Par 3
The longest Par 3 on the course requires a combination of distance and accuracy to reach the green, with bunkers on each side.
Hole 4 – Par 5
A Par 5 with pine trees from the tee to the green. A small pond in front of the tee is just a psychological obstacle, and staying on the fairway is crucial.
Hole 5 – Par 4
A slight dogleg to the left. Pine trees line the left side of the fairway, and a long shot can reach a bunker on the right. A slope before the green can make the approach challenging, with bunkers on both sides.
Hole 6 – Par 3
A challenging Par 3 with the green nestled between a lake on the left and a bunker on the opposite side.
Hole 7 – Par 4
A narrow fairway, especially on the left, making the tee shot difficult. On the approach to the green, there is the same difficulty on the right, in addition to it being protected by two bunkers.
Hole 8 – Par 5
It is possible to reach the hole in two shots if you avoid the two bunkers on the left. A slope before the green can prevent the second shot from rolling onto it.
Hole 9 – Par 4
The left dogleg allows you to avoid the two bunkers on the left and have a chance to make a birdie using a half wedge.
Hole 10 – Par 4
A draw drive avoids the bunker on the right of the fairway, providing a comfortable shot towards the green, which is protected by bunkers.
Hole 11 – Par 5
The Par 5 has three bunkers that catch drives that are off the line of play. Finish with a high shot to reach the slightly sloped green.
Hole 12 – Par 4
In this Par 4, a shot with a wood and a short iron is enough to reach the green. Pay attention to putts from back to front, as this green tends to be fast and uneven.
Hole 13 – Par 3
Always play with the longest club to avoid the bunker in front of the green. The slightly sloped green has a narrow entrance and is protected by another bunker on the right.
Hole 14 – Par 4
Avoid the two bunkers on both sides of the fairway, as the approach shot should be with an iron. The green is protected by bunkers on both sides.
Hole 15 – Par 3
The green, besides being guarded by five bunkers, slopes slightly from the upper right to the lower left.
Hole 16 – Par 4
The green is not visible from the tees due to the elevation of the first few meters of the fairway and is protected by three bunkers with a narrow entrance. Play the drive towards the triangle formed by three bunkers on the fairway.
Hole 17 – Par 4
A lake on the right or two bunkers on the opposite side can be obstacles for an off-target drive. The green is reachable with a slightly sloped 9-iron or an approach wedge.
Hole 18 – Par 5
Out of bounds to the right and a narrow area between a lake on the left and a bunker at the end of the fairway. The second shot should stay right, away from the water. It is advisable to use an iron and then an approach wedge to reach the green.
