Course for a hole in one
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed January 15, 2013
Thought the Gramacho course was very challenging which made it even better thanit looked stunning views very well kept for the beginning of January, all helped by a teriffic hole in one on the Tenth hole, 147 yards stepped up 7 iron in hand played to slight slope at right of green which run onto the green and fell in the hole amazing.

Price-performance?
2.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 2, 2023
Since we have known the Gramacho golf course since it was built and have played there several times, we wanted to play another round.
Despite the high season, we were surprised by the amount of green fees charged.
For a green fee of 135 euros per person without a buggy or trolley, you can expect a decent place.
Starting with the furrowed tees (white was ok) to the z. With fairways that are sometimes very dry and greens that are quite bumpy and slow and full of pitch marks, the course currently looks rather poorly maintained. The bunkers are full of stones almost everywhere.
Conclusion: Compared to previous years, Gramacho needs significant improvement.
The price-performance ratio is no longer consistent!

Pinta course played on March 20th, 2023. Fareways in good condition, very bumpy green, unkempt bunker.
Basically, it is an interesting and varied course. We (2 people) found it strange that the starter let the flight partners assigned to us start separately because they belonged to a group in front of them, and that with full capacity utilization of the space. The marshal then came by twice and shrugged his shoulders and stated that things weren't going very well (5.5 hours for the round)
Was a tough day
