A very pleasant surprise
Reviewed December 5, 2024
Based on previous reviews, I expected a "sand field" where a round would only be justified by the low green fee. But what we (Hcp 9/11) encountered far exceeded expectations.
Place
- Varied courses, mostly very wide and only spiced up with some interesting water hazards on the second nine holes.
- Precise play is generally an advantage, as the ball then comes to rest on the fairway grass and not on a sandy or stony surface. Desert golf...
- A few differences in height give the otherwise flat place a little more charm.
- Can easily be walked if you are willing to walk the sheer length.
- There are sufficient signs to the next hole. There are also toilets.
Condition
- The same grass for all sections of the course (including the green) is interesting and not at all distracting - not even the dark green color that is obviously necessary to make the greens stand out better. If you play several holes with the same ball, it slowly takes on the green color.
- The tees are flat, the fairways are covered in dense and beautifully short-cut grass, the semit is a little longer and easy to play, the bunkers have enough sand in them and the greens roll well and bite quite well on high approaches. By the way: There was no dead grass during our visit.
- We had great weather (with a brisk wind) and the devastating storms had already happened a good three weeks ago. That's why everything was dry and easy to walk on. In wet weather there are probably some muddy passages that might not be so pleasant.
Attachment
- Everything you need is there. Driving range, putting green, pro shop, bar/cafeteria, toilets and parking spaces. Nothing luxurious, but certainly valuable and sensibly designed.
- Tip: The bar/cafeteria (which also serves beer, wine and food) is wonderful. If you want something a little more classy, go to the "6 Sentidos" in the same area (about 2-3 minutes by car), where they also serve hot meals all day - highly recommended.
staff
- Nice to courteous - everything wonderful
- Many (pleasant) golfers from the UK, which gives the whole club an English touch (even in the bar/cafeteria)
Miscellaneous
- The green fee is attractive (with the Golfamore card anyway)
- The flow of the game can probably also be slow if there are a lot of flights on the course - during our visit in the afternoon we made good progress and did an extra loop twice (played holes 7/8 and 13/14 twice) so that we didn't have to sneak behind a flight of 4. We needed about 4 hours for 22 holes.
Conclusion: A great day of golf that we would like to repeat here.

Inexpensive desert place
Reviewed February 27, 2022
The facility is new and much is still under construction. There are no signs and the grass doesn't grow that much in January, so the look, like in almost all places in the region, is not appealing.
But playing a desert course for little money in January in bright sunshine was fun (46€).
You can run it very well, but I would not have paid a higher green fee.

Desolate
Reviewed February 2, 2022
Whoever had the idea of continuously seeding a desert golf course on tees, fairways and greens with a single type of grass that dies back from November to March similar to Bermuda grass should not be surprised that this will remain a unique selling proposition. In any case, the place looks desolate on February 2 in the combination of light beige concrete-like "rough" all around and light beige vegetation in the middle. and it will stay that way: in the high season the place looks desolate. plus rock-hard greens, on which even a high-played ball doesn't last.
There are no hole descriptions, the only information is the length from the tee to the green, you hardly see balls landing in this melange and then they roll uncontrolled somewhere into nirvana. Golfers, if you come to this area: don't do it, even 45 euros for 18 holes are overpaid. The best is the makeshift clubhouse (on the range, not signposted) with the decent pub.

Course under constructions but looking good
Reviewed August 17, 2021
I played the first 9 and holes 10 and 18 the rest of the holes are in the preparation phase but they are already clearly visible and recently sown, at first sight if everything goes as planned it could become an excellent course, in the style of the area, hopefully it doesn't end up like some other projects in the area see Nicklaus's trail.
At the moment there is an excellent driving range and an adjacent temporary but efficient bar.
