La Marquesa Golf

Tight course built in two loops of nine, with back nine across fairly busy road. Set in palm tree lined valley surrounded by ex pat housing estate, the hazards on this course are all down the right hand side and consist of roads and river beds though the bunkers are well placed and guard many greens. This is a course where length of the tee is not important but the ability not to hit straight is. There are a few interesting holes, and the back nine is more difficult than the opening nine. Chatting to locals the course though popular is not rated very highly with most saying that la Finca a few KM's away is much more interesting though obviously more expensive. I paid 58 euros for a round in early March, and this is one of the cheaper courses. At these prices it pays to research the courses before you go and maybe play less but play better. I overall considered this to be an average course but with a premium price that was only justified by its Spanish location. Excellent practise facilities and clubhouse though.
