This new sister course to Quinta de Ria is of a championship character that will offer an enjoyable challenge for most players. From the rolling land planted with almond trees it provides open fairways, well-arranged bunkers and enough water to draw in the odd misdirected golf ball. The 1st two holes indicate the real nature on the course emphasizing the requirement for good club selection coupled with accuracy. Players are making their remarks concerning the tricky Par 5 16th hole and the significant eighteenth.
A stream with dams and stable water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. The Golf Course is surrounded to the north with the national road and spreads towards the South where its limits are municipal roads that ends up in Quinta de Ria.
The greens have been seeded with Bent Crenshaw. Tees and fairways are covered with Zoysia among the Driving Ranges which consists of generous dimensions and were built in the South/North direction, when hitting from the northern tees, it's possible to appreciate the breathtaking view from the mountains along with the Ocean.
