The Almerimar golf
course is the oldest course in the province of
Almerķa. It was built in 1976 and forms part of a
complex which includes two four-star hotels,
apartments, other sports facilities and a yachting
marina.
The course was
designed by Rob Kirby and Gary Player, and consists
of 18 holes with a par of 72, and features wide
fairways flanked by leafy trees, which not only
provide pleasant shade in summer but also make it
considerably more difficult to reach the flag.
The greens are wide
and fast, and protected by huge bunkers. A large
number of the holes are affected by water hazards
which obstruct access to the greens. The par-3 12th
requires a spectacular shot to carry the ball 100
metres over the water to reach the green, which is
on a small island.
Basically, it is an
appetising round for players of any level. |
