Flamingos

Flamingos Golf is the original layout at the resort, and measures 6,248 yards. The par-71 course was designed by Antonio Garrido, formerly a prominent European Tour player and now an established architect. The fairways are lined by a beautiful variety of trees, while visiting golfers will no doubt enjoy the stunning views over the Mediterranean Sea. The greens are large and undulating throughout, but the front nine is certainly the toughest, where the narrow fairways demand good accuracy and control.

Alferini

Opened in October 2007, Alferini is an outstanding par-73 that insiders believe will surpass the original Flamingos layout, and will underline the resort's internationally renowned status. Measuring 7,260 yards from the back tees this course will be more than a match for the big hitters while not unplayable for others thanks to multiple sets of tees. Like the other golf courses situated on the Flamingos resort, Alferini offers breathtaking views thanks to its location in a beautiful valley, away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Although this course is reasonably long it would be described as many as a technical layout. Two lakes and a stream place an emphasis on precision rather than power and club selection will have to be spot on in order to safely negotiate the subtle elevation changes.

Tramores

Tramores is the shortest of the 3 Antonio Garcia Garrido courses in the area, measuring just 3,792 yards from the tips. Although the course is very short by modern standards, its par of 63 makes it somewhat of a challenge. Because of its technical layout it will favour the accurate rather than the bold. The longer hitters however, will still get the odd opportunity to ‘give it a ride’ with the driver. This course is ideal for parents with children or those just starting out in the game, as well as more experienced players who are pushed for time or just looking for a more relaxing golfing experience. There is also an American Golf Academy which provides premium practice facilities in which to get a lesson or just hit some balls.
