Signature Hole: Hole 13, Par 5, 458 metres (501 yards), SI 6

Los Arqueros’ 13th deserves its status as signature hole not just for the challenge that it presents, but also for its magnificent scenery of ‘Mare Nostrum’. On clear days, it is even possible to see the coast of Africa and the Atlas Mountain Range. The golf is nothing short of spectacular either, and from an elevated tee the fairway starts off narrow, before it veers off to the right. It is possible to attempt a ‘Seve’ in cutting the corner and going for the green in two. However, this is a dangerous approach and anything to the right of the green will result in a lost ball, while anything short will be swallowed up by the greenside bunker. A fade would suit this approach well, as the left side of the green is guarded by an uphill slope. A stunning golf hole, offering much in the way of risk-reward.

Really difficult course, need to be very straight not to lose a ball. Great experience would like to play it again. The greens had been sanded but were still quick.

A very good course to finish a golf tour. The course design is a little quirky at times with very narrow fairways but overall a course that improves as the course goes on and one that is very suited to a more relaxing final day of golf after a few days of intense golfing holiday.

I liked it, but my drives off the tee are mainly straight so the course suited me more than my partners who were generally longer hitters with mild to strong fades. Some of the holes just weren’t suited to fades, with steep bankings on the left and steep gorges on the right flanking tight fairways. Good for straight hitters though :-) and someone mentioned that it was a typical Seve Ballesteros designed course. It’s a hilly course so, again, buggies were great, with the added benefit of these, unexpectedly, being included in the package. Lovely views from the restaurant. However, the restaurant didn't open until 11am so we couldn't even get a coffee before we played. Not the end of the world, and perhaps it was just early in the season. They were doing work in the restaurant area and it was open when we finished, although fairly crammed as the course emptied when the rain started late on. The group in front of us were really slow, losing three holes to the group in front. We let two two-balls through to move things along, but the first nine took 40 minutes longer than it needed to. We spoke to the Course Marshall at the turn and he asked the group in front to let us thorough after the 10th, which they did.

I say it is a hard course but that is simply because it is so very hilly. Makes it a different challenge! Club selection very different. Very attractive course and YGT was welcomed in the Pro Shop. Nice chap seeing people off on the 1st Tee with lots of helpful advice. We played without a buggy - my preference - but you really know it at the end. Worth playing, good experience.

This is an extremely difficult course to play, but the views were spectacular, the fairways were very well maintained, would certainly play again. On the web site is states evidence of a handicap is required. We had two golfers in front of us who clearly had no handicap as they struggled to even hit the ball, thus they slowed play and made it frustrating at times.
