Good point but there's only one shower for four blokes (and your missus doesn't take that long in the shower - I thought she was pretty quick) :D

One shower, four blokes - for god sake don't drop the soap :D

Must have been her sister....my wife isn't quick at anything :)
 
I'll be playing all of those courses myself in August when I go. Not sure if you've played them before but they are all nice courses....Santana is easily the best...if you wnat to chill out after your game at LaCala I can also recommend use of the spa...you can sometimes get a discount if you've played golf on the same day.

We have played them on previous trips including a few others ... Los Naranjos, Santa Maria etc. I agree about Santana, that's why we're starting & finishing with it - beautifully prepared course, like playing on green velvet. El Chap easily the toughest - walked it last time and it nearly killed me!
Ta for the tip about the spa, sounds like a plan.
 
I'm seriously jealous, sounds like a brilliant holiday.

Roughly how much are tee times to courses like that in Spain? Been trying to plan a golf holiday myself and was thinking portugal but golf seems bloody expensive over there.

Depends when you go, July/August is the cheapest...LaCala is 90 euros for 2 people including a buggy, there prices haven't gone up for a few years now. El Chapparal is a bit dearer & Santana is about 60 euros each...pricey but well worth treating yourself.
 
Santana twice plus the other two once is costing us €214 each including buggies throughout. First time we did this that would have been about £150 but a few more pounds these days ..
