Villamartin
Campoamor
Las Ramblas
La Finca

No probs fella, not sure if I will be playing them all, the wife says something about it being a family holiday not a golfing one, women hey you can't beat them, shame.

Villamartin - Good track, we play this all the time when we are over there. A good challenge but thoroughly enjoyable.

Campoamor - The last 2 times I have played it, it was in horrific condition and some holes were closed!! I wouldn't go back.

Las Ramblas - Hilly!!!! A very tough track but worth a go, it's the sister course to Campoamor.

La Finca - Long, tough, very good course.

Others to play along that neck of the woods is Hacienda De Alamo - awesome course!

Roda - Quite new and looking better all the time.

Just an update, only got one round in abroad and that was on La Serena which was a total nightmare, water in action on 16 holes and its a very long track in the summer heat, it was pretty cheap though. My best advice is to visit a shop called international golf in caba rogo, you can get cheaper rates there. One thing I noticed in Spain was the price of clubs and balls a 12 box of NXT, big bertha and the rest where 40 euros and ther cost og clubs about an extra 20-30% more expensive than here.

I did visit La Finca for a drink over looking the first, because its in a bowl there isnt much breeze so can get ver very hot and a buggy is a must, but it did look beautiful.

Parmo,

Many thanks m8.

I have booked La Finca and Las Ramblas so far.

Still undecided on where else to go.

Cheers again.

Andy.

de nada, Roda further south looks very nice and I heard that Villamartin has been brought up to standard.
