I'm a long time golfer with a single figure handicap. I've been holidaying on the Costa del Sol for many years and have played more than 30 different courses here. This channel is to share my experiences of golf in the sunshine to help others who are holidaying or thinking of re-locating here.
Hi mate, just subscribed! We normally go to portugal for our yearly golf trip but next year we might go to spain. This resort has come up as the potential favorite. We are a group of 24 and we do a rydercup style event. Do you reckon this would work at this resort? Anything we need to be aware of? It will be sometime next september
@@TomHacker90 yes it's a good place. There are three 18 hole courses, everyone uses a buggy, a good clubhouse, so it'll be easy and convenient. There are better courses nearby such as Los Lagos (I've done a review of that one) and Santana (played twice but not done a video yet). Weather is reliable in September, we were there then and it was 30C every day. We've just done another week, got back yesterday, and it was still 28-29C, dry and sunny. I filmed 3 more reviews and will edit them over the coming weeks.
@costadelsolgolfer I watched alot of your reviews lastnight. Keep the good work coming and until we have a place booked, il be sure to pop back from time to time to see what videos you have
Thanks. I like to show golfers what they can expect in terms of course layout and the quality of the grass. It would be nice if you could subscribe. I've footage for two more courses, just need to edit it and two more rounds planned for this week.
Three interesting courses at La Cala. Severely undulating, lots of severe downhill drives and many uphill shots to greens. One criticism I have is that the vast majority of the 54 greens are the same, very raised up at the front and high ground behind.
You'll be fine. The best piece of advice I received from a Pro was "only hit it where you can see it!". Hit the fairways and you'll be fine. The trickiest holes are 10 and 15 but now you know what to do. Enjoy!
I played here again this week. Again the greens were excellent and the fairways very good. The fringes of fhe greens however are still in need of some care.
I returned here a few days ago and the putting green was much better. It's clearly been watered and the grass has recovered. The chipping green now needs the same level of care.
