2.5 Amazing that this has a higher review rating than the likes of Rio Real and Santa Maria - clearly our group must look for different things to others! In our opinion, this course is a million miles apart from the likes of Rio Real - and not in a good way!
Generally a very tight course, keep the driver in the car. The greens were rock hard and unreceptive when we played them, which doesn't bode well when most greens are protected at the front by bunkers and the bump and run option can't be used. Ridiculously hilly in parts - 6 & 8 particularly. The 12th is one of the daftest par 5s ever when you don't know where you're going - drive to dog leg right 2nd shot and dog leg left 3rd!
The 3rd hole is the signature hole and is visually stunning - though in reality when you play it is a bit of a Mickey Mouse hole.
On the positives, it's a cheap course to play which will bring the cost of your trip down - but personally, I'd part with a few more euros to play somewhere else, or go play Lauro which is a far better course for similar money!
General consensus of our group, handicaps ranging from 4 to 20 - NEVER AGAIN!

3.75 Great fun! Got something for everyone. The 3rd is like nothing I've ever played before. Shame about the problems with the wild boar and the fairways but only a minor critisism. Cheap & cheerful and the staff are nice & friendly. Spectacular views of the Costa Del Sol and Africa. Give it a try, you will have a lot of fun! Oh, and a buggy is A MUST!!!!

3.75 Newish course but a gem, hilly but not on the side of a mountain, very good water holes, the back 9 is the best, well worth a visit.

4 Played this course on the Friday of our golf week, great course with some fantastic holes, several very tight driving holes which if you take on the drive your rewarded. Quite a hilly course so a buggy is recommended, great views of Gibraltar and the North Africa coast. Would definately play it again.
