Golf

PGA Centenary

  • Venue of the Ryder Cup 2014. The last open course and designed by Jack Nicklaus, who said that for this construction they gave him one of the best land to create a golf course in his entire career. It has the typical Nicklaus touches: par 3 are difficult, par 5 varied with chances to get there and par 4 that can be reached on the green with the drive, and some of which are difficult to reach in two. Greens with a lot of movement and very good speed.

King’s Course

It offers challenge, good panoramic views and a lot of design variety. This course is recognized by all as the best of the three, with a very creative design, many blind shots, greens very difficult to read and a great finish.

Queen’s Course

Queen’s Course

The easiest of the three, since it is more frank, has fewer blind shots and is much shorter than the other two. The terrain is similar to King’s and it has many very picturesque holes and its green areas are very complicated. As in King's, on the 10th tee the 11th bar is telephoned and the menu is ordered.
