Golf course review of Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club

Due to play in June 2012, we have been told that this course is no closed. Uncertain as to the future of the club, if it will be purchased by someone else or not, hope so as it is the best golf course I have played.

Golf course review of Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club

WOW what a spectacular course, it absolutely poured down for the first 4 holes and rain on off for the rest of the round.....holes 4 + 6 are outstanding, 8 - 16 are almost as amazing but not as many things to think about....

If you hit the ball straight you make things much easier, anything more than 4 or 5 yards off the fairway and you can forget having anything other that a chip back onto the fairway. Lateral water hazards om a lot of holes to spped up play otherwise some would be hitting provisional after provisional from the tee.

You need to practice you putting here as the greens are some of the best ive ever seen - none are flat, in superb condition - with wicked run off areas + slopes if you are too agressive with the approach.

I scored 31 off 14 which was the winning score of our group of 6 (lowest 19 points - with two 28 hcprs in the group) brearing in mind the conditions there are good scores out there IF you hit straight and read the putts well.

We finished our round at 7.45 pm and the club house + pro shop were closed!! - no food or drinks available which was incredibly dissapointing - there was no-one there to advise us of the nearest place to get anything!

If you are in Spain you must play this course......

Golf course review of Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club

Fabulous absolutely Fabulous - BUT not for the faint hearted!
This is one of rare courses that is both pleasing to the eye and a joy to play - That is, if you are ON FORM. Very accurate driving is required, some say this target golf and they are not wrong.
Visit, relax (swing easy) and enjoy.
