Almenara Golf Club

Yet again a very hilly course - not all of us are mountain goats -

The hotel has 27 holes comprising a 3 distinct 9’s, sadly never got to play one of the loops this year but Pinos and Lagos still deliver a great experience. Beware the greens, when we were there, it was like putting on glass, very slick, a great test.

This is a very nice Golf course in very good condition a bit more expensive than others we played but still good value.Very scenic with some challenging holes and very fast greens. Staff were very helpful and friendly,would definitely play it again.

We had one very slow round- 5.5 hrs but the others were around 4 which is average. Some very challenging sloping fairways to make tee shots tricky and a couple of interesting short holes teeing off over edge of hill down onto green.

A buggy is essential due to many changes in elevation on all 3 nine hole loops. Tee areas are in poor condition and devoid of maintenance. Some spectacular holes with great views. Take lots of lake balls!

A surprisingly tough course with some tricky approaches to the greens and few level lies. The only big criticism is that after all the heavy rain in the previous week we saw no maintenance work on the bunkers which played like Blackpool beach at low tide:smooth, hard and wet. But many nice holes in the 3 loops.

Played two of the 3 nines available. Course in good condition. Some lively views.

This course is made up of three 9 hole courses , the two we played where immaculate ,fairways and greens, for our party this was the best course, we all come off smiling , the club house and courses layout spot on with staff and a good feel factor,it is not used very much as we where told we could go out half an hour early

We played Four rounds of Golf at Almenara, encompassing the three nine hole courses, which made a nice change because on the last two visits one of the courses was closed, annoyingly the same course both times. This was not the fault of the hotel as they proved to me that the agency I used on both those occasions had been informed of the closure but did not inform me, I would advise that anyone contemplating playing here emails the Pro shop first about closures. All three courses were in excellent condition and the greens were superb. It is noticeable that the green staff always stop what they are doing if they think they are encroaching on your game.

Excellent, they will enjoy.

Enjoyable but make sure you have a buggy

Don't try and chip from 30 yards on to greens as it was over watered (front 9), book a buggy!

My tips for playing Almenara would be play more short chips with a 8 or 9 iron on the front 9 to avoid burying a wedge

A buggy is a must, it would be hard going on foot.

If it was hot and you didn't have your A game you might feel it was never ending.

Overall most enjoyable.
