The Hacienda Alcaidesa Links tournament once again hung out the sold-out sign at a new stage of the SAN MIGUEL XVI CIRCUITO ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE COSTA DEL SOL DESTINO REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA BY GLOBALIA. This Andalucía Golf Challenge event was played on one of the finest courses on the Costa del Sol, with many golfers who, unfortunately, could not join despite having tried.
Hacienda Alcaidesa Links hosts a new stage of the Andalucía Golf Challenge
The Hacienda Alcaidesa Links layout was the setting for a new stage of the SAN MIGUEL XVI CIRCUITO ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE COSTA DEL SOL DESTINO REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA BY GLOBALIA, which once again recorded a full house and left many golfers wanting more, unable to enjoy this magnificent resort.
The day was played in genuine Links conditions, with winds that at times blew hard. Even so, the weather did not prevent good scores from being posted on the demanding and spectacular Hacienda Alcaidesa Links course.
Links conditions and wind take centre stage
True to its character, Hacienda Alcaidesa Links tested players with a design exposed to the wind, where strategy and ball control proved decisive. The good atmosphere lasted throughout the day, with golfers enjoying both the competition and the surroundings.
Refreshments were served at the Calma bar, located on the 10th tee, a spot with exceptional views, open even at night and with direct access for non-players. The wonderful cocktail reception before the prize-giving was provided by SAL VERDE, part of Grupo Azotea, whose professionalism showed in every detail and which rounds off its culinary offering with a beach club that is far more than your typical chiringuito.
Special prizes on the five par 3s
The Hacienda Alcaidesa Links tournament handed out special prizes on the course’s five par 3s, including invitations from the Latte Lagoon and Arrozante restaurants. In addition, all the prizewinners received a clothing gift from the Fairway + Blue golf boutique and wines from Grupo La Navarra.
Among the prize draw gifts, one stood out as very special: the book SMART GOLF, by Jésica Reyes, which helps golfers improve their game through proper physical preparation.
