The golf course at Parque Deportivo La Garza, in Linares (Jaén), has been a great success in the Andalucía Golf Challenge Destination PGA Riviera Maya by Bahía Principe.
With tee times at 8:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., participants enjoyed a splendid day of golf enhanced by magnificent weather, sunny and pleasant temperatures, and excellent conditions on the course.
The fairways were simply perfect, and the greens were excellent in appearance and speed.
It is worth mentioning that the course has different tees for the first and second rounds, so that each hole is played differently. For example, the 1st is a par 5 for the first round and a par 4 for the second.
The players who did not know the course were very pleasantly impressed and are sure to come back.
The Parque Deportivo La Garza course is without a doubt a highly recommended stop for those golfers who want to travel by car between the center or north and south of Spain, as it is very close to Bailén.
After the competition, a splendid cocktail was served by the club’s catering manager, José María López, whose restaurant has an excellent assortment and really popular prices, like all those in this fabulous public sports park managed by the Junta de Andalucía.
There was an important raffle of gifts, reinforced with contributions from Parque Deportivo La Garza, which also contributed to the welcome packs with a Callaway cap. For example, bottles of Hacienda El Palo virgin olive oil, Bridgestone Tiger Woods balls and thermos, belt and glove kits were raffled.
The Sports Park where the golf course is integrated has a very complete offer of leisure and sports, with facilities for soccer, tennis and swimming pools, among others, and many activities for children.
It also offers accommodation in wooden bungalows perfectly equipped for stays in a spectacular natural environment, and only five minutes from the city of Linares.
