The fantastic Links Course of La Hacienda Links Golf Resort, as expected, dazzled the participants in the antepenultimate event of the SAN MIGUEL ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE ‘Destino República Dominicana by Globalia’.

(PHOTO GALLERY OF THE TOURNAMENT AT THE END OF THE REPORT).

Not surprisingly, the only links course on the Costa del Sol, brilliantly redesigned by the famous American designer Kurtis Bowman, combines an impressive setting by the sea and spectacular views of the Rock of Gibraltar with an unbeatable presentation and maintenance of the course.

As with the vast majority of tournaments on the Tour, now in its fourteenth year, La Hacienda Links was fully booked and sold out in advance.

All players were impressed by the condition of the course, which was praised by most, calling it one of the best courses in Spain.

The Links is a challenging course, with unique views and a course quality on a par with the best courses in Europe. It is made up of wide fairways, fast and perfect greens, strategically placed bunkers and gentle slopes that descend towards the sea, ending in a beautiful beach and creating a front of almost two kilometres. Many of the holes border the beach. The new course is even more open to the sea and offers one of the best views of the entire Costa del Sol over the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Africa, which can be appreciated from all its greens.

In addition to the spectacular course, Sal Verde 's superb catering also contributed to the great success of the tournament. Sal Verde is in charge of the clubhouse restaurant as well as the Calma Bar between the 9th and 10th holes and the Arena Bar on the beach adjacent to the resort. Sal Verde offered the tournament participants a magnificent hole pass in Calma Bar which delighted the players and a splendid cocktail in the clubhouse.

The organisation of the Tour would like to thank the staff of La Hacienda Links Golf Resort, especially its director, Fernando Padrón, for their attentions.
