A great course that is simply stunning to play. Setting off on the first tee at about 8am with the sun just rising over the mountains and you'll forget that you're there to play golf.
Once you have started though, you will find an interesting and challenging front 9 that undulates across a small valley with some water that is easier to find than you'd think. On the plus side, whilst you're looking for your ball you'll see the turtles taking cover.
Once on the back 9 the course opens out and becomes a little more forgiving with any wayward drives easily found and can be played.
On the downside it is pretty pricy which is more down to the location I think but it is worth it. Although in the middle of summer in Spain parts of the course were actually quite boggy but this is probably due to the early start and the fact it is watered all night. Another minor irritation was that there always seemed to be greenkeepers cutting the grass but they are quite patient and will wait while you play your shots.
All in all it is a great course, which I played 3 times in a two week holiday and there were a lot of courses around we could have played instead.
The facilities were excellent with a good bar and restaurant that looks out over a fantastic 18th hole. The changing rooms are also great and the helper man who takes your clubs to the reception is a nice touch and quite helpful.
If you're in the area I would definitely recommend you try it out.
