Hacienda del Alamo
The first Hacienda del Alamo golf course is masterly, thanks to the painstaking work of Dave Thomas, who had all the land he could want to design it, with this idea in mind: There are no limits. That is to say, first we made the dream field, with no restrictions on space, as if nothing else existed. And then, we used the same criteria with the houses: just enough of them so that the resort would have plenty of breathing room with broad open spaces. For this reason, our first golf course is one of the best in Europe and is is no less than 92 hectares. It is wide, with long holes, spacious, and with many lakes. It is very soft, because it is built on natural terrain. Their new clubhouse just opened in Febuary 2008 and is a wonderful asset to this great course. The practice facilities are probably the best here in Spain, as is everything they do at this development. This is a long championship course with elevated greens, that are protected by bunkers as you hit your approach shot. The course is always kept to the highest standard and is a credit to the green keeping staff.
