El Valle Golf Resort
An immaculate 18 hole golf course set up perfectly and nicknamed the “Tournament Course”, The Par 71 course, is designed by one of the greatest Jack Nicklaus players of all time. It feels like you are teeing up on a golf course in Arizona, with its desert attributes. This is unquestionably a quality course. Different types of grass were used on greens and fairways in order to maintain the best quality terrain on the course. The bunkers with their sharp edges are Punishing and expertly placed.
All of the Nicklaus trail golf courses have noteworthy holes, El Valle can boast several 2 of the best being the 8th with a mountain backdrop.
The golf course is routed in a ‘core’ format that gathers several holes together while keeping the neighbouring development at the perimeter. This means that many holes border other golf holes and not residences, creating a more open and natural golfing experience. Instead of length, the course relies on multiple subtle strategic elements to challenge golfers.
The generally flat terrain makes El Valle a fairly easy walk, while the pure white sand, lakes and palm trees make the course truly glorious.
A pleasurable and generous resort course, El Valle is well worth a visit as part of your next South East Spain golfing holiday.
