Reviews
A slight edge to this course over Iberostar, for all the dumb tourist reasons you’d think - it’s a bit more fun, a bit more leisurely, with the views a bit more what you’d want from a resort course. It’s definitely not in the same shape, in fact one hole was (and apparently always is) closed. But the layout is consistently entertaining, with the potential for really good or really bad depending on how you hit it (my front and back were night and day). Holes 4, 7 and 18 are especially fun.
