Golf Valle del Este
Almeria » La Envia
La Envía is the most recent 18 hole course to open in the province
of Almería. It is located between El Parador and Enix, very close
to the Almería-Adra highway. The layout has been designed for
players who want to enjoy a pleasant round of golf rather than
one fraught with difficulty and complications. It is not too long
and there is no rough. However some holes do offer up more of a
challenge, for example the 9th, a par four of 377 metres, and the
365 metre 14th amongst others. The par five 4th hole, at first sight,
appears straightforward and two shots should be enough to reach
the approach however a brilliant third is needed if a birdie is to be
secured as the green has been designed in the shape of a volcano.
The 17th and 18th greens are also tricky. La Envía has a spacious
clubhouse which houses an excellent restaurant.

Almeria » Cortijo Grande
Cortijo Grande is located just four kilometres from the sea,
between Turre and Mojacar on the Costa de Almería. The layout
is a Paul Jay Polansky design and opened in 1976. It is a flat course
winding through groves of orange and lemon trees, a constant
reminder, if one is needed, of the southern Mediterranean
climate. The club does not have a clubhouse but the adjacent
Almazara bar and restaurant is an ideal place to unwind and
contemplate the next round of golf.
