The tree lined fairways have many natural hazards as well as lakes and bunkers , making this a tough but rewarding 18 holes. Because you are in Galicia there is no starting your rounds a 5am to avoid the searing heat of the south and none of the queues either , just perfect hot sunny days through the summer and mild for the rest of the year. When you are done , relax in the club house and enjoy a glass of Albarino wine while soaking up the amazing views.
