Don't
be fooled into writing it off because it is a short course,
it is certainly not a pitch and putt and there are plenty
of challenges to be encountered: five holes affected by water
and others require very accurate hitting.
Opened
in December 1994 Los Palos was designed by Jose Maria Olazabal's
company, Integral Golf Design, and is located in an easily
accessible area not far off the main Santa Cruz highway. The
course has a slight incline and situated amidst banana trees,
it is the perfect place to spend a couple of hours on a round
of golf, or become familiar with the game.

Instruction
is one of Los Palos' strong points and the club aims to overcome
the all too common problems associated with finding a golf
teacher, hiring clubs etc. There is a PGA professional, driving
range, chipping area and putting green where individual and
group classes are given in various languages.
From the
terrace of the
|
|
clubhouse
the golf course dominates the view. The atmosphere is relaxing
and housed within are a restaurant, golf shop, changing rooms
and showers. There is a children's play area which leaves
parents free to play a worry-free round of golf. Los Palos
is the prefect golf facility for those wishing to golf for
an hour or so. Businessmen, pressed for time and unable to
get in a full round elsewhere relax here and mingle with families
whose children are taking their first steps in the world of
golf.
