Review's of Almenara Hotel
Clubhouse/Hospitality
Quality of Course
Practice Facilities
Value for Money
A great deal at the price we paid!
As Ed has said below, the fairways were in poor condition, and the bunkers resembled mud holes in most cases, that said they had had a week of rain the previous week, and with the course being on hills, naturally the water/rain had caused problems. The greens were good, very fast. On one green the balls were speeding up when putting up hill!!
I enjoyed all 3 courses but as can be seen from the scores everyone struggled (in our group we had handicaps ranging from 28 (should have been 128) down to 7, but the highest legitimate Stableford score was 27.
Eds tip of “using the local contours of the course your ball will go a long way” actually means miss-hit your T shot 50 yards on to the cart path and watch it roll 150 yards down the hill and onto the fairway or similar as many times as possible!! ;-)
I didn’t use a buggy, choosing to walk and carry, which by day 3 was telling. Even with a buggy unless your pretty fit you may struggle as you can only use the carts on the cart paths.
The resort is great, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, Ice bath was 10 Euros per visit but well worth it. Evening meal top quality buffet 25 Euros including a beer or wine.
I would jump at the chance to go back!!
Ed…........Did I mention “the cart path” enough? I think you forgot ;-)
