Gloria Golf Club

Played the Old course three times and the New course twice. Would recommend both courses, but the easiest is the New course. From the time you arrive the staff are there to help. The level of customer care makes the UK care almost non existent. After checking in for your tee-time, there is a large shop, a wee bit pricey, but it is on a course and is a holiday destination. There is an excellent bar and even better patio area surrounded on three sides by a very 'fishy' pond. Food is good and reasonably priced, beer is good and cool and again the staff are most helpful. There is no pressure on the courses once you are underway, but as it is a resort course you should really expect 4.5 to 5 hours for a round. We were lucky in just under the 4.5 for all 5 rounds (and the Old course is a 'looonnng' walk).

The practice areas are, exceptional. Chipping (large) area in front of the clubhouse, putting green to the side. Two level driving range. Three more chipping greens on the way to the Old course and another putting green.

Other comments (Trip Advisor) have said the greens are woeful and the rounds are slow - I think this may depend on when you go, as to whether it is peak time or not. I must say that in early March, it is a delight to go there and play - Hotel recommendation would be the Gloria Verde, but go all-inclusive.
