Is a field that helps the player to escape the day to day and can enjoy the mild climate of the area, which is quite nice for playing golf.

golf course

The field of Mondariz Golf Resort was opened in 2000, has 18 holes, par 71, with a length of 5,507 meters . The course is not long, unless you play with white or bad weather, being accessible to all players in normal conditions. Yes, it is versatile enough to apply more or less harsh conditions if any required competition. The times I played there I could see the state of the turf course is very good, providing the player playing golf.

Mondariz Golf Resort supports subscribers and casual players . Has received some national circuit tournaments golf professionals in the past, which gives an idea of its versatility and potential. This is a playing field that can walk perfectly, it’s more I will recommend it to enjoy it fully. If it’s hot, I prefer to do in buggy or at least electric car, since in some areas in the days I will pull the sun in summer, it is something hard to play.
We are in Mondariz Golf Resort with holes of various types, not being a very demanding course with precision in most tee shots, but something more on the approaches to green. The greens are fine, those that allow the ball to roll without rare changes in speed or direction and highlighted, sobe all, its large surface area. In some holes the greens are up to 40-50 meters long, which forces you to be alert at all times to the flag position to strike the right club in the shot to the flag.

My favorite street is number 4, you can see in the picture below. For me it is one of the most beautiful places I jugado.He to warn that we must be there to see and also hear the water of the river that runs parallel to the right side of the hole is a joy! In this area of the field is a wonder the sound of water from the river, that accompanies you from the third hole to the exit of the seventh, making the golfer’s experience is as pleasant.

The 2 blocks more headaches that I have given are always the 9 and 18. Without a doubt, are a couple of holes that give excitement to any return to play on this tour (watch if you’re betting with your friends in this field, lest you declare victory too soon). By the way, I mention these holes, the view from the terrace of the clubhouse on them are great, it is a pleasure to sit there like a drink before or after leaving the field.
