I have always wandered how somebody could rate somewhere as terrible when others were gushing about it well now i know! Firstly i have no comment on the hotel or apartments as i never stayed there. My comments relate to the golf course only. I have been travelling to the costa del sol to play golf with friends for 11 years and this is by far the worst i have ever played. The only reason we chose it was it had previously held the Andalucian Open!!!!!! The course layout is ok but the condition leaves a lot to be desired. Fairways covered in sand and patchy, course maintenance generally poor and pace of play sower than a slow thing. Not a ranger or a greenkeeper in site! One tee on a par three was like playing from a bunker and a number of the other tees were on the fairway, which no one mentioned before we went out. This course is obviously over played and they can not cope with that. There are hundreds of golf courses on the Costa del golf and this is one that should be avioided at all cost. Do not dismiss this review out of hand as you will be disapointed spend your money elsewhere. By the way the planes overhead are constant throughout the day, however, that is obvious as it is near the airport doh!!! If you have booked this place for golf change it for another, choose from reo real, la cala, calanova, santa clara, esmerelda, los naranjos, which are all nearby and excellent.
