Palmares Golf Course Review

by the Course Professional(s)

Hole	Professional Tips
1	Starting from an elevated tee with a dogleg to the right. The ball must finish on the left-hand side of the fairway to have a clear view for the shot to the green.
2	This is the 1st of the five Link holes. Keep your drive in play and you could be rewarded with a birdie.
3	Your drive must be accurate to avoid finishing in sand on either side of the fairway.
4	A charming par 3 demanding a solid tee shot to hold the green, well protected by bunkers.
5	The longest and most demanding hole on the course. The tee almost adjoins the beach with sand on either side of the fairway. Three well-hit shots are required to reach the saucer shaped green.
6	This is the last of the Link holes. A par 4, which tracks 90 degrees round the edge of a hazard. The green can be driven but it is a very bold shot, with the possibility of going through the green into a bunker or even out of bounds.
7	The tee shot should be up the left-hand side of the fairway to avoid trouble on the right. A testing par 5 with green side bunkers protecting the wayward shot.
8	This delightful par3 is one of the best Birdie opportunities.
9	Plays from an elevated tee uphill to an elevated two-tier green. The tee shot must be placed on the right-hand side of the fairway, otherwise your approach shot will be completely blocked.
10	A beautiful par 3 played from an elevated tee to an elevated green across a deep depression. A very memorable hole.
11	An easy hole playing uphill to a sloping well protected green. Care should be taken from the tee.
12	A difficult hole played from an elevated tee with trees on both sides of the fairway to an elevated two tier green.
13	A testing par 4 played from an elevated tee, a good tee shot is required to allow a medium iron to a guarded green.
14	Slightly dog legging to the right with the green guarded by bunkers on both sides.
15	A very long par 3. This holes requires your full concentration to keep the tee shot safely on the green.
16	Toughest par 4 on the course, playing uphill with a slight dogleg to the right.
17	This is perhaps the most scenic hole of the course. It isn’t an overly demanding par 5 and is a possible birdie hole.
18	A testing uphill par 4 with out of bounds on the left-hand side and a two tiered green with sand traps on both sides.
