WHY DO WE NAME THE HOLES?

Throughout 30 years, La Marquesa Golf, has suffered an infinite number of changes to the course, to the point that the same players and employees to understand what hole it was was a very complicated mission, in this way and for this main reason the idea of assigning a name to each hole was born.

No doubt, each assigned name has its meaning and why…

There is no doubt, of the rather short holes that can be complicated, the out of bounds on the right and a water hazard on the left.

Spectacular par 3, it has always had “its dry lake”, only in heavy rains could its sheet of water shine and due to leaks for a short time. Recently (2.019) it has been rebuilt with plastic sheet and at the request of Jesús Quesada a geyser is installed in the center that at its maximum pressure the height can reach 14 meters of altitude, for a novelty it will be easy to relate this hole with its name, El Geyser.

PAR 3

HCP:14

HOW TO PLAY:

Complicated par 3, the high tee makes it difficult to choose the club, having to calculate 10% more distance, since the tee is protected between a mountain and trees, it makes it uncomfortable to perceive the direction and intensity of the wind with added difficulty , penalty area to the left, out of bounds to the right, a green in the shape of a “face down plate” making the recovery shot difficult, perhaps for a player the HCP assigned to this hole is not appropriate

PAR 4

HCP:4

HOW TO PLAY:

Demanding par 4, similar characteristics to the previous hole, having options to finish on a green of 2, due to its length and green in the shape of a volcano, will depend on hitting 2 shots with good height, especially good and precise. As the green is high, in case of failure, the bounce of the ball will remarkably move away, leaving a practically blind approach with the difficulty of correctly calculating the intensity of the blow. Original green with drops based on the shape of a “bicycle saddle”. Each of the falls at 2% unevenness.

PAR 4

HCP:16

HOW TO PLAY:

Very short par 4, but well defended on the left by an estuary and 2 bunkers, on the right a thick rauf and out of bounds, playing a 2nd full shot from the fairway can be interesting, wide green with very shallow depth, hitting a Fantastic Driver leaving the ball very close to the green may not have the advantage you expect.

This par 3 hole needs no introduction, the moment it reaches the tee it reveals the evidence of its name, the jewel in the crown. Sawgrass.

PAR 3

HCP:9

Be positive by isolating yourself from the water, you will have a 10% margin of error in any of its variants. Think, since it is a relatively short stroke, the effects decrease, which is why a good contact with the ball is essential. In case of playing it with wind depending on the intensity and direction you will need knowledge and experience to calculate the best option of club and alignment, being able to turn the disadvantage into a virtue.

PAR 3

HCP:11

HOW TO PLAY:

Possibly overshadowed by the popularity of the previous hole and being 2 par 3s in a row, being able to go unfairly unnoticed as a great par 3, if in doubt, due to its ideal distance, slightly high tee with a view of the full shot, green design in the shape of boomerang with an infinite number of flag positions, hampered by a penalty area from the left blind from the tee and 4 Bunkers, conclusion, excellent par 3.

During the last 6 years until today, it is the only Green on the route with a repeating flag, in this case wearing the Spanish flag. It was easy to assign your name. Spain.

PAR 5

HCP:12

HOW TO PLAY:

After the difficulty of the last holes with the accumulated tension, this hole would fit a little respite, being the shortest par 5 of the course. Its main difficulty, the penalty area on the right and the front estuary 50 meters from the green, if you have a good distance you will have options of taking 2 green and if it is not advisable to bring the second shot as close to the estuary as possible, since the elongated green defended by 5 Bunkers being far from the green would make it difficult.
