Santana Golf Course Guide
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Grahame Simpson asked:
Santana Golf Course is a beautiful course where you will not see a house or a car for the the full 18 holes.
Santana Golf Course front 9 holes.
Hole 1: Straight forward hole to start with. Slightly up hill par 4 where a tee shot down the middle is fine. There are a couple of bunkers protecting the Green.
Hole 2: Par 3 160 meters with bunkers and some water protecting the green
Hole 3: The tee is elevated and the fairway slopes slightly right to left. There is a fairway bunker to avoid from tee off and the green is undulating.
Hole 4: A beautiful par 5 hole where the layout of the hole makes for some interesting golf shots. Fairway bunkers, stream before you reach the green and bunkers around the green.
Hole 5: It is best to play straight and short of the bunkers before the green. The green is protected by two more bunkers and is tiered making club selection important and putting tricky.
Hole 6: It is a dogleg to the left where a good tee shot can carry the mound and cut the corner leaving a easier chip to the green. Bunkers protect the fairway and green and the green is contoured.
Hole 7: 192 meters par 3 has the river (sometimes dry bed) to the right side and a bunker by the green.
Hole 8: This is the longest hole at Santana. Par 5 602 meters slight dogleg to the right. Tee shot and second shot are in the perfect position middle to left of the fairway. The green has three bunkers protecting it.
Hole 9: This is a par 4 uphill where middle of the fairway is perfect.
Please visit Santana Golf Course Guide for the back 9 holes.

Golf Courses And Driving Ranges
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Rob Carlton asked:
Before a game of golf, many people practice first in order to be able to play their best during the game. Driving ranges are open fields complete with yard markers that tell golfers how far they have hit the ball. After paying for a bucket of gold balls, golfers use their own clubs to practice specific strokes and techniques that they may struggle with on the course. Those who enjoy golf will visit a driving range once or twice a week depending on their time and skill level in order to improve their game.
Driving ranges are easy to find and most gold clubs have them. If you are new to the game of golf, you should practice first in order to improve in areas where you are lacking. Using different clubs and practicing different swing methods, your game will improve over time. You can also hire a trainer that will give you tips and advice on improving your game. Once you feel you are ready to play an entire game of golf, you can feel confident knowing that you will be prepared for whatever happens on the course.
Because every golfer has a weakness or two when it comes to executing the perfect shot each time, practicing can help golfers reduce their slice, lengthen their range, and learn how to become more comfortable with different clubs. When practicing on the driving range, you should try to use each club at least once. This will give you a better idea about which clubs are the best and worst to work with. Driving ranges are open every day of the week, so you will have plenty of time to work on your game.
Golf has become more popular over the years because it is a challenging game that most people can play. If you are able to practice often, you will notice your control over your clubs and the ball will become greater. Take your time to perfect your swing when visiting the driving range. Use this practice ground to try new methods, improve older ones, and watch more experienced golfers. You will learn something new each time you visit the driving range.
If you don’t feel comfortable visiting a driving range yourself, ask a friend who enjoys golf. You can work together to improve your game and feel more comfortable on golf courses. Attending local matches will also help when you are trying to become a better golfer.

Rio Real Golf Course Guide
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Grahame Simpson asked:
Rio Real Golf Course is a beautiful course named after the river real which meanders through the course.
Rio Real Golf Course front 9 holes.
Hole 1: A straight hole to start and not to long at 312 meters. The green has a bunker left and right.
Hole 2: Another straight hole however the second shot needs to be accurate as there are three bunkers surrounding the green.
Hole 3: A short par 3 with the river in front and two bunkers either side of the green.
Hole 4: Slight dog leg to the left so middle to left is the path for the tee shots again the green is well protected by sand before the real sand and sea start.
Hole 5: The river is on the right side and the view to the green is obscured by the hill up to it.
Hole 6: The river runs to the left and out of bounds is to the right of this par 3.
Hole 7: This is a par 5 up hill. The fairway is generous and the green has two bunkers protected a tricky putting green.
Hole 8: A dogleg to the left where the tee shot should be middle to left. There are two bunkers on the right side and trees all down this side.
Hole 9: A straight forward par 4 hole where an accurate approach shot is needed as again the green has three protecting bunkers.

Les Cascades Golf Course Soma Bay Egypt
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Ian SG Smith asked:
Les Cascades Golf Course Soma Bay is a most beautiful championship golf course designed by Gary Player and is the first course on the Western Red Sea coast as well as the first championship course in the Middle East designed by one of the ‘Big Three’ (Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus).
The course has been described by Gary Player as the ‘next Pebble Beach’ and ranked amongst the 20 top golf courses in the world by readers of ‘Golf Journal’.
If you want to play golf in Egypt this course is not to be missed.
I stayed at La Residence des Cascades in Soma Bay in Egypt, and played the Cascades Course.
It is a unique experience to play a desert course with an ocean backdrop, and it is truly breathtaking.
Whilst it is a true Championship course, we as a family were able to play without handicap evidence as residents of the fabulous ‘La Residence Des Cascades Hotel, staying in July, which is low season with only 10% occupancy.
As there are four different tee positions on every hole, the course works very well for players of all abilities, and there are views to die for on every hole. The contrasts between the lush well watered fairways and greens, and the desert sand where you would expect to find rough are just a beginning. When you follow this up with the turquoise and blue Red Sea, plus the distant mountains you could indeed think you were in paradise - for you are.
Indeed I even rang work colleagues and friends who were all at work to gloat in the middle of my round!!!
There was no danger of disturbing fellow players as there were only 3 other playing groups on the course, possibly because the temperature was somewhere over 40 degrees centigrade!!
It must be said the complimentary carts, the quite stiff breeze, and the ‘watering holes’ on the course did much to alleviate that!!
To look at photographs go to http://www.worldwidevacationspots.com/articles/7/1/Cascades-Course-Soma-Bay-Egypt/Page1.html
I’ve played resort courses all over the world, and have had to produce evidence of handicap, and then seen fellow golfers hacking there way round - no golf snobbery here - just a lovely beautifully maintained course, green staff with immaculate manners - it was a real treat.
It is no wonder that The Cascades Golf Course Soma Bay is often described as one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. The high quality of its hotel - La Residence des Cascades makes this a trip worth making.
