El Rompido North course is a brand new course opened this year. Winding through the protected salt marsh area the El Rompido - North course is a superbly designed test of golf. With a varied range of hole styles the course has a test in store for players of all standards. The front nine features a run of holes with very tight drives- a typical "risk and reward" opening 9; while the back 9 is shorter, but demands greater accuracy from the fairway into small target greens which are of a consistently high standard.

Islantilla Islantilla hosted the 1995
Turespana Masters (won by Alex Cejka) and is simply top class. Some people
feel that recent housing construction at the 27-hole complex has spoilt this
great course, but we disagree. It offers a variety of holes from pine tree-lined
fairways to cliff top stretches with views across the coast. The layout is
cleverly designed and the course is immaculately maintained, with some of
the finest greens you'll ever play on. We still thoroughly enjoy our day here
and we think you will too, especially with green fees from only £34 - excellent
value for a course of such quality.

Isla Canela If you like your courses to have
plenty of water hazards, you'll like Isla Canela. It's built on a flat piece
of salt marshland and, as you would expect, has water everywhere. It's similar
to playing on a Florida course. The greens are generally large but are well
protected by bunkers so accurate play is required. The course is easy to walk,
affordable and offers an enjoyable round of golf for players of all abilities.
There's a very good clubhouse too.

Nuevo Portil 8 miles along the coast from
Huelva, Nuevo Portil is a pretty parkland course set among many different
kinds of pine and olive trees. You'll need to employ a good range of shots
to score well as the holes are very varied. Tiered greens make accurate approach
shots absolutely vital. Modest in length, Nuevo Portil offers a pleasant walk
that isn't too tiring and a good test of golf for all levels of player.
