Hotel Las Madrigueras

We stayed at the Hotel Las Madrigueras and played the adjoining course - Las Americas - every day for 3 weeks. The set-up is superb. You drive your buggy out onto the course to the starter’s hut, where you are met by very friendly, helpful staff.
The first is a par 5 with a slight dogleg to the left. 2 good shots can see you on the green for a birdie. The second doglegs to the right, but keep your tee shot to the left of the hollow. The 3rd is a long par 4. Without a strong drive you have to lay-up before the water. The 4th is a good par 4 up the hill. Beware to make sure you put your 2nd shot up on the green or you could be hitting your 3rd shot from further away than your 2nd. The par 3 5th is an interesting hole over the water. The 6th is a long par 4, which needs 3 shots a to reach the green. The 7th is an interesting par 5 that needs a good drive to the left. The short 8th needs an accurate tee shot. The 9th is an easy hole to reach the green, but then you need to putt well. The back nine starts with a long par 4, which needs 3 shots to reach the green. The short 11th is protected by several bunkers. Water is waiting for you if you hit your tee shot too far right. The 13th has water in front and bunkers to each side. The tee shot on the 14th is over a lake. Don’t hit your drive too long or you will be in the bunker surrounding the green. The 15th is another long par 4 that needs 3 shots to reach the green. The 16th is a good par 5 that gives a good chance for a birdie. The 17th needs a tee shot to the left, so that you have a clear line into the green. The final hole is a good par 5 that needs accurate lines to avoid the water.
You finish at the 19th hole, where there is good food and the chance to relax and watch the next groups play in.

Little Gem

This course has made great strides in recent years. There are too many excellent upgrades to mention them all. There are a few improvements still to be made. The SI have recently been changed to reflect some of these changes.
The 1st is a par 3 protected by 3 bunkers. An accurate tee shot is needed here. The 2nd needs an accurate drive left of middle - beware the bunker on the left and the railway line to the right. The next is a long par 4 with the railway to the right again. The new white and yellow tees afford a fantastic view down the 4th fairway, with a new lake on the right and trees to the left. Interesting 3rd shot up onto an elevated green. Keep your drive left of centre on the next hole, avoiding the tree from the back tees. Beware the dip to the right of the green with your second shot. There are 2 tee areas on the 6th. The back tees need an accurate drive in the centre to clear the ridge. The red tee shots need to keep right to avoid racing off left and backwards. Keep right on the elevated green to avoid the deep bunker. Cross the road to the 7th and play up the hill. Fantastic views from the 8th tee hitting out over a ‘valley’ onto a mound and then across onto an isolated green. The 9th is a blind hole. After hitting over the top it needs a long shot onto an elevated green. Setting off on the home stretch provides an excellent view of the course and the 10th hole - a slight dogleg left. The 11th is a long dogleg to the right, where the adventurous hit over the trees to the green. The next hole is a long par 3, that many fail to reach from the red tees. Hitting up over the hill to the next green requires 3 accurate shots. The dreaded 14th poses many obstacles to putting your tee shot on the green. A good view again from the 15th, looking backwards over the Tarn and forward down to the green. Cross the road to the elevated tee of the 16th. A long tee shot is needed here, so that you can clear the bunker surrounding the green. Next it’s up and over the steep hill to the bunker protected green. The elevated tee gives a good view down the last hole. Beware the trees to the left and OOB to the right. Make a good putt on the last, as you are being watched from the clubhouse.
Make sure you stay to eat, as the food is superb.
