1. The Pines

A not-too-long par five where big hitters can reach the green in two shots with ease. The fairway slopes slightly from right to left and is lined with trees on both sides, so it's important to stay on the fairway. The green is fast, sloping from back to front and right to left, and is protected by bunkers on all sides except the front. It's safer to leave the ball short.

2. The Caleya

A long par three, often played into a strong headwind. The green is open at the front but protected by trees and bunkers on both sides and at the back. It's safer to leave the ball short.

Gentlemen - 202 m.

Ladies - 173 m.

Par - 3

HCP - 8

3. The Ravine

A steep uphill hole with a deep depression and out of bounds on the left, which a long drive can easily carry. The green is well protected by bunkers and trees both in front and behind. It's best to aim to the right side of the green and avoid overshooting it.

Gentlemen - 297 m.

Ladies - 271 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 6

4. The Baby

A short par three with out of bounds on the left, which becomes much more challenging when the wind blows from left to right. It's best to aim to the right.

Gentlemen - 125 m.

Ladies - 99 m.

Par - 3

HCP - 16

5. The Horses

A beautiful long par 4 with out of bounds on the left and plenty of trees on the right. The fairway has a slight slope, making stance difficult. A solid tee shot is needed to approach the green with confidence, as it is well protected by bunkers and there is out of bounds on the left. It's better to leave the ball short than to go long.

Gentlemen - 372 m.

Ladies - 333 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 2

6. The Walnut Trees

A reachable par five if played from the fairway, but the elevated tee and out of bounds on the left make it tricky to find. The uphill fairway means one more club than usual is needed for the second shot. Big hitters may reach the green in two, while others will need a short third shot. The green is long, with a bunker on the left and a slope on the right.

Gentlemen - 415 m.

Ladies - 356 m.

Par - 5

HCP - 18

7. The Cherry Trees

A short hole but with a challenging tee shot. The teeing area is tightly lined with dense trees on both sides, requiring a very straight shot. The fairway is narrow, and both sides are bordered by fruit trees in the rough, making recovery shots difficult. From the fairway, the green is easily reachable, but it's very fast and features a large tier in the middle.

8. The Wall

The green’s position on this par four heavily influences how it's played. A long tee shot to the right side of the fairway is recommended, as the second shot requires a right-to-left approach to hold the ball on a green that defends itself with speed and a steep slope toward deep bunkers on the right. It's better to aim to the left.

Gentlemen - 327 m.

Ladies - 291 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 4

9. The Orchard

A medium-length par three that doesn’t forgive mistakes. Eucalyptus trees on both sides will stop any off-line shot. The green, located above the Club’s access road, is surrounded by deep bunkers that make it impossible to roll the ball in. It’s best to approach it from the right.

Gentlemen - 161 m.

Ladies - 130 m.

Par - 3

HCP - 14

10. The Big Oak

The club’s signature hole, featuring an impressive “roblón” (large oak tree) in the background. Out of bounds runs along the left side and behind the green, so it’s wise not to be too aggressive. The green slopes strongly from left to right and toward the back, making it best to land the ball slightly short and to the left of the hole.

Gentlemen - 264 m.

Ladies - 244 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 17

11. The Apple Trees

The green is well protected by trees and bunkers, with out of bounds on the left. The abundance of apple trees surrounding it means that missing the green could cost more than one shot.

Gentlemen - 150 m.

Ladies - 126 m.

Par - 3

HCP - 13

12. The River

A very complete and challenging par four. The tee shot may seem straightforward, but out of bounds on the left and trees on the right make any mistake costly. Even with a long drive down the fairway, the river and a large group of trees flanking it make the second shot difficult toward a green guarded by a bunker on the right and back, and water in front. It's safer to play to the left.

Gentlemen - 360 m.

Ladies - 312 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 1

13. The Blimal

Be careful with the tee shot, which crosses the 12th fairway—try to avoid the forest on the left. It’s better to play it wide than to close the shot. The green is elevated, with a steep slope, a bunker on the left, and out of bounds behind.

Gentlemen - 278 m.

Ladies - 245 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 7

14. The Pomarada

A beautiful par four with a slight dogleg from right to left. A solid drive is needed to have a chance of reaching the green in two. On the right side of the fairway, trouble awaits with trees and a water fountain. The green is slightly elevated and surrounded by bunkers, so the approach must be played high.

Gentlemen - 373 m.

Ladies - 333 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 3

15. The Roxa

A downhill par three often played into a strong headwind, making club selection tricky. Watch out for the out of bounds to the left of the green. The condition of the fairway leading up to the green makes it hard to predict how the ball will behave.

Gentlemen - 183 m.

Ladies - 145 m.

Par - 3

HCP - 11

16. The Bend

A classic dogleg from right to left with out of bounds on the left and a large tree that makes it advisable to play to the right side of the fairway. The green is elevated and slopes from back to front, with slight air currents that tend to hold up the approach shot. It's best to putt uphill.

Gentlemen - 249 m.

Ladies - 210 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 9

17. The Laurels

A seemingly easy par four, but with a bunker on the right side of the fairway that catches many tee shots. The green is very elevated and has a steep slope from back to front, so it's best not to overshoot it on the approach.

Gentlemen - 296 m.

Ladies - 237 m.

Par - 4

HCP - 15

18. The Elms

A not very long but highly technical par five. The tee is flanked by tall pine trees, and the fairway, with a massive walnut tree on the left, slopes steeply from left to right and downhill, making it very hard to place the tee shot on the fairway. The second shot should aim to stay in the fairway and set up a clear approach to the green. The green is very long and sloped, so it's important to pay attention to the flag's color.

Gentlemen - 439 m.

Ladies - 393 m.
