Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
To all Golfers. Over my last few visits I have spoken to several golfers who like me, are on their own and looking for a game. So I have spoken with Chris the professional at the CE Golf Club and suggested that he organises a "roll up" on a Monday and Friday at approx 9.00a.m. for us "lone golfers". He agreed, as he had noticed that there were quite a few golfers playing on their own. If any of you think this is a good idea, perhaps you would chase Chris up when you are out there and he can then get it going. (I am out again from the 26th June to the 3rd July and looking for a game! a PM would be gratefully received). Thanks. Dave

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
Superb pics as ever, Graham. I notice that Golf 1 seems completely deserted. When did you take your photos? I was out earlier this week on a flying visit (pre-completion inspection on our Rago 1 Bloque 1 apartment) and had time to slot in my first round ever of the course. Totally empty at 5 pm on Tuesday, apart from v active greenkeepers (too active on 7th green - stood waiting to play to it for 5 min & eventually gave up as realised they weren't going to move). Temporary clubhouse like Marie Celeste as well.
Still, not complaining about "millionaire's golf" - instead of the 5 hr round that some posts had led me to expect, I got round in 2 hrs 40 min. And what a course! I can't recall playing on such fine-grassed turf in Spain or Portugal before; I thought the fairways were like a good UK links course (apart from the scrappy areas between greens and tees). Must be all that sand they put down. The wind on the first 7 holes made it a true links-type test of golf (the 2nd into the wind is a seriously tough par 4 - as good as anything Harlech can throw at you). And the greens ...... what a treat for your ball to go where you have aimed it.
Also, so far as I know, no UK course can offer the sight - and sound - of storks, egrets, black winged stilts and hoopoes.
Oh, and the apartment was pretty damn good too. (Many thanks again Benny for your expert input). Very clean and not a lot wrong. Fadesa have clearly learnt from their experience of Phase 1 that, amazingly enough, it does actually pay to build things properly.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
I don't know about that - it has some hot competition, as a fairly random search of Andalucian estate agents' sites reveals. How about this beauty in Benalmadena (NB this is the estate agents photo so presumably this is the best side!)
