Best golfcourses within a 30 km.radius from Ayamonte

Re: Best golfcourses within a 30 km.radius from Ayamonte
i have only played ria and cima.
however further to the golf deal i got earlier this week www.yourgolftravel.com have now beaten it with 3 nights HB at Islantilla golf hotel with 4 days unlimited golf at Islantilla for £119!!!!
I can never remember prices being this cheap.
So my initial question in that other thread was about Isla Canela but now I am more interested what people think of Islantilla. Its a 27 hole setup so should be more interesting over 4 days than an 18 hole track.

Islantilla has a lovely layout, especially if you play the championship course, 19-27 then 1-9. I have seen photos of the course when it first opened and when the Turespana Masters, won by Alex Cejka, was held there in 1995.
Unfortunately the course does not bear any resemblance to what it once did. Housing developments line the fairways and there is a fair chance you will lose a ball in a garden.
Although the course is still worth playing for its design, it is a shame the the developers motto of maximise profit destroyed the original tree lined routing. That said, it is still a fair golfing challenge, especially holes 21, 25, 3, 4, 5 and 9.

Costa Esuri East Course
In an attempt to keep like topics roughly where they started, can I ask whether the East Course has been brought back on line yet or when they are now planning to do so.
Even when not playing it is fun to watch people on the first tee from my flat - particularly when the wind is from the North. With a Northerly the carry over the reed beds from the elevated tee is a challenging shot

Re: Costa Esuri East Course
No the line is there is a legal dispute between Aymerich and MF about the condition of the 2 courses when they were handed over at the start of the management contract 2-3 years ago. It is apparantly in court at the moment and as a retaliation Aymerich are not maintaining the East course but it is still watered and the Tees and Greens are cut but the fairways are not.

Re: Costa Esuri East Course

Re: Costa Esuri East Course
Good Job you said figure skating..... More like Terry Wogan on Eurovision and Nil pwoint!

Re: Costa Esuri East Course
Thats exactly what my keen golf visitors do from the terrace though they don't hold them where they can be seen but we get your own back when they have played the east with a little more noise and definite scores passed to them. They join in the fun though.

Re: Costa Esuri East Course
UPDATE. Interesting small amounts of maintenance have been going on on the east course this past 10 days and today some cutting of the fairway on the eigth has happened. Greens and tees are still being watered and last weeks torrential downpoor is greening things up.

The greenkeeper team are back today working on the bunkers my guess is that they are getting ready for the north european invasion next month.
