More Golf

We played a couple of fantastic tracks near Estepona - Dona Julia and Finca Courtesin. Both are pretty new. The greens at both were crazy fast! One of the par 5's at Dona Julia was 620 meters - thats about 685 yards. The par 3s at Finca Courtesin were as long as any I have played on a single course - the first was 209 meters, the second was 229 meters (250+ yards, 2 hybrid, short in the bunker - I just couldn't hit driver on a par 3) and the third was 203, and the fourth was 162. Add 10% for the conversion, and consider we were around 300m above sea level.
Both were in high construction areas. We counted 28 construction cranes from the 17th tee at Finca Courtesin. Thousands of units are under construction in the area.
Pics to follow soon.
