Hacienda Riquelme GC is a modern Championship course which features the new paspalum grass – similar to Bermuda, with excellent putting surfaces.
The course layout offers ample fairways that are combined with challenging greens, and bunkers ready to complicate your round! All of which is surrounded by wild flowers, olive trees, large lakes and an abundance of history.
The course has a very links-like feel to it in places and the rough-cut bunkers add to this.
Another pleasing aspect to the layout is how the properties have been set back from the course itself and at no time do they feel as if they are encroaching on your game.
Many of the yardages of the greens are quite deceptive as many of them are slightly elevated and heavily protected by bunkers so as a general word of advice take a club more than you think!
Visitors to Intercontinental La Torre enjoy complimentary transfers to Hacienda Riquelme.
