Description

Estancias is a great challenge requiring a wide range of shots that impede to box in only one determined game style, privileging strategic game. A total of 11 water hazards appear in more than half of the holes, some of them are displayed as big lagoons, like the ones bordering the 3rd, 8th , 9th ,17th and 18th. Probably one of the characteristic of this layout of rolling bumps fairways is the different shapes that designer used for the creation of more than 100 bunkers that protect both tee shots and approaches. The greens constructed under USGA regulations have normal size, letting the ball run fast and at the same time smoothly receiving the approaches.

Signature Hole

4th / Par 4 / 390 yards: a straight par 4, with three signature circle big bunkers on the right, and a bunker on the left. Altough the tee box is not too complicated, the approach requires a lot of preccission. The green is a half island, with water short and right, while big deep bunkers protect the left side. The fact that the green rolls fast to the water, makes chipping out of the bunkers almost impossible.
