Description

The Valle del Sol Golf Course was designed by international golf course architect, Tracy May. Fifteen lakes and several streams are distributed around the course, with water affecting play on 16 of the course’s 18 holes. Greens feature Bermuda grass with balls rolling fast and true. Fairway bunkers and greenside sand traps complement the exciting challenge and natural beauty of this superb course. This 18-hole championship, par-72 course stretches for 6,750 gently sloping yards. Well-groomed fairways are punctuated with tropical trees, colorful gardens and small lakes, which add to the challenging conditions as well as to the course’s natural beauty.

Signature Hole

The 18th, a 529 yard long par five is a truly memorable finishing hole. This one will make anybody shake when they stand on the tee. Off the tee there is a lake on the left all the way to the green. There is also a hazard on the right. The clubhouse in the background and on top of the hill gives the hole a spectacular view. Best hole description: “The best finishing hole in Latin America !
