Emporda Forest Course :
This 36 hole resort offers golfers both a parkland course and also a links course . While visiting the Emporda resort I played the forest course . The golf course is surrounded by tress not too dissimilar to Playa De Pals pine trees , although Emporda is nowhere near as narrow and tight as Playa De Pals . The design and shape of the course allows golfers the opportunity to get lost in the peaceful tranquillity that surrounds this golf course . But don ’ t be fooled by this , Emporda is no easy track and will punish any lapse in concentration that you have . Small undulating greens will test even the very best putters and shot shaping is paramount . Off the tee the golf course looks to test a golfer ’ s ability to both draw and fade the ball to find that A1 landing location in order to set up opportunities to hit greens in regulation , Miss in the wrong spots , and Emporda Forest will quickly turn your scorecard into a poor day at the office .
The clubhouse is state of the art with an excellent restaurant . A large driving range is also on site as well as a Double Tree by Hilton hotel , it ’ s a golf enthusiasts dream ... Hotel , pool , golf , practice facilities , what more could you ask for .
Favourite Hole :
10th Par 5 – Terrific dog leg right that teases the golfer to have a go in two , but beware a large deep bunker awaits anyone who comes up short , and those who do will struggle for par .
What ’ s needed in the bag : Shot shaping ability and concentration .
