"Why move earth when a golf hole should
follow the natural contours?" was the philosophy of
Josè Gancedo Gomez when he designed Torrequebrada. Not
surprisingly then the course is tortuous but the
panoramic views and variety at each hole make up for the
undulating terrain. As if the natural hazards there are
plenty of trees and bushes, weren't enough six holes are
affected by water and there are numerous strategically
placed bunkers.
The 16th, a short par 4,
is a dogleg to the right with a down hill second shot
towards an elevated green where the pin is barely
visible. Opened in 1976 Torrequebrada has hosted many
world class tournaments, including the Spanish Open
(1979) and operating a liberal public golf policy it is
popular with visitors. Located 12 km from Malaga aiport
at 220 km on the N340. |
