La Finca golf course opened its doors in August of 2002 and was designed by Don Jose Gancedo
to host top amateur and professional tournaments.
It is a course with generous fairways and spectacular greens because of its design and variety of contours.
Among the most interesting aspects of this course are:
-
The green on the 7th hole, completely squared and surrounded by a spectacular bunker.
-
The 5th and 6th holes, next to a beautiful lake with several waterfalls on their left side. This lake provides these holes not only with a water hazard, but also an added beauty that complements this already gorgeous course.
Among many species, the most common found in this residential complex are:
-
Olive Tree (Olea europaea L.) ,totaling 948, this tree grows in those Mediterranean areas that are exposed to the sun.
-
Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) , totaling 225 trees and shrubs.
-
Washingtonian Palm Tree (Washingtonia philyphera), totalling 980 trees.
-
Cypress (Cupresus Sempervirens), totaling 98 trees is a very common feature of a Mediterranean garden.
-
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea Sanderiana), magnificent clouds of various colour floral bracts from July to September are the highlight of this strong-growing, evergreen climber.
-
Australian Pine (Casuarina Equisetifolia), used to form a wall against the salt from the sea.

My top tip for this great golf course if you want to enjoy you day at La Finca is keep out of the ruff, it doesn't look to long but it is deadly to play from. One last point unless you hit the golf ball a long long way play the par five's as par five's.
