Aguilon Signature Hole

It has to be the par 5 9th hole, teeing off from an elevated box down into a canyon with 2 different ravines.  To clear the second ravine a drive of 230 yds is required.  Even after this tough first shot a precise second is required to land between the 2 lakes flanking either side of the thin fairway funeling down towards the green.  A final chip on requires a delicate control to prevent rolling off down into the lake or finding one of 2 bunkers to the left.  Walking off hole 9 with a par is some achievement.

In summary, to visit Aguilon Golf is to experience one of Spains most stunning new courses.  Very challenging and requiring some local knowledge to conquer to longer holes, but with panoramic views down towards the sparkling Mediterranean to calm the nerves on the tee box!  The 5 courses offer an excellent opportunity for golfers of all levels to enjoy this fantastic course and the ravines, mountains and lakes tick all boxes for the golf purist.
