Golf Playa Serena - Roquetas de Mar

Opened in 1979 and running parallel to the Mediterranean Playa Serena is mainly flat with small sloping greens, most of which are protected by bunkers and water, a dominant feature here with some twelve holes affected. Winds from the east and west together with the length of the course and the unforgiving rough make the Angel Gallardo and Peter Allis design a considerable challenge. Many players find their problems begin at the 7th, a long hole with out-of-bounds close by on the right and water on the left demanding both power and accuracy off the tees. In response to the growing demand for golf in this rapidly developing area, which boasts projects for an additional seven or eight courses to open by the end of the century, Playa Serena plans to build a further nine holes. The course is located five kilometres from Roquetas de Mar.
