Our take

Two courses in one, really: Canyamel climbs into the hills on the way out, then comes home on flatter ground where the tiered greens do the defending.

Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.

How it plays

What you are actually facing

18holes
73par
6,747yards
161mof climb
16water hazards

The walk. Moderate. 161 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually north-easterly, averaging 9 km/h, gusting to 36. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 16 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. José 'Pepe' Gancedo.

The holes that will cost you. The 15th, the 4th and the 17th. The 7th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
