Our take

A round of two halves at Villamartin: a hilly, tactical front nine with long views, then a softer run home interrupted by the odd ravine.

What you are actually facing

18holes

6,493yards

9water hazards

The walk. Moderate. 121 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually north-easterly, averaging 10 km/h, gusting to 36. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 9 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The holes that will cost you. The 14th, the 5th and the 1st. The 5th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
