La Torre Golf Course


This 18 hole golf course with par 68 has the following specifications:
• 5.354 metres of golf trail
• 3 lakes.
• 4 tees with wide fairways.
• Natural surroundings in harmony with the area.
• Driving range & Putting green.
• USGA Standard.
• 55 hectares.
• Club, Pro-shop.
• Golf School.
La Torre Golf Course - First hole
La Torre begins with a par-four doglegging gently to the left. Golfers will immediately notice the large bunker running down the left side of the hole.
Large bunkers like these are the distinguishing design feature of La Torre, and players should be ready to contend with many more of them throughout the remainder of their round.
The fairway here is generous, but players taking the risk to play along the bunker on the left will be rewarded with a better angle for their approach.
The large green features several tricky pin positions and is guarded on the left by the large bunker while the back-right pin is closely protected by a small pot bunker.
This gentle par four should provide golfers with a warm welcome to La Torre.
La Torre Golf Course - Second hole
Players will find the longest par-four on the course at the second hole.
Although a long hole on the scorecard, golfers can dramatically shorten the hole by playing an aggressive teeshot over the corner of the large bunker on the right. Tee shots hit into this riskier landing area will tend to kick forward, shortening the approach to the green.
Players electing to play safe away from the bunker to the left side of the fairway will have a much longer approach to this large, but very tricky green.
The front-right of the green is protected by a large bunker, but smart players can play away from this hazard to the strong slope in the back-left of green and watch their ball feed all the way into the middle of the green.
Par will always be a good score here
La Torre Golf Course - Third hole
Players now make their way to the first of the six par-threes on the course.
This medium-length hole features a three-level green. A small, but deep pot bunker strategically sits in the middle of the entry to the green.
The lowest section of the green is in the center, while the front and left edges of the green fall off into mown chipping areas.
Another bunker guards the right portion of the green on this challenging short hole.
La Torre Golf Course - Fourth hole
This par four doglegs slightly to the right around a small lake.
The fourth hole is short, but features perhaps the narrowest landing area on the course. Players can elect to lay up short into the wider portion of the fairway or they can choose to try and squeeze their drive into the narrow part of the fairway between the lake and fairway bunkers on the left.
The two-level green sits behind a large bunker along the lake and is protected on the left by another bunker.
Although only a short hole, reckless players can very quickly make a large score here
La Torre Golf Course - Fifth hole
Sand is everywhere on the short par-three fifth hole.
The green of this hole is surrounded on three sides by the large bunker, while a deep fairway low short of the green will make for a delicate chip.
Instead of taking a chance with the bunkers, players here may want to just play a smart shot to the center of the green, take their par, and move on quietly to the sixth tee.
La Torre Golf Course - Sixth hole
The sixth hole should prove to be an exciting little par-four. The hole is short enough to allow most players a chance to drive the green.
A large bunker crosses the landing area and circles around to protect the front-right of the green. Free of other bunkers, the remainder of the green complex seems innocent. This is hardly the case as players will notice the green slopes away from them into a deep fairway low on the left. Those laying up may find it difficult to keep their approach shot on the green.
The green complex features numerous other humps and hollows to challenge short-game play.
This may look like an easy birdie-hole on the scorecard, but many players will walk to the next tee with a disappointing par or worse
La Torre Golf Course - Seventh hole
The seventh hole is the only par-five on the front side.
Players here drive over the large bunker to a fairway protected on both sides by fairway bunkers. A ridge cuts across the landing area allowing those challenging the left fairway bunker to get a nice kick forward down the fairway.
Those playing to the flatter right side of the fairway will probably not get the favorable kick and might not be able to reach the green in two shots.
The fairway then snakes around another large bunker on the right to a green closely guarded in the front by the bunker.
Aggressive play here could be rewarded with a birdie.
La Torre Golf Course - Eighth hole
The eighth hole features a teeshot over the small lake to a fairway guarded on both sides by fairway bunkers.
Golfers playing along the bunker on the left will be rewarded with a more open angle to the green.
Those playing from the right side of the fairway will have to contend with the deep greenside bunker on the right.
Three-putts are a real possibility here on this difficult three-level green.
La Torre Golf Course - Ninth hole
Players finish the front nine playing back towards the Town Center at the par-three ninth hole.
This hole plays over the lake to a very shallow green. This small target requires players to hit their most precise shot of the day.
For those wishing to avoid the lake, a small fairway pad is provided left of the green.
The narrow green is subtlety contoured allowing players a better chance at making a long putt.
La Torre Golf Course - Tenth hole
The back nine begins with the medium-length par-four tenth hole.
This hole gently doglegs to the right around another large bunker. Those carrying the ridge in the landing area can pick up some additional yardage with a kick forward into this large landing area.
While the danger at this green appears to be the large bunker on the right, players will actually find the more difficult up-and-down to be from the low left of the green.
Because of this, players could find this par four to be more than a little tricky.
La Torre Golf Course - Eleventh hole
The eleventh hole is the longest and probably most difficult par-three on the course.
Playing to its full length, this monster of a hole requires a full carry over the large lake to the green. For those less bold, a fairway pad is provided to the left.
The green is large and features two levels, which means the challenge of this hole does not end until the ball is finally in the hole.
La Torre Golf Course - Twelfth hole
The twelfth hole is the only par-five on the back side and plays to a very reachable length.
The teeshot is played over the lake to a fairway protected on both sides with bunkers. Those playing along the fairway bunker on the left will be rewarded with a strong kick forward making the green easily reachable.
The green sits in a saddle with the back portion strongly breaking off into a fairway low. The front of the green is protected again by the bunker.
A high, soft shot will be required to hold this green, but for golfers up to the task, an eagle could be the reward.
La Torre Golf Course - Thirteenth hole
The par-four thirteenth hole doglegs to the left around a large bunker.
Another fairway bunker sits right of the landing area protecting the preferred line of attack to this green. Sand moves back in front of this strongly contoured two-level green.
The back of this green breaks off into deep fairway lows that could make for a tough recovery.
La Torre Golf Course - Fourteenth hole
The par-four fourteenth features three different options on the teeshot.
Players can lay up short of the bunkers on the right and leave a longer approach to the green or they can try to squeeze their shot between the bunkers and the large bunker on the left for a shorter approach. The longest of players can try to carry the bunkers on the right into the wide part of the fairway.
Regardless which option the golfer selects, this difficult green will present a challenge for any approach. The front of the green features a strong “false-front” slope that will pull short approaches backward into the fairway.
Additionally, the front section of the green runs away from the player into a fairway low while the upper left section is guarded by a very deep bunker.
This hole should be an interesting test for all players.
La Torre Golf Course - Fifteenth hole
The par-three fifteenth hole sits naturally alongside a large, deep bunker.
The right half of this two-level green is protected by the bunker while the left half is open to run up shots. Another deep bunker protects the left portion of the green while another bunker in the back-right will swallow up shots that are too long
Putting will be made easier by placing your teeshot on the correct level.
This par three features a little more room for error and should allow players a nice chance to pick up a shot.
La Torre Golf Course - Sixteenth hole
The sixteenth hole doglegs sharply around the large lake and offers players an exciting risk-reward opportunity.
Players can dramatically reduce the length of this par-four by cutting the corner over the edge of the lake. Although very risky, the successful shot will leave players just a short pitch to this tricky little two-leveled green.
Those laying up into the wider parts of the fairway will be faced with a difficult shot to a green that breaks off the back into fairway lows and is protected on the right by a deep bunker.
Regardless of the outcome, this hole is sure to be the subject of numerous stories of both glory and disaster at the nineteenth hole.
La Torre Golf Course - Seventeenth hole
The final par-three at La Torre plays alongside the large lake.
A bunker guards the front of green but could also save errant shots from bouncing into the lake.
The front-left of the green is very shallow and numerous shots could easily find their way into the deep back bunker. The right portion of the green is guarded by the lake while the back of the green falls off into another fairway low.
Par will always be a good score on this beautiful, yet dangerous hole.
La Torre Golf Course - Eighteenth hole
With the clubhouse in view, players make their way home at this par-four.
The large bunker starts at the tees and runs the entire length of the hole.
Players favoring the left side of the fairway will have a better angle of attack to this green. The green sits on a peninsula surrounded on three sides with sand.
While the hole is not long, precise shot-making will be the key to finishing the round strong.
