La Cala (Campo America - North)
|
Description
Opened shortly after Campo Asia, Campo America, formerly the North Course, is some 250 metres longer and carries a par of 73 (there are five par 5s). The hilly topography is similar to Campo Asia and did not lend itself to the creation of any water holes, but carry shots across steep grunkle-covered side slopes more than make up for the lack of water on this challenging golf course. Two, perhaps three, of the par 5s are reachable in two (holes 1, 9 and 15), and the par 3s are spectacular. La Cala Golf Resort
