A short par 4 downhill, with the fairway tilted to the right. “OB - Out of Bounds” is considered out of the field to the left in all its extension, as well as after the green. Along the entire fairway, there are beautiful sequences of trees, both on the left and on the right, which in turn, divide it with the next hole 2.
Only one bank currently protects the green on the right, which makes it difficult for golfers who happen to make their second stroke on the right, and who will see a green positioned much higher than the bank. It will require a lot of skill from the golfer to leave this bank, so that the ball does not cross the green or even return it to the bank again.
For the most skilled golfers who hit their drives above 300 yards, there is a possibility of reaching the green in just one shot, running the risk of falling on the right bank or passing the green, with possibilities to roll the ball out of the field. The ideal is to aim the drive on the left side of the fairway for a light “fade” stroke, as the natural tendency of the fairway is to roll the ball to the right- Be careful, however, with the outfield on the left.

A par 3 uphill, totally revitalized, with the position of the tee currently higher and with the green located at the end of the fairway uphill, with strong inclinations and well protected by stands on the right and left, being the best starting shot from the center the green.
The current green is new and is much wider. The green grass is in better condition every day, but depending on the position of the flag, the strong inclinations may roll the ball out of the green, returning it to the fairway, which will impact the final score of the hole.
The ideal is to leave the first ball in an upward position towards the flag, to facilitate the second shot and with birdie possibilities.

Long and strategic par 5, with two sets of cross-bunkers well located on the left and further ahead on the right, which is divided into a series of small stalls. The golfer who hits long drives should try to position the ball in order to avoid the first sand bank on the left. The second shot should in turn be positioned to the left of the fairway, as the second sandbank is located on the right, approximately 100 yards to the green.
The green is well protected by two front stands, which leave only a narrow entrance for the third shot. And considered as “OB - Out ofBounds”, the left side of the fairway from the proximity of the first sand bank to the green and also after the green.
For the most skilled golfers it is a great opportunity for birdies, although it is considered the most difficult hole in the handicap field 1.

Par 4 difficult in dog-leg accentuated on the left and with Iago in front. The first shot with the drive or wood should be enough to pass a lake on the left, but it cannot be too strong not to fall into the cross-bunker located about 150 yards from the green.
Striking the tee on the left is considered off-field “OB - Out of Bounds”, as well as along the entire length of the fairway, and striking the tee on the right will bring many trees into play.
Once well positioned on the fairway, the second shot on the green will be more peaceful for the most skilled golfers, although the green is relatively narrow and elevated and well protected by sandbanks on both sides.
Behind the green he is considered on the pitch, but with a much higher view of the green for a third shot.
Pairing this hole is considered an excellent result.

The current green which is wider and deeper and is well protected by sand banks on both sides.

Long par 4 with dog-leg on the right, and considered one of the most difficult holes in the course, despite its classification as handicap 5.
It is necessary to make a good first shot with the drive to the left of the fairway, taking care not to fall into the cross-bunker located on the right.
The second shot will be on average between 200 to 180 yards to the green, which is considered quite extensive, in elevation and with good inclinations, mainly from the middle to the bottom of the green. Behind the green there is a big depression with a view of trees and the fairway of hole 3. Therefore, it will require care when trying to attack the flag a lot, when positioned at the bottom of the green.
The green is well protected by two sand banks on both sides, with the right bank being more extensive than the left.
Performing a pair or boggie on this hole is considered an excellent result for all amateur golfers.

Strategic par 5 with light dog-leg on the right and with two lakes along and to the left of the fairway. The first shot requires care of the first lake on the left, especially for the most skilled golfers with a drive over 290-300 yards. It is common to see these scratches golfers prefer to hit their first shot with wood instead of the drive.
Even though, for most amateur golfers, there is a good chance of placing the first shot in the middle of the fairway. Both on the right and on the left (before the lake) there are many trees, which may come into play.
In the sequence, the second shot will come into play the second lake to the left of the fairway. The ideal shot will be to position the ball to the left and in front of a coconut tree located to the right of the fairway, approximately 150 yards to the green.
The current green has been enlarged on the left, where it previously had a sand bank. So the third shot to the green will enter the lake on the left, as well as a single sand bank on the right of the green.
Behind the green there is a large space available for golfers who hit the third shot a lot, but who will have a much higher view of the green, which will make it difficult to stop the ball on the green in deciding.

A relatively short par 5, but also strategic depending on the game you are playing. The most skilled golfer with the long drive should watch out for the lake on the left. The ideal is to place the first ball in the middle or to the right of the fairway.
The second shot will have to avoid an extensive deep cross-bunker on the right, which is between 120 and 40 yards to the green.
The green in turn is well protected in its frontal and lateral parts by strategically positioned sand banks, as well as another bank at the back of the green.
There are great chances of birdies and pairs, but depending on the location of the flag, especially at the beginning of the green, strong inclinations will come into play, which will result in more strokes with the putter.

Par 4 short in uphill and that requires some care mainly in the first stroke of the tee, because in front of you some tall trees will come into play. However, to the left of the front trees there is an open space for access to the fairway.
For the most skilled golfers with a long drive it is possible to reach the green with just one stroke. To do so, it will be necessary to hit hard on the right side of the lane, overcoming the leafy trees in the vicinity of the tee and avoiding the cross-bunkers existing approximately 50 yards from the green- But be careful not to hit too hard on the left, as it is considered “OB - Out of Bounds”, as well as the bottom of the green.
The safest and recommended for most amateur golfers will be to hit the first shot on the left or over the front trees on the right with drive, wood, hybrid or even a long iron, and leave the ball before cross-bunkers. With that, the second approach shot will be between 140 to 80 yards to the green.
The green is well protected by a front bank on your left and another on the left side; it is also inclined and requires care when making strokes with the putter, especially if the flag is located at the beginning of the green. There are good chances for birdies and pairs, if the golfer succeeds in making the second stroke to the green.

Par 4 downhill with Iago on the left. The fairway is inclined to the left, which tends to fly a ball in the direction of this inclination, requiring attention in front of the aforementioned lake.
To the left of the tee and the fairway up to approximately the 200 yard mark, there is a mini golf course for children and therefore there are white stakes surrounding it, and therefore it is considered off-field “OB-Out of Bounds”.
The ideal tee shot is the one that will make a draw movement, leaving towards a coconut tree to the right of the fairway. Once well positioned on the fairway between 160 to 110 yards to the green, the second shot will depend on the skill of each golfer, as a cross-bunker to the right of the fairway will come into play.
The green despite being configured with very few slopes, in reality it is well protected by two side sand banks and one at the back, which will require a lot of skill in calculating the distance, strength and height of the ball flight, in order to leave her in a good position for birdie or pair.

Par 3 is considered the easiest on the entire course, as it is classified as handicap 18, although many amateur golfers do not believe it is.
The first stroke of the tee is downhill, with trees mainly to the right of the fairway.
The configuration of the hole privileges those more experienced golfers who make their strokes in draw over the sand bank on the right or those who use the “fade” movement, as the green is long and narrow with a left to right layout.
Anyway, the other amateur golfers will also have great chances to embouch for pair or boggie, even if they do not reach the green, just make your first shot slightly to the left or even straight and then give a good shot of approach to the green.
Definitely very sharp strokes on both the left and right should be avoided, as several tall trees and pines will come into play, which are strategically positioned near the tee. All golfers will have to be very careful too, with the sand bank positioned to the left of the green, as any longer flight of the ball from the tee, may hit it and hinder its exit and consequently its shot for birdie or pair.
After the green there is a considerable area / lawn for access to tee 12, with few bushes that will come into play, if it is used for those who attack the flag a lot.

Dog-leg par 4 on the left. One of the most beautiful and difficult holes in the second round (back nine) and the whole course, justified by the classification as handicap 2,
The tee is elevated with a series of lakes front and to the left. Therefore, they will require a lot of precision and skill from all golfers on their first stroke, to pass the first frontal Iago and still avoid the huge lake that accompanies the fairway from 220 yards, as well as a series of tall trees on the right.
Once in the center of the fairway, the second shot will have the ball positioned higher than the level of the feet, which may hinder this shot on the green.
The green itself is practically flat and is very well protected by two sand banks on the right, in addition to a beach (end of Iago and sand bank) to the left of the green.
For the entire length to the left of the fairway, 'COB - Out of Bounds ”is considered out of bounds.

Par 3 considered as one of the most beautiful and difficult holes in the entire course. The tee is high and the green is well protected by lakes in its front, on the right and at the back, in addition to a sand bank on the left. It can practically be considered as an island green.
To the left of the fairway until the Iago in front of the green is considered as “OB - Out of Bounds”.
The wind when opposed to the direction of the ball or even side winds, are factors to be considered in the selection of the best club, depending on each golfer.
The safest shot on the tee is the one that targets the left side to the middle of the green, as strokes too far to the right will increase the chances of hitting the front lake.
There is a drop area for golfers who are unable to cross the front lake. Although it seems easy and simple, this penalty shot will need care not to be too short or too long to reach the green, in order to minimize the damage caused by these strategically positioned obstacles.

Par 4 in a straight line, strategic and difficult- There are two lakes on the right easily accessible with the first shot with the drive. In addition, there is a cross-bunker on the left approximately 150 yards, and all the way to the left of the fairway and at the back of the field, it is considered as “OB - Out of Bounds”. Therefore, the drive must be hit accurately, straight and in the middle, to increase the chances of reaching the green with the second stroke. Even with the ball in the center of the fairway, the golfer will have to take care when making his second shot on the green.
A lake in the front and to the right of the green can intimidate the golfer, in addition to a sand bank strategically positioned on the left side. Also, if the first ball is positioned to the right of the fairway, a grove of trees will also come into play after the lake to the right of the fairway, which will force the most skilled golfer to make his second stroke in “fade”, in order to avoid the branches and leaves of these trees.
For the other golfers who are in this same situation, another option is to make a lay-up between approximately 100 to 80 yards to the green and thus make a third stroke of approach.

Short par 5 with great chances of eagle, birdie and pair, depending on the skill of each golfer, but which will require some care in positioning the ball, from the first to the third stroke. Two lakes will come into play to the right of the fairway to the green, which may cost a few strokes, if hit.
There is currently a repair area to the left of the fairway, which is replacing a set of cross-bunkers that have been inactive. This area may benefit some golfers, thus avoiding reaching the first lake with strokes that cause the ball to roll from left to right. In addition, to the left of the tee and the fairway up to approximately 200 yards from the green, there are white stakes that indicate the boundaries of the “OB - Out of Bounds” field, if they enter a forest of trees. For skilled golfers with a long drive, there are great possibilities to reach the green with a second stroke, using a wood or hybrid.
The green is wide, elevated and configured on two levels, with entrance through the center, being protected by two front stands located on the left and right, and an additional sand bank at the bottom of the green, which is on a slope, and which will require certain ability of the golfer to take the ball to the one next to the flag.

Short par 3, but it can be decisive in a game.
The golfer will come across an Iago next to the tees and another one facing the green, in addition to two lateral sand banks, one larger on the left and one smaller on the right.
It is considered as “OB - Out of Bounds” at the back of the green.
In the opinion of the most skilled golfers it is considered an easy hole. Therefore, there will be great possibilities to embouch for birdie and pair, and of course the longed for Hole-in-One!

Par 4 with dog-leg accented to the right and with Iago in front.
The fairway is set up uphill for approximately 200 yards. A good first drive with odrive will be one that has a slight fade movement, leaving the ball between 200 to 150 yards to the green.
In this way there will be great possibilities of reaching the green with the second stroke, since after the elevation of the fairway, a slope begins until the entrance of the green.
However, when making the second shot, the golfer will have to evaluate the conditions of each ball position and the wind conditions, as the green is well protected by a front bank on the left and one on the right side.
In this hole there is no off-field, and behind the green it is possible to play if the golfer attacks the flag a lot.

Long par, straight and uphill, without great difficulties for all levels of play.
The big obstacle will be the distance itself, because as it is uphill, the strokes must always be made with one extra club.
The second shot must be made avoiding two sand banks on the left and right of the green.
It is the hole that ends at the headquarters of the GGCC club, and therefore at the back of the green there are white stakes that define the boundaries of the field “OB - Out of Bounds”.
The green is wide and with certain slopes that will require great concentration and skill from each golfer to finish the game with the fewest strokes possible.
