Fantastic Golf From Polaris World on La Torre

la Torre golf course is 6 hectares in size and in the most
beautiful Polaris World La torre Golf Coursesurroundings that combine with and enhance the resort
itself. There are so many stunning views with various changes in
the level of the landscape, sculptured bunkers and three lakes which means this course has plenty to offer.

The La Torre Golf Course was designed by Michael Nicklaus for
Nicklaus Design – one of the world’s leading golf course design
companies headed by the legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. This
course forms part of the Nicklaus Golf Trail of 9 courses within a
25km radius, discounted green fees are available to all the
Polaris World property and all of the other eight fantastic golf course.

La Torre is a par 68 course with a number of tees per hole all colour coded which will suit all abilities. The course is kind to those with a higher handicap giving you plenty of safe routes to the pin. Should you find yourself in the bunkers, the sand is top quality so the ball never sits too low which should help your escape shot (although you'll still need some skill!). For the low handicappers, there are opportunities to take riskier shots particularly on the Par 3's and 4's where there's plenty of sand and water hazards to negotiate.

La Torre comprises 6 Par 3 holes, 10 Par 4 holes and 2 Par 5's – this means the course requires a strategic approach and calls for accuracy over distance. Although the course is by no means short (and your driver will be called into action), you'll need to be on form with your wedges and irons as the greens are well protected by hazards. With forward tee positions on the Par 5’s, the big hitters among you will reach the greens in two shots. The first Par 5 is sited on the front nine at the 7th hole with the second on the back nine at the 12th.

Course fees change depending on the time of year. High season is: February, March, April, May, October and November. Low season is: January, June, July, August, September and December. As a visitor, expect to pay around 60 Euros in low season and 80 Euros in high.

As a Polaris World property owner your green fees will be lower at around 55 Euros for 18 holes although there are special afternoon and twilight rates that can cost around 20-25 Euros.

Residents can also buy vouchers for 4 or 10 rounds:

A 4 round voucher for 1 month costs 200 Euros.

A 10 round voucher for 2 months costs 440 Euros.

There are also options to purchase yearly memberships or a 25 year Golf Right.
