Golf courses
The Oceanico Faldo Course is a Par 72, 6598 meters in length course designed by Nick Faldo. This championship course will enchant the most experienced of players and beginners thanks to a clever layout of the starting tees. The fairways are traced through fields of cacti and olive trees, the surroundings can be sometimes very green, and sometimes very arid. The first 9 holes are flat but the last 9 holes are rather hilly, which makes you want to come back and play this course again and again, the diversity of the landscape is impressive.
The Oceanico O’Connor is a Par 72, 6708 meters in length course named after the designer Christy O’Connor. A very different course from the Faldo Course, it’s on more fertile land and its main characteristic are the water obstacles. It’s bordered by old palm trees and offers an oasis landscape. Holes numbers 3 and 17 are sublime Par 3s! The fairways are wide and rolling and the greens maintained to a high standard.
The Oceanico academy is a 9-hole, 700-metre in length training course with only Par 3 holes. Designed especially for those who want to progress with their pitching wedge! Great for those who prefer to tee off using an iron, the course is lit up in the evening.
