Situated in Nueva Andalucia, the Mecca of European Golf, Aloha is a natural golf course, with varied vegetation, where no two holes are the same. Neither long nor short, the course is immaculately maintained.
Large and guarded greens at the Aloha Golf Course offer a good challenge, and the varied vegetation make each hole different.
It is important here to place your shots carefully, especially off the tee. Aloha is not a very long course, but it is sometimes tight and hilly. The trees are often dangerous and a number of greens are blind, multi-tiered and very fast. Generally, the greens are tricky, especially at the par 5 10th, with its adjacent lake.
Although an original layout, Aloha leaves an impression of harmony, and intelligent use of terrain from a golfing point of view, especially on holes 1, 12 and 18, all three are excellent.
A number of natural banks can cause problems, as can several water hazards, particularly on the back nine. Pleasant to play, and well laid out. Aloha is an excellent test of golf. If you hit straight and manage to stay on the ample fairways you’ll be safe.
