Course Description
Los Naranjos is a typical Robert Trent Jones design with broad sweeping fairways dotted with numerous bunkers, undulating greens and water coming into play on a number of holes. It is an easily walkable course which opens with a par-4 tailor made for the average amateur whose stock-in-trade is a slice for that is exactly the shot necessary to carry the ball around the sweeping fairway as it heads downhill into a valley. A plethora of shamrock-shaped bunkers guard the right-hand side of the fairway as it rises up to an elevated green where more bunkers stand guard. Any shot not reaching the putting surface will topple a considerable distance back towards the player such is the severity of the slope fronting the green. The fourth is a par-3, measuring 168-metres, played from an elevated tee to a green down below. The putting surface is fronted by a river, which is five metres wide, while anything over-hit will descend into serious quantities of sand. Large eucalyptus trees, standing on either side of the entrance to the green, may hinder the tee shot, be it drawn or faded. This is a first class hole and one which will be remembered, for various reasons, when others have faded from the memory.
