Opened in 1991,
Emporda
is now fully-established among
Europe’s finest
top 50 courses.
American in style, three contrasting
loops of nine holes start with an outstanding links, followed
by two superb forest courses.
Emporda really is magnificent
and enjoyable. The Green nine is very different to the Blue
and Gold, being completely treeless with a links feel.
10ft pyramid mounds and desert sand bunkers line most fairways.
Water features prominently on many holes. The signature 9th
hole has a huge 40 ft island green protected by a menacing
lake. When the wind blows, this exposed Green nine can be
very challenging. The Blue and Gold nines are similar to each
other, both winding through forests. Awesome 150ft pine trees
that look like giant chimney-sweep brushes line the fairways,
with serpentine twists running through the nine. The course
is nearly always in superb condition. A further 9 holes are
currently being built, extending
Emporda to a 36-hole
complex. The course is now host to the final
PGA European
Tour Qualifying School in conjunction with
Pals.
Emporda golf resort is up there with the very best,
and is a must play during your stay.
