Real Bendinat is an attractive course with pretty spectacular
sea views. One of its main plus points is playing against the
backdrop of the magnificent Bendinat castle. Many top tournaments
are held on this course as well as open air concerts. Eighty
percent of the holes are doglegs which can be a pain for the
casual golfer, but if you have a decent handicap,l Bendinat
is an entertaining course.
Ideally located on the central Bendinat development and only
two kilometres from the luxurious marina at Portals Nous,
the course was extended from nine holes some ten or eleven
years ago. Very popular with visitors and given the number
of playing shareholders and their guests, your round may,
on occasions, take longer than one would wish for. Much of
the course is built round a steep valley, making the hire
of buggies a must for the less mobile golfer and the downright
idle. While shortest in distance and wide open in places this
is not an easy course, but it is great fun.
The par 5 eighteenth at 454 Mts. is a fabulous finishing hole.
Sweeping all the way gently to the right, your tee shot and
second need to be long enough to give you a sight of the green
for your approach. A par or better here and you’ll enjoy
your first pint.
