On Saturday 2 April our course held the first tournament after our reopening in October, after a break of a few months, and we couldn´t be more pleased with the result.
The weather accompanied us and the 120 players were able to enjoy an unrivalled day of sport, making it clear that local golfers started with a big advantage due to the distinctiveness and good condition of our course.
The rankings were quite spread out, therefore the circuit looks promising this year, after its great welcome.
