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.
