Conchal Melia
The Conchal course is a beachside
course that takes on a very traditional style of
golf course based on 2 lots of 9 hole courses tat
both start from the clubhouse to make up the 18
holes. Some of the holes offer fantastic views of
the ocean and with the addition of several lagoons
and lakes, it adds to the special golfing experience
of this course as well as providing outlets for
good drainage keeping the course at its driest at
the wettest of times.
The course has spacious fairways
and a variety of different teeing options combined
with the seasonal sea breezes, this course offers
a different challenge every time you step foot on
to the greens. It can prove to be very challenging
at times despite its overall general fantastic playability.
