Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course in Costa del Sol implements new technology in their bunkers

Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course

Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course

Recently, DecoGrass has installed a bunker in the Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course with the technology developed and used in clubs such as Club de Golf La Cañada, Real Club La Moraleja and Arcosur Golf Course.

After studying and analyzing different construction methods, they decided to use this technology because it is one of the best options to solve the problems derived from bunkers.

For the development of this material, the experience with the artificial grass on the putting green projects developed at Club de Golf La Cañada and Arcosur Golf marked the starting point but always taking into account that the demands or requirements that the base are different. While in the putting green the rolling or the absorption of the impact of the ball is the most important, in this case, it is to improve the drainage capacity by avoiding the displacement or runoff of the sand and the contamination of the same.

The key to the material developed by Decograss is the research that has been carried out to improve the water evacuation capacity depending on the surface of the bunker and to be able to adapt it to the climate of the area in which the golf course is located.

DecoGrass, being a company specialized in this type of system, has specific facilities, personnel and machinery and, above all, a long process of development and investment to achieve the best quality in this type of work. An example of this is the success achieved more than a year ago at the La Cañada golf course by installing this system in the bunkers of nine of its holes. The result was total satisfaction on the part of the club and bunkers that present, to this day, perfect playing conditions, regardless of the weather conditions.

Tee Times Golf Agency remember that Real Club Sotogrande Golf course is often voted to be among the top ten golf courses in Europe as the holes 7 and 12 have special relevance, were considered two of the best holes in the World by GOLF MAGAZINE’s publishers.

Lo Romero Golf Course. Costa Blanca and Valencian Community's golf courses reopen on the 1st of March after 40 days of forced closure

Costa Blanca and Valencian Community

The Costa Blanca and the Valencian Community’s golf courses reopened on 1st of March after the new resolution of the Universal Health Department & Public Health of Valencian on the “new measures as a result of the health crisis caused by COVID -19 ”in the DOGV, although some of them will wait until Tuesday, March 2, as they are completing maintenance works and improvements on the greens that had been undertaken taking advantage of this forced stop.

It should be remembered that the 36 golf courses, 21 golf courses on the Costa Blanca and 15 golf courses in the rest of the Valencian Community, like, La Finca, Lo Romero, Villaitana Levante & Poniente, El Valle, Mar Menor, Alenda, Alicante, Altea, Font del Llop, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, Las Ramblas, Villamartin, Altorreal, La Manga Club Resort North, South & West, Roda, Campoamor, El Plantio, La Sella, among others were forced to close on January 21st after the decree issued by the Universal Health Department & Public Health of Valencian as a result of the health situation caused by COVID-19.

This forced closure has been a drama for the golf courses of the Costa Blanca and the Valencian Community since they have had to continue paying the enormous daily maintenance costs, while in the rest of the country all the golf courses could remain open.
Once the reopening of the Costa Blanca and the Valencian Community golf courses has been announced, as well as the rest of the outdoor sports activities that meet safety criteria, the great objective of resuming the activity and all the efforts of the sector has been achieved. They are oriented and prepare for the next challenges such as the gradual opening of the airspace and the future arrival of golf tourists to the destination.

Tee Times Golf Agency publishes these reopenings with great enthusiasm, wishing that very soon we all will be able to play freely and amicably on these and all the golf courses.
For a safe, harmonious and relaxing return to the Costa Blanca and Valencia, we suggest our atractive golf packages at the hotels: Principe Felipe La Manga *****, Sercotel Hotel Bonalba Alicante ****, Dna Monse ****, The Residences Mar Smaller ***.
From golf packages for 3 nights accommodation + 2 rounds, 4 nights accommodation + 3 rounds, 5 nights accommodation + 4 rounds, 7 nights accommodation + 5 rounds up to special professional golf packages for 7 nights accommodation + 6 rounds or others elaborated according to the budget or desire of each client or group.

Share your dream with us and we will make it happen.

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club continues to develop a sustainability strategy with concrete actions linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club joins the objectives set by the United Nations, necessary to build a better world from a social, environmental and economic perspective, developing a sustainability strategy with concrete actions linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Water is a scarce and indispensable resource for life and is at the epicentre of sustainable development. For this reason, at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club the consumption of water is reduced by using recycled water for irrigation, both on the golf course and in common green areas. The wastewater generated in homes and offices is treated in its treatment plant, where regenerated water of sufficient quality is obtained for reuse in the irrigation of green areas. Additionally, to irrigate the golf areas in a more efficient way, intelligent bases are used for centralized irrigation control and automatic measurement equipment to measure the pH of the water and optimize its consumption.

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is located in a high-quality natural environment in which the special protection area for the birds of the Sierra de Escalona and Dehesa de Campoamor stands out. A great variety of fauna lives there, from birds with striking plumage, such as hoopoe or bee-eaters, to protected birds of prey such as Bonelli’s eagle or eagle owl. As part of the efforts to preserve biodiversity, the complex has the continued presence of an environmental professional who provides expert advice.

Its landscaped trails among native vegetation allow you to enjoy 200,000 m2 of a natural area. All the plant species in the golf area are being progressively replaced by native varieties, with adequate maintenance and water consumption. Also, to reduce the volume of organic waste generated, pruning remains are reused for mulching of green areas of the complex.

In energy matters, as evidence of the commitment in the fight against climate change and the reduction of its carbon footprint, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club has opted for renewable sources of energy, so that all the contracted electrical energy has a Certificate of 100% Renewable Origin Guarantee. Also, measures are being implemented to reduce energy consumption linked to lightings, such as the replacement of existing luminaires with LED bulbs or the installation of automatic control systems to reduce energy consumption linked to lighting.

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is intrinsically linked to the practice of sport and contact with nature, aspects that today more than ever are very much on the rise due to the benefits they bring to people’s health and well-being.

Due to its natural beauty and concern for the environment, this resort has been in great demand by Tee Times Golf Agency‘s customers and we have the pleasure to offer diverse packages for the greatest satisfaction of all.

To better enjoy Las Colinas Golf & Country Club villas and their exclusive apartments with modern designs located in a unique environment, we suggest the self-catering packages: 3 nights & 2 rounds with a special price for groups of more than 6 players, 3 nights & 2 rounds for less than 6 players, 5 nights & 3 rounds, 7 nights & 5 rounds and for a long stay to enjoy even more this magnificent resort we have the great package for 28 nights & 16 rounds.
Not forgetting the simple green fees for 18 holes with or without a buggy.
