Villa Padierna Golf Club

Slighlty easier than Alferini but a good course also

Tricky course , but good fun and greens were nice & fast .

Welcome: - Distinctly lacking. We were the last to tee off and it felt like they didn’t want us there. - They closed the warm up range (which was sold as a nice perk as everyone playing the course had the opportunity to warm up there). - The guy on the reception didn’t even look up as we approached. Trying to obtain the keys for the buggies was way more complicated than needed, just a grunt and here they are. - We came straight from the airport so we’re assured there were lockers available, this wasn’t the case. Most had no keys so we just had to risk it. - post the round, we simply couldn’t get a drink as they prioritised the hotel guests and ignored us, so we just left! Course: - really varied but narrow! There had been heavy rain the day before and the greens were not in a good state, but to be expected.

You will be almost alone if you play here. Flamingos course is packed but Alferini has fearsome reputation and is empty. The 1st + 2nd confirm that reputation, very hard holes. It is easier up on the plateau but almost all greens are elevated and guarded by mahoosive bunker. Okay if you bomb 290 yds off tee otherwise, yep, hard. Closing few holes super hard. Proper big boys course. Unfortunately fairways were goat track dry and not good condition otherwise good and lovely club house.

Just to say this was an enjoyable experience, the set up of the course was excellent.

Not as good as we expected; course was in OK condition but lacked the finesse of the other courses we played.

Tees were in poor condition. Greens were excellent

Lovely course and a breeze after alferini

Brutal hut amazing experience, well positioned in middle of 3 rounds

After a lot of rain , terrible

Did nt like enough to return

good course would recommend

This was the third course we played after La Hacienda and La Zagaleta so we came into it a little spoilt. Overall its a decent course and nice to have played it but we wouldn't be longing to return. The bunkers were all in extremely poor condition due to the heavy rain on the previous days however no effort had been made to rake or fix them. The driving range was also out of order. The cart girl only came around once (after being phoned) and didn't have any sandwiches or baguettes. When we finished the golf around 5.00pm there was no food to be got in the clubhouse.

great experience

This course is too difficult for mid handicap players Very good condition but be prepared to lose balls even from decent shots Last hole is comical with a 180yd carry over a 300ft drop ravine

Tee boxes and greens not particularly well tended. Otherwise an enjoyable round.

Excellent course in a great setting.

Not supposed to let high handicap golfers on but we followed behind a couple of 4 balls who were dredfull . Ruined our round and we gave up after 14 holes. No marshalls on the corse and when we called the golf corse they did nothing , shame as it’s a absolute cracker of a corse

Driving range is 3 km away other than this what a corse and the club house is stunning

Not the best, course was a challenge but had far too many people playing waited around for buggies and marshalls didn't get the slow play sorted

Super

Very tough course

Very difficult course but it’s worth the lost balls for the views and the food in the restaurant afterwards. Brilliant place!

We want the play it again and again . We change Tramores golf to play flamingo

The all track is beautiful it’s just like art muséum

Very nice Course really nice lay out greens were in very good condition will definitely be back to play it again

Finding the right course was difficult . Signs very poor. One of the 3 courses involver a 3 km drive on a buggy to the start. Course was challenging , but fair. We didn't bother with the post match drink. Could see any typical bar. Getting in and out of the garage and dropping off clubs not easy.

Decided not to play this course and played Tramores instead.

Nice course, greens became very "used" by the end of each day. This is a public course and has nothing to do with the hotel which is a big shame.

Very enjoyable all round

average course

Excellent golf course, views are fantastic the condition of the course is very good. Thais is must course to add to a golf tour.

Played this course for a number of years and complained about it last year , once again the greens were POOR , will not be playing this course next year.

This course was a late substitute from our original choice due to ground maintenance on our original choice was not disappointed a testing course set in the mountains about 5 mins from hotel, very high class course which i would believe would be much more expensive in high season so the your golf travel team done well in getting this for the party , thank you to all

Golfing heaven. Played liked Seve too.

Didn't play this course as arrived on the Friday. Others liked it a lot.

Not played this course for a few year's, a bit fiddly in places. Greens were excellent.

A lovely course in every way and suits all handicaps.

Always a must play for our tour, condition is always excellent and offers a great experience. The OLD course can appear to some as long and difficult so not the ideal course for beginners.

Prices we saw suggest they are looking to pack golfers in[€120 for a round of golf and lunch]. Hence slow round and the course in very poor condition. Both of these were not helped by the number of 'hackers' on the course. On our first round the club ran out of golf buggies so when we came into return our buggy we were surrounded by frustrated golfers demanding to know how much battery life we had left. Got quite intimidating!! No sat nav on the buggy which for €45 is a joke. Played last year and it all seems to have got out of control both on and off the course. It was obvious that the golf staff were well stressed

A cracking test of golf, some very tough holes that require accurate shots from the tee, and some of the views are spectacular. I would recommend this to all golfers. Buggy is a must, and the free parking abit of a trek from the caddy master. There is nearer parking at the hotel for €1:80 per hour. In all a beautiful course.

Great course On day one we gave up after 13 holes as it would have been a 6 hour round No Marshall or course attendant in sight. Other 2 days were slowish with round times of 4 hours 35 minutes

A top golf course, well maintained and a good challenge. This is a course which should be on any tour list. Greens were smooth and quick and fairways were in good condition.

Our first experience at the course and we were not disappointed , plenty of water, a well laid out course , great staff ,nice club house , will play it next year.

Sum it up in 2 words "Absolute Beast". Long and oh so hard but with that worthwhile feeling afterwards. Such a tight course... take plenty of balls! One big downside was confusing and poorly signposted parking (it's underneath the Clubhouse) and it's not free! There are 3 courses on site and Alferini is considered the hardest and overall it is a fabulous complex
