Las Parotas

Las Parotas Club de Golf was acquired by the new owners in 2012 and the new owners quickly hired Agustin Piza to improve the course. The architect created a series of new holes. Golfers can now play on two greens, and play from two tees near ocean. Pacific Ocean.

The course is located in the stunning white sandy beach located in Tangolunda Bay, the course is comprised of two nine-hole circuits returning that both begin with a challenging par five hole, which has a total length of approximately 6,600 yards starting at the markers in the back.

The layout's highlight holes include the par 3 6th, which is played over a small pond, which leads to an a-like green, as well as that par-three 17th with a bigger body of water separating the left and front of a sand-covered green on a peninsula.

The hole with the most awe-inspiring name is the right-hand doglegging par four 13th. The fairway is swung straight from the tee, getting more narrow as it moves toward an Oceanside green, which is located close on the shore.
