It was built in 1976 and forms part of a complex which includes two four-star hotels, apartments, other sports facilities and a yachting marina. The original course was designed by Rob Kirby and Gary Player, and consists of 18 holes with a par of 72, featuring wide fairways flanked by leafy trees, which not only provide pleasant shade in summer but also make it considerably more difficult to reach the flag. The greens are wide and fast, and protected by huge bunkers. A large number of the holes are affected by water hazards which protect the greens. The par-3 12th requires a spectacular shot to carry the ball 100 metres over the water to reach the island. | | | _ | | _ | | | Located in a beautiful valley in the mountains of Vicar, La Envia Golf and Country Club is surrounded by mountains which protect the 18 hole golf course from East and West winds, creating superb golfing conditions.
