Golf Course 2 at Costa Esuri is opening today, Thursday 17th June 2008.

At least that is the official word but having seen delays after such previous announcements, until the first ball is hit I’ll reserve judgement!

It will be 5 weeks until I get my first round so I’d really welcome a review or comments from anyone that plays the course in the meantime.

I guess, following Tiger Woods withdrawal from competition for the rest of the season we’ll not be getting his review!

The 2nd golf course at Costa Esuri is reportedly due to open at the end of February 2008. When I last saw the course at the end of summer it was looking good. It is very different from the first course:  since it seems to meander amongst various areas of the development making the fairways look tighter than course one, which is much more open, particularly the front 9.

I’m really looking forward to trying it out as soon as possible.

I’ve also heard that the big commercial centre at the entrance to Costa Esuri is scheduled to open in May 2008 - my guess is the paint will still be drying but we’ll see!!

Don’t forget I’m now taking bookings for my 2 bedroomed apartment and until the commercial centre opens in May there are discounts for any period. Could be a great opportunity o get some low cosat golf in - and maybe try the 2nd Costa Esuri Golf Course as soon as it is open. Visit Costa De La Luz Golf Holiday for more details.

I’m just back from a brilliant two week holiday in my apartment at Costa Esuri.

There’s much to tell you which I’ll do over the coming week but just to let you know I’ve added a whole batch of photographs to the Images section, including many of the Costa Esuri Golf Course.

The weather was brilliant sunshine for 2 solid weeks, my apartment’s snags have all been sorted and I could really relax for the firtst time.

The Golf Club house is now fully open - I really like it - good feel and food (the only drawback was one of the staff was on holiday - just at the busiest time!!) but I can forgive that as I sit with a cool beer in the warm evening sun overlooking the driving range.

We found loads of great beaches, some just across the bridge in Portugal and even enjoyed a day trip to Seville. I say even because cities are not normally my kids’ idea of fun but a trip in an open top bus and a horse and carriage ride kept them happy!

I’ve just posted a few recent photos of the Costa Esuri Golf Course on Flickr which should now show up in the frame on the blog. Several were taken when the light wasn’t very good so are a little dark. I haven’t quite got my bearings on the course layout yet so haven’t labelled them - next time!

Although I didn’t have time to play myself this time the reports on the course are very good. The greens are excellent and although the areas near the pathways are a bit patchy a bit of growth over the next few months will improve this no end. The wind comes into play on several holes, particular those towards the river, and some of the par 3s are a challenge at around 200 yards. Here’s the scorecard (not mine!!) but don’t forget these are metres not yards.
