The Estela Golf Course stretches over almost 7,000 yards, with a par of 72, a 72.7 Course Rating and a 131 Slope Rating. With it's narrow fairways in the landing areas, all pressure is placed in the tee shot. There are few fairway bunkers in the course, simply because they are not needed. If you fail a fairway at Estela, the dunes will welcome you.
Some holes have wonderful views over the Atlantic while facing forward and over the mountains while facing backwards, especially in the first nine.
The course begins with a short par five, which can be reached in two strokes as long as your tee shot reaches the tee's fairway. A nice par 3 with 164 yards follows, but there is no rest from here on.
The 3rd, a par 4 with 457 yards, is the most difficult hole in the course and the 4th is the best of the short holes. From the back tee, elevated, it's 196 yards over a valley to an elevated green with the ocean by the left and a pit by the right.
The 5th goes to the farthest point before the difficult battle of returning to the clubhouse begins. From the 6th until the end of the first nine, the Estela presents a series of the most difficult driving holes that you can find anywhere.
