Golf - Oliva Nova
‘Oliva Nova is the ideal retreat for players at every level’
– Severiano Ballesteros
Oliva Nova is a links-style Par 72/6270m PGA Championship course designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The course is highly appreciated by professional golfers throughout Europe for its top class golf and exclusive residential atmosphere.
Water hazards are a predominant feature on many holes. Fast undulating greens and well protected bunkers add to the challenge. When the on shore winds come up you will need all your skills. This is an excellent club golfers’ course - flat, easy to get around and fair. There are often several ways to play each hole - a factor attributed to the course’s enigmatic designer, Seve Ballesteros. He has turned a relatively flat terrain into an exciting golf course. The length and pace of the holes have you clubbing with every option, again a feature of clever design.
The 6th is a demanding long par 3 with a big bunker on the left and a ditch in front. At the 8th, a reasonable par 5, beware of the water in the front and right of the green. The 15th is the toughest hole on the course, a long par 4 with water creeping on the left. A good drive that clears the left bunker will be the best method to attack the green, but aim at the right half to avoid the lake.
