play field combines the elements of wind, sea, and earth in perfect

Tierra del Sol Golf is all about respecting nature and indulging in the
calmness of the sea, the challenges of the wind and the braveness
of the rugged coastline. You will feel inspired by this landscape that
could easily function as an impressionist’s painting. Four sets of tees
per hole provide a variety of approach angles and challenge. The
Par View GPS yardage system offers a virtual view of the field to help
vacationing “pros” with their shots. It also allows for electronic scor-
ing, including leader board and track skins for groups. The facility also
features a full-length practice range, putting greens and chipping

and the Caribbean all at once. Whether you are a novice or avid
golfer, you will find the sensation of golf here truly exhilarating.

the birds and their nests making it a strong possibility for you as golfer
to bump into one. A nesting site consists of a pair of burrows. Shocos
