Wider Pine-Lined Fairways, Strategic Lakes & Thrilling Risk-Reward Golf by Ángel Gallardo & Neil Coles

Opened in 2005 by co-designers Ángel Gallardo and Neil Coles MBE at our 2031 Ryder Cup host resort, the Tour Course is the ideal strategic counterpart to the Stadium Course. Shorter off the tee yet featuring five par 5s and five par 3s, it winds through groves of umbrella pines and around seven shimmering lakes — rewarding bold shot-makers with birdie opportunities.

Signature Holes & Course Strategy

  • Hole 6 (Par 5, 516m): The Tour Course's signature hole winding between twin lakes to an island-style green complex — scene of countless decisive swings at Q-School.
  • Hole 11 (Par 4, 342m): Classic short par 4 offering the choice to lay back short of fairway bunkers or attack the narrow neck with driver.
  • Hole 15 (Par 5, 492m): Reachable par 5 where water guards the entire left flank and wraps in front of a receptive putting surface.
  • Hole 18 (Par 5, 512m): Memorable closing par 5 with water protecting the tiered finishing green directly in front of The Clubhouse terrace.

DP World Tour Q-School Co-Host

Championship Heritage & Immaculate Year-Round Conditioning

Every autumn, the Tour Course co-hosts the gruelling six-round DP World Tour Qualifying School Final Stage. With gentler elevation changes than the Stadium Course, it is a joy to walk with an electric trolley while still demanding precise distance control into water-guarded pins.

Like the Stadium Course, the Tour Course is 100% irrigated with recycled water and maintained under GEO Foundation ecological standards.
