The Golf Course

Come and live on a golf course

Roda Golf & Beach Resort is constructed within an excellent 18-hole, par 72 golf course exclusively designed by Dave Thomas, one of the most prestigious European golf designers. The layout was created by combining different environments and working for a total adaptation to the Mediterranean landscape and vegetation. An entire golf course at your service, right in your back garden.

Golfers will find Roda Golf & Beach Resort the perfect spot to put their skills into practice. With all the convenience of being able to enjoy this magnificent sport any time you wish, just a few steps from your home.

The Golf Course Designer, DAVE THOMAS LIMITED, has been fortunate in this project to be able to import sufficient fill to change flat low lying ground into interesting and undulating golf terrain which we hope will be pleasing to the eye and challenging for the golfers. We have incorporated lakes into strategic parts of the golf course which optimise views from the hotel and country club as well as playing an important part in the golf design. Roda Golf & Beach Resort has quite rightly placed a great deal of emphasis on landscaping and tree planting and this has been integrated with considerable care in to the golf design. The construction specifications are of the highest standards and together with the experienced contractor DAVE THOMAS LIMITED looks forward to presenting Roda as a desirable golfing destination.

Hole 1 : Par 5 : 499 Metres

An opening drive designed to encourage positive attitude from the start. The bunker on the corner can be carried depending upon individual ability or played safely to the left. The elevated green is defined by the large bunker to the left hand side which extends down the fairway, making choice for the second shot important in the strategy of the hole. A good result will be encouraged by positive play.
 

Hole 2 : Par 3 : 206 Metres

This is a long and exacting par 3 early on in the round. A large bunker covers most of the right hand side of the green and again an elevated green means it is important for a well struck iron shot. Flag placements to the left of the green will look generous, although flags can be placed to the right side and look daunting next to the bunker.
 

Hole 3 : Par 4 : 402 Metres

The first of two demanding back to back par 4’s. An exacting drive is required between two bunkers on an elevated landing area. A medium to long iron approach shot to the raised platform green will be difficult for the amateur player particularly as the green is guarded by a very deep bunker to the left. While a good
player will be drawn to attacking the hole, the handicap player requires strategy.
 

Hole 4 : Par 4 : 402 Metres

An accurate tee shot from the elevated teeis necessary. Again, the landing area is protected with two bunkers which must be negotiated accurately. The second shot, again with a medium to long iron, must ne gotiate large bunkers in front of the green on the right hand side. Flag positions can be hidden behind difficult roles on the green, making this the hardest hole on the first nine holes.
 

Hole 5 : Par 5 : 438 Metres

A relatively short par 5 and a good birdie opportunity. A good drive must negotiate safely the big bunker on the left hand side. This will open up the green and encourage an attacking second or third shot for birdie opportunities.
 

Hole 6 : Par 4 : 370 Metres

A straight hole with everything there to see. It is important to hit the fairway as the green is surrounded by deep bunkers to the front and sides and role off valley to the back of the green. Although only a short par 4 it will have interesting challenges depending on the flag position.
 

Hole 7 : Par 3 : 176 Metres

An island green designed to intimidate and entice the golfer. A medium to short iron par 3 where accuracy is everything. The chance to put this in front of the clubhouse and hotel for the amusement and entertainment of those watching was too good an opportunity to miss.
 

Hole 8 : Par 4 : 329 Metres

A relatively easy par 4 with little trouble from the tee. However, all the problems are with the undulating green and the deep pot bunkers waiting to catch missed approach shots.

Hole 9 : Par 4 : 387 Metres

A classic golf hole design to complete the first 9 holes. The green can be seen from the distance, placed between mounds, bunkers and deep rough zone however the player must ignore the flag and play outo the left where the only trouble are two pot bunkers on the right hand side. The undulating green will provide interesting flag positions and difficult puts and the lake whic h sneaks into the left hand side of the green should not be ignored as a potential hazard.
 

Hole 10 : Par 5 : 443 Metres

The second nine holes is less aggressively mounded, although the same philosophy of play is relevant; aggressive and positive play will provide rewards. The open tee shot to this hole is generous with only a big bunker to the left being the golfers problem. However, the second and third shot become increasingly difficult with the several bunkers designed to catch inaccurate shots. A good opening hole to the
back nine with birdies a real possibility.
 

Hole 11 : Par 3 : 179 Metres

A medium iron par 3 to an elevated green played all across large bunker. The platform green is designed to help hold the tee shot, but any slight miss should role away to the back and right hand side. A good par 3.
 

Hole 12 : Par 4 : 307 Metres

A short par 4 with the green placed out into the lake. Aggressive play may give as many birdies as disasters. Strategy may be the best approach for this hole.
 

Hole 13 : Par 3 : 150 Metres

A straight forward par 3 in which accuracy and club selection is important for success. Not a very long par 3 which should encourage attacking play although care must be taken when the flag is placed near the waters edge.
 

Hole 14 : Par 4 : 321 Metres

A relatively straight forward par 4. A good drive to a generous fairway will leave the shortest of approach shots to the elevated green.
 

Hole 15 : Par 4 : 300 Metres

Another short par 4 which can be played strategically with an iron off the tee to a generous fairway or with more aggression to the green carrying the fairway bunkers. Again the elevated green may make it tricky but certainly birdies are a real opportunity.
 

Hole 16 : Par 4 : 451 Metres

Accuracy off the tee is important on this hole as the landing area is quite narrow. The green is guarded with two bunkers to the front, although club selection is important as the lake awaits for an over-hit on the second shot.

Hole 17 : Par 4 : 383 Metres

A relatively straight forward par 4 in which two good shots will give a good result. The tee shot has only two bunkers in the fairways to negotiate and the large undulating green guarded by a bunker on the left hand side.
 

Hole 18 : Par 5 : 484 Metres

A super par 5 to finish the golf course with. The tee shot must be played between two bunkers to a narrow landing area, although favouring the left hand side will give the best line to the green which is positioned across the lake. Hitting the green in two shots is definitely a possibility but accuracy is extremely important. A great matchplay hole to finish in which strategy becomes an important part of the way you play.
