Rio Real Golf Club Spain

Rio Real Golf Course Review

Hole 1 is a Par 4 at 317 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.15
Rio Real Golf Club starts with a straight forward Par 4. Aim your tee shot to the left of the tree in the centre of the fairway which will leave the second shot straight to the pin.

Hole 2 is a Par 4 at 353 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.11
Dog-leg right so stay left of the fairway and this will leave a simple shot to the green that is protected by three bunkers.

Hole 3 is a Par 3 at 137 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.18
You need to be long, over the flag, rather than short as there is a large river directly in front of the green. Straight is good as well to avoid large bunkers either side of the green.

Hole 4 is a Par 4 at 392 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.4
You know cross under the motorway and play down towards the Mediterranean Sea so expect the wind top creep up a bit. It’s a slight dog-leg left with bunkers either side of the fairway. The windswept green is guarded by bunkers on the left, right and at the rear.

Hole 5 is a Par 4 at 383 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.6
You should now have the sea breeze behind you and you need some length on this hole as the second shot needs to carry over the river again. Keep the tee shot left of the fairway as there is a mound on the right side that hides the green.

Hole 6 is a Par 3 at 164 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.13
Club selection is crucial here as you cannot afford to be short as you tee off over a valley. Do not stray right either as there is a very unfriendly bunker there.

Hole 7 is a Par 5 at 443 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.2
Elevated tee short and a dog-leg left. Don’t be too brash here as there are some fairly dense pine trees to the left. Keep right off the fairway which will make your approach shot easier to the green.

Hole 8 is a Par 4 at 398 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.7
Try and keep left of the fairway on this hole as it’s an easier approach to the green and there are two bunkers on the left side. The green is elevated and very small so be precise.

Hole 9 is a Par 5 at 457 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.9
Fairly flat Par 5. Play down the left side as the right side has lots of trees. Three big bunkers greenside to grab your attention.

Hole 10 is a Par 4 at 330 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.8
A very vicious dog leg where you have two options! Option 1, play over the pine trees as the green is only 210 metres (approx) away. Option 2, Play it short and straight and go for the green on your third shot.

Hole 11 is a Par 4 at 336 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.12
A very elevated tee with some superb views. Put your tee shot nice and central and you will have a clear view of the green. Take an extra club as anything too shot will end up in the river.

Hole 12 is a Par 3 at 156 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.14
This is the best Par 3 at Rio Real. A huge lake wraps around the green from back to front and you need to be deadly accurate into this long green.

Hole 13 is a Par 5 at 511 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.3
Tee off across the lake that just scared the hell out of you but its only a 100 yard carry. Stay right on your tee shot and left on your second shot and this will give you a better angle into the green.

Hole 14 is a Par 3 at 168 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.16
The last Par 3 at Rio Real is fairly straight forward. However, try and aim right of the fairway as there is a big drop off on the left hand side.

Hole 15 is a Par 4 at 418 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.5
Tree lined fairway which needs an accurate tee short. There are three large bunkers at the green which also need to be avoided.

Hole 16 is a Par 5 at 502 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.1
Stroke index one at Rio Real is a punishing Par 5. Tree lined fairways that also have hidden bunkers between the trees. Accuracy and patience required to reach the green that has three large bunkers guarding it.

Hole 17 is a Par 4 at 321 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.17
Probably the best chance of a birdie here than any other Par 4 on Rio Real. Just watch out for the four bunkers either side and a little short of the green.

Hole 18 is a Par 4 at 369 (Metres) from the White Tees and S.I.10
The closing hole at Real Golf Club is a lot tougher than the stroke index suggests. The green is hidden over on the right and you must keep you tee shot left but don’t over hit as it will be swallowed by the bunkers. The green is elevated so club selection is crucial.
