Journey overview
The Hacienda Riquelme Golf golf course weaves is way through and around groves of olive trees, wildflower meadows, and large lakes. Taking advantage of the site's larger scale, the Hacienda Riquelme Golf features wider-than-average fairways allowing players plenty of room to play while creating numerous strategic options. The boldly contoured greens are sure to be the most talked about feature of the course. Many of the greens are broken into several sections by strong elevation changes making it crucial for golfers to play to the correct section of the green in order to set up the easiest putt possible. Additionally, the greens also feature numerous subtle random contours and rolls further complicating putting.
The unique bunkering creates a dramatic look sure to set Riquelme apart from other courses. Many of these large rugged bunkers are very deep with sand flashing in places up to three meters. The edges of the bunkers are cut in a jagged manner further adding to their distinctiveness while accenting the more rugged nature of the course.
This Nicklaus Design course has 18 holes, is par 72 and is larger than average. The fairways of the Hacienda Riquelme golf course run between Olive trees, wild flowers and 5 lakes. They are sown with the latest variety of Paspalum grass which has a high saline tolerance. This leads the grass to stay in tip top condition with less water.
