The 18 hole Las
Terrazas de La Torre golf course is currently in
the planning and design stage. A desert style
has been the initial choice, full of native
plants and bushes. The inclusion of palm trees
into the landscape will give the course an
elegant touch, with reminiscences of those
designed by Nicklaus at Lake in Las Vegas.
A very unique golf course at Terrazas de la
Torre will soon be taking its place among the
growing list of exciting courses along the
Nicklaus Golf Trail. While this is a desert-style
golf course, the course relies on many of the
features of the links golf courses of the
British Isles to define it look and character.
The course is very lightly bunkered and
willinstead rely on its dramatic rolling fairway
and green undulations to provide its challenge.
The golf course will be designed to play firm
and fast and players will probably find better
results by playing their shots low along the
ground. The fairways will snake through the
desert dune-like features resulting in numerous
interesting angles and strategic options.
Additionally, the course will come to a
thrilling finish as both the ninth and
eighteenth holes play around the edge of a six
hectare lake. Terrazas de la Torre is sure to
become a highlight of the Nicklaus Golf Trail.
