TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GOLF COURSE
- 18 holes; 72 par: 5 par 5 holes and 5
par 3 holes; remaining 8 holes are par 4.
- 6 269 linear meters of trajectory between
the First Tee or starting point and Green
18.
Three golfing architectures have been
combined:
1. Classic design, broad roads bordered
by trees, wide and scarcely protected greens.
2. Challenging or Target Golf design, modern
style with narrow roads and heavily protected
greens surrounded by sand traps and lakes.
The Varadero Golf Course has several salt
water lakes that connect directly with the
sea, a feature that makes it almost unique
worldwide.
3. Links design, with holes located alongside
the sea following the shoreline, introducing
the ocean as another obstacle in the game.
Due to its configuration, the course is
divided into two distinct areas. A first
round from holes one to nine, that can be
considered slightly easier, and a second
round, from holes 10 to 18, where holes
11, 15. 16. 17 and 18 stand out for their
individual complexity. This allows golf
players to combine all the technical elements
of the game with the beauty, peacefulness
and quiet of the surroundings. Our Golf
Club continues expanding its most ambitious
golf facilities projects by opening the
first golf academy operated by PGA professionals
and instructors from the Cuban Golf Federation.
Practice areas (300 meters for long games,
2 putting greens, 1 shipping green, 2 bunkers)
are structured to allow for instruction
to be imparted indoors, including the use
of accessories, golf clubs and practice
balls. Anyone interested in taking up this
fascinating sport may learn its secrets
attend one hour sessions that start at 9:00
a.m. with a maximum of four students per
instructor.
The Golf Academy has designed various programs
following international sports guidelines,
rules and ethics, open to all professionals
and students who wish to enjoy this fascinating
game amidst breathtaking beaches and our
wonderful culture.
The Club House of the Varadero Golf Club
has a golf players´ reception at the
Caddie House, also including a Pro Shop
and Snack Bar.
We have facilities and experience in organizing
international golf tournaments.
We have hosted two European Challenge Tour
Grand Finals (1999 and 2000).
