Spain Golf Courses

Rees Jones explains Santander Golf Course this way : My style emphasizes the definition. I spend much time thinking how to create in the player a feeling as he prepares each shot .I want the player to be able to visualize or imagine the shot immediately afterwards he sees the target. To do this I try, where possible, raise the tees; inclined fairways ; add bunkers and mounds; and carefully molding the greens. We use natural landscape features that seem to help stop the ball when slightly miss their target and to provide a greater variety of approach shots.
