Without them, his work would not make any sense. He thanks to all of them and with a special mention to Jose Luis<\/strong>. Because he makes the small battles of daily maintenance easily bearable.<\/p>\n

For Borja, the set of our four par 3 holes are very technical, alternating short and long ones. They are also very entertaining, because of their shape and the added difficulty of their hazards. In addition, they have especially beautiful locations. That is why they are their favorite holes, along with the Signature Hole, hole 18.<\/p>\n

 Borja\u2019s day to day challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ultimate goal is to satisfy both members and visitors. In addition to always maintaining the golf course in perfect conditions for both players. At present, he has a handicap 6, which is another of his personal challenges. To bring his current handicap to 3 again.<\/p>\n
