The course

Golf has been played here since 2007. There are twelve minutes between two tee times, which gives you more room than the usual interval. A buggy bar with drinks and snacks drives on the course. In 2026 a programme to upgrade the course ran together with Nicklaus Design.

All guests present a valid handicap certificate. The club recommends a handicap of no more than 28 for men and 36 for women. Soft spikes are compulsory. Young people under 18 may not drive a buggy.

Mirco’s tip

I would pack the handicap certificate for Monte Rei as a printout. If your handicap is above the recommendation of the club, you can ask the Director of Golf before booking.
