Because the course is next to the sea there are frequent breezes, but they do not tend to be very strong and they help to cool the heat of the sun in the summer months. The secret to getting a good score probably lies in not making mistakes on the first and last holes, which are the most complicated of the course. The holes from the 5th to the 8th are the only ones which are not flat, although the fact that they are situated in the first half of the round and that the slope is not too steep means that they are not too tiring. There are not too many out-of-bounds on the course, but the trees which border the fairways can make it tricky to get a stray shot back on course. However, a stream on the 3rd and the presence of 4 small lakes on the second half of the round means that water does play an important part in the game. Unlike other courses, where the par-3’s are recovery holes, at Terramar the par-3’s are relatively long and complicated, and a bad shot to the green can cost you very dearly. However, apart from the 16th, the par-5’s are not excessively long or difficult, so they provide a good opportunity to get the game back on track.
