VILANOVA Hole 1

Distance: 51mts

Handicap: 18

EPPA Distance: 51mts

Handicap EPPA: 17

Short hole. This one is a slopy green so it could be hard to make a three if the green is missed. There is a bunker in the short-left side of the green that can cause trouble if the pin is placed right behind it.

VILANOVA Hole 2

Distancia: 113mts

Handicap: 7

Distancia EPPA: 67mts

Handicap EPPA: 16

Long downhill hole. There is an out of bounds on the left side and a thick rough if the player goes way right. Almost a flat green for an easy up and down.

VILANOVA Hole 3

Distancia: 80mts

Handicap: 16

Distancia EPPA: 72mts

Handicap EPPA: 9

Hole next to the bathrooms and the vending machines if the player wants to have a little break. This hole has a narrow water hazard just in front of the tee, which is very easy to carry. Also, the players need to watch out for the trees behind the green.

VILANOVA Hole 4

Distancia: 59mts

Handicap: 15

Distancia EPPA: 59mts

Handicap EPPA: 12

Short but tricky hole. There is a tree close to the tee that the player needs to play over to hit the green. Water hazard long of the green if the player hits it a tad too long. The green breaks towards the fairway.

VILANOVA Hole 5

Distancia: 68mts

Handicap: 17

Distancia EPPA: 68mts

Handicap EPPA: 10

Easy medium distance hole. No problem unless the players goes behind the green. Tough downhill up and down if that happens.

VILANOVA Hole 6

Distancia: 82mts

Handicap: 10

Distancia EPPA: 82mts

Handicap EPPA: 13

Easy downhill hole where the rough is the biggest problem. Two trees on the right can come into play if a big slice is hit. Lots of space before and after the green. Out of bounds way left of the hole.

VILANOVA Hole 7

Distancia: 74mts

Handicap: 13

Distancia EPPA: 45mts

Handicap EPPA: 15

This hole requires precision off the tee. The out of bounds is just behind the green, so the player can be tricked psychologically by this. Most players miss the green short to avoid the OB. Easy green that breaks right to left.

VILANOVA Hole 8

Distancia: 62mts

Handicap: 6

Distancia EPPA: 62mts

Handicap EPPA: 11

Short and easy hole. Statisctically one of the holes where most birdies are made. Big green and wide fairway. A bunker on the short-left side is teh biggest threat.

VILANOVA Hole 9

Distancia: 45mts

Handicap: 9

Distancia EPPA: 45mts

Handicap EPPA: 6

Shortest hole of the course but not necessarily the easiest. Slopy right to left green and out of bounds behind it. Also there is a tree in the middle of the fairway that has to be played over.

VILANOVA Hole 10

Distancia: 81mts

Handicap: 5

Distancia EPPA: 62mts

Handicap EPPA: 2

Tough hole because of the water hazard that crosses the hole just short of the green. The player needs to make sure to have enough club to carry it. Although, the chip behind the green is downhill towards the hazard so it is still a dangerous shot.

VILANOVA Hole 11

Distancia: 72mts

Handicap: 12

Distancia EPPA: 72mts

Handicap EPPA: 8

Hole with a lake. Altough it is only 50 yards to carry it, players often get scared by it. Uphill green that is hard to hit. Wind usually makes this hole longer.

VILANOVA Hole 12

Distancia: 79mts

Handicap: 14

Distancia EPPA: 79mts

Handicap EPPA: 4

Downhill hole where is hard to judge the distance. Tough chip from behind the green, with a water hazard left of the green. The green breaks quite a bit right to left towards the water.

VILANOVA Hole 13

Distancia: 65mts

Handicap: 8

Distancia EPPA: 65mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

This hole is also hard to judge. The player can´t see the green off the tee because of the upslope. Short hole defended by a bunker before the green and trees behind it. This one is probably the hardest green to read of the course.

VILANOVA Hole 14

Distancia: 120mts

Handicap: 2

Distancia EPPA: 53mts

Handicap EPPA: 18

One of the toughest holes of the course because of its distance and the out of bounds left of the hole. We find rough on the right side of the green, but it is not a difficult recovery.

VILANOVA Hole 15

Distancia: 74mts

Handicap: 1

Distancia EPPA: 74mts

Handicap EPPA: 7

Uphill hole that has a big slope before the green, so if the player misses as little as one meter short, the ball will probably roll back around 10 more meters. The chip after that will be very hard. The best strategy is to go a little long of the green, where the recovery is quite easy.

VILANOVA Hole 16

Distancia: 80mts

Handicap: 3

Distancia EPPA: 80mts

Handicap EPPA: 3

The main difficulty of this hole is the green. Big break left to right that might make the ball go off the green. It is quite hard to stop any chip from the left side of this green. The miss on the right side has an easy uphill chip or putt.

VILANOVA Hole 17

Distancia: 86mts

Handicap: 11

Distancia EPPA: 50mts

Handicap EPPA: 14

Medium distance hole where the trees behind the green can complicate the chip. Also, the green is a little bit uphill so the player will have to count with that. The green is quite flat.

VILANOVA Hole 18

Distancia: 118mts

Handicap: 4

Distancia EPPA: 73mts

Handicap EPPA: 5

Beautiful but tough and long hole to finish the round. An out of bounds on the left side and a big slope right of the fairway can put some pressure on this last hole. Green without much break.

VALLROMANES Hole 1 

Distancia: 54mts

Handicap: 18

Distancia EPPA: 54mts

Handicap EPPA: 4

Short downhill hole that needs a lot of precision of the tee. This small green is surrounded by a water hazard before it and thick rough behind it. Harder than it looks. The green breaks towards the water hazard.

VALLROMANES Hole 2

Distancia: 88mts

Handicap: 7

Distancia EPPA: 88mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Uphill hole with an out of bounds on the right side and a deep bunker on the left side. It is common to end up short fo the green since the slope of the hole usually tricks the first-time player.

VALLROMANES Hole 3

Distancia: 46mts

Handicap: 16

Distancia EPPA: 45mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Easiest hole of the course. Major threat of the course is the left side bunker. Good birdie chance.

VALLROMANES Hole 4

Distancia: 68mts

Handicap: 15

Distancia EPPA: 69mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Difficult tee shot since there are some tree branches to sort out right next to the tee. Low visibility hole that has a long green with little break.

VALLROMANES Hole 5

Distancia: 77mts

Handicap: 17

Distancia EPPA: 77mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Toughest hole on the course. Downhill hole with trees on the right that come into play. On the left side, we find a water hazard quite close to the green. Green breaks hard right to left. We recommend to hit either a shot over the trees or a low ball that bounces before the green and rolls in.

VALLROMANES Hole 6 

Distancia: 89mts

Handicap: 10

Distancia EPPA: 89mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Medium distance where the tee shot needs to carry a small lake to find the green. We find a bunker on the far right side. Wide green with a left to right break.

VALLROMANES Hole 7

Distancia: 76mts

Handicap: 13

Distancia EPPA: 76mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

The biggest threat of this hole is found on the right side, where we find a water hazard that follows the hole until the green. The left side is the safe zone in this hole. The green is quite flat.

VALLROMANES Hole 8

Distancia: 77mts

Handicap: 6

Distancia EPPA: 77mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Easier that in looks. The tree and the bunker don’t come into play as much as it seems, although they can affect the players nerves. The green breaks left to right.

 VALLROMANES Hole 9

Distancia: 69mts

Handicap: 9

Distancia EPPA: 69mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

This tee shot requires a high shot in order to fly over the trees in front of the tee. If the player feels a bit more conservative they can play left of the trees to try and hit the left side of the green for an easy par. There is a bunker behind the green.

VALLROMANES Hole 10

Distancia: 43mts

Handicap: 5

Distancia EPPA: 43mts

Handicap EPPA: 4

Short downhill hole with the small green. More relaxed than that of hole 1, where the green’s short danger has more visual impact on the player. There is more green where to bounce the ball.

 VALLROMANES Hole 11

Distancia: 65mts

Handicap: 12

Distancia EPPA: 65mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Uphill hole with a dangerous bunker on the left. The safe zone is on the right, where the out of bounds exists but far from the Green.

VALLROMANES Hole 12

Distancia: 63mts

Handicap: 14

Distancia EPPA: 63mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Short and open hole. The dense thickets that accompany the hole on the right and some branches near the tee can disturb the player. There is a bunker to the left of the hole. The green breaks towards the tee.

VALLROMANES Hole 13

Distancia: 103mts

Handicap: 8

Distancia EPPA: 103mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Long hole with danger on the right, where there is a large slope that takes the ball to the forest where it is possible to lose it. On the left there is a bunker, but it is the good area to fail. Long green and with a break towards the end of the green at the beginning.

VALLROMANES Hole 14

Distancia: 67mts

Handicap: 2

Distancia EPPA: 67mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

The trees on the right do not come into play as much as in hole 5 because the tee is at a lower height but must still be taken into account. The stream comes into play more from this position, especially to the left of the Green and past the Green.

VALLROMANES Hole 15

Distancia: 64mts

Handicap: 1

Distancia EPPA: 64mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Trees on the right and a bunker defending the Green are the obstacles that must be overcome in this hole. Short hole but forces the ball to acquire a minimum height if you want to be aggressive. Break of the Green from left to right.

VALLROMANES Hole 16

Distancia: 100mts

Handicap: 3

Distancia EPPA: 100mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Long hole with two trees that can touch the ball if it does not have the necessary height. The hazard on the right accompanies us all the hole and makes the left of the Green the safe area of the hole.

VALLROMANES Hole 17

Distancia: 55mts

Handicap: 11

Distancia EPPA: 55mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

The trees on the left come into play a lot but they are easy to fly since the tee is high. There is a bunker and a big tree to the right of the hole but they affect a lot psychologically. Green with general break from left to right.

VALLROMANES Hole 18

Distancia: 107mts

Handicap: 4

Distancia EPPA: 107mts

Handicap EPPA: 1

Long hole with out of bounds to the right as the most dangerous obstacle. In addition there is a bunker past the Green and a tree on the right side of the fairway that can touch the ball if it does not go through the center of the hole. One of the most difficult holes in the course.
