The management of the Alhama Signature Golf Course have issued the following update:
Condado de Alhama 4th Dec 2023
Dear members,
I am writing to you as usual to keep you up to date with the latest events and news related to Alhama Signature Golf.
First of all, a big thank you to all the participants of the 1st Alhama Signature Golf Cup and especially to the captains of the Spanish team, Pedro Andreo, and of the Rest of the World team Jim Laird, to all the sponsors that with their contributions delighted the attendees in the raffle of gifts after the prize giving and during the barbecue, and to the Club’s employees, without them nothing would have been the same.
I want to highlight the degree of involvement, enthusiasm and spirit of competition that was breathed in the Club during the days before and the day of the tournament, impressive sportsmanship with which the clashes took place, I am very proud to have been part of this event. Although finally a draw was declared between the two teams I sincerely believe that we are all winners in this wonderful day of golf and friendship and it is my wish that this is the first of many confrontations and twinning between the different nationalities that live in one way or another in Condado de Alhama. We are fortunate to have such great sportsmen and better people playing at Alhama Signature Golf.
This year, the cup will stay 6 months at Clover (Rest of the World team headquarters) and 6 months at Alhama Signature Golf facilities.
Next year we will try to make the competition even better and extend it to more players and more sponsors. It was always my intention to create a social Club and not just run a golf course and I sincerely believe that Clubs are made great by the people who compose it and in that we are very lucky in Alhama Signature Golf. Thank you for your support and collaboration.
On the other hand, we face this month of December celebrating the last tournament of the year, The 1st Hickory Golf Christmas Tournament. We return to the beginnings of Golf with a tournament that will be played with Hickory clubs supplied by the organizer. The format will be Fourball Stableford, with a shotgun start at 9:30 am and Hickory golf clothing is required. Clubs will be supplied by the organiser at 8:30. Please find attached the tournament poster with all the information. After the tournament we will celebrate the awards ceremony, barbecue and gift raffle. I encourage you to participate, it will be a fun tournament with some surprises.
Regarding maintenance, during these weeks the following actions have been carried out:
– Cleaning of roads and pruning of the esparto grasses in the natural area to avoid their invasion on the paved roads. The process of repairing this natural area has begun in order to apply a treatment that will prevent runoff when heavy rains occur.
– Pruning and treatment of pine trees and other bushes, having acquired a machine for the application of these products that will prevent the processionary plague.
– Decompaction treatment of all the bunkers of the course, especially those of the greens, as well as the repair of bunkers and the contribution of 60,000 kg. of sand where it was most necessary. Repair of clogged drains.
– The perimeter fence has been repositioned and deterrent plants will be placed around the perimeter of the golf course.
– Removal of stones in the two improvised paths outside the Nicklaus project on hole 1, which detracted from the quality of the original design.
– The process of winter pigmentation has begun on all the fairways of the course.
– Installation of the safety net in the ball collecting buggy to avoid danger when collecting balls on the driving range.
With respect to the Restaurant, the improvement and rehabilitation of the facilities will continue during the next few weeks. On the other hand, breakfast and meals with a sports menu are being offered from 8:00 to 17:00 hours. In a few days we will be extending the kitchen hours for
dinners on Fridays and Saturdays from 17:30 to 20:00 hours during the winter, with a different menu, a mixture of Spanish and international cuisine. You can make your reservations by email, by WhatsApp or in person. Contact details will be sent to you in a few days.
Finally, I remain at your disposal for any questions or suggestions you may have.
On behalf of the entire Alhama Signature Golf team, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024
