Ascochinga Golf Club
|
The ancient trees and the constant undulations of the terrain, typical of Ascochinga area, are
characteristics of this par 72 golf course, located 60 kilometres from the capital of Córdoba.
Of its 18 holes, nine belong to the first English-style layout, while the remaining nine were built
seven years ago, so this has turned it into a "partially modern" one, incorporated to the
traditional outline. That particular mixture is associated with the rich history of these lands, which
have been changing hands along the years. Ascochinga is a region of traditional families, full of noble
anecdotes and history, which makes it very interesting for cultural tourism.
On the course ground there is a combination of "bermuda" grass, which covers the fairways - fairly narrow, by
the way - and "tifway" grass in the greens. A distinctive quality of the latter is the degree of difficulty they
present, caused by the slopes and the location of the hazards. However, these hazards, due to their natural
beauty, are also worth seeing since they are a real delight, turning the
game into a very pleasant experience. The fact is that Ascochinga, besides its
historic richness, provides a charming green surrounding, ideal for outdoor activities and for contemplation.
