Above you can see the picture of Bernd Schuster with two members of the staff at Arcos Gardens.

The 17th November 2007, Arcos Gardens received the visit of Bernd Schuster and his friend Jorge Kauffman who enjoyed a wonderful day of golf.

Bernd Schuster is currently the official coach of Real Madrid and he is also a golf lover and enjoys playing golf with friends in his free time.

We hope to see him back soon.

Another win for Ewan Maloney Cavero.

This 10 years old boy made an excellent result in one of the latest stages of the Pequecircuito celebrated in Alhaurín the 17th of November 2007. He managed to shoot 1 over par on the 9 hole par 3 course, he had five bogeys and four birdies. Amazing result considering his age!

The final will be played the 15th of December in La Resina. The team of Arcos Gardens wish him the best of luck!

Congratulations Ewan!

Arcos Gardens was chosen by the English Elite Squad from 12th to 15th November for their winter training. The team only played one round of golf instead choosing to spend most of their time on the practice area.

We look forward to see them again next January!

Good weather forecasted for this important week at Arcos Gardens.

Today the players are out preparing themselves for the tournament starting tomorrow.
Although the sun is shining, the local Levante wind is set to blow which will surely test these elite players.

We wish them good luck!

Arcos Gardens has recently started up a new junior golf academy in cooperation with the town hall of Arcos de la Frontera. The objective with the academy is to give children of Arcos equal opportunities to start playing golf (the academy is free of charge). Children that shows interest for the game, good behaviour and keep their grades in school can in the future get a handicap and access to Arcos Gardens golf course.
