THE BLONDE BUNKERS FACES OF ARCOS GARDENS

TRY 1.JPG


The blonde bunker faces of Arcos Gardens have arrived early this year.

This intentional effect is created to make a contrast between the bunker faces and the lush green over seeded fairways and roughs and we hope you like this as much as we do.

So how do we do it? Well the course as two different types of grass, the base grass is our summer grass and is called Bermuda 328. During the winter this grass goes dormant and turns golden. To prevent the entire course going golden we over seed the golf course during the winter with rye which is a dark green coloured cool season grass but we do not over seed the bunker faces. This year due to an unusual early cold snap which has seen us having several frosts the Bermuda has turned dormant much earlier.
During the spring the Bermuda grass wakes up again and this contrast disappears for another season.

We hope you enjoy our blonde bunkers faces the time you play!

SOLAR HALO COVERING THE PATIO OF OUR CORTIJO FAIN

Halo Solar en AG 005 01 - copia.JPG


The 15th of May surprises us with a spectacular view of a solar halo covering almost the whole extension of the patio.

The solar halo is conditioned by light refraction and light reflection of solar light when crashing with drops of water or, masses of cold air containing particles of ice.

Just Marvellous!
