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!

Well known and respected in the hotel business, Willi Dietz brings to the project a wealth of experience, which he has gained from working at some of the most prestigious five star hotels, both in Spain and internationally. No stranger to the jet set, in the late 70’s he directed the then highly fashionable Las Brisas Hotel in Acapulco, which was listed in the Top Ten Hotels in the World at that time. This was followed by seven years at the Marbella Club & Puente Romano on Marbella’s Golden Mile in the heydays of the early 80’s, from where he later moved to set up the Jardín Tropical Hotel, which still ranks amongst the best in Tenerife. The next seven years took him to the five star hotels of Ciragan Palace Hotel in Istanbul, and the Corvinus Grand Hotel Kempinski in Budapest. He eventually returned to Spain in 1997 to direct the team at the beachside Kempinski Hotel in Estepona in preparation for its opening in 1999.
