The course has two clearly defined parts. The first 9 holes are **British-style** with narrow fairways and raised greens. **The 4th** is a beautiful par-4 hole affording stunning views but whose difficulty may be felt on players’ score cards. The final 9 holes with their wide fairways are, on the other hand, somewhat easier, though they do present difficulties elsewhere. **Hole 17 best defines this part of the course**. With stunning views, the par-3 has an elevated tee and no fairway as such, posing a challenge for all levels of player. ![Hole 17, La Duquesa Golf ](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CDS%20-%20blogpost%20129%20c.jpg?width=730&name=CDS%20-%20blogpost%20129%20c.jpg) Source: La Duquesa Golf Club   **Several hundred olive trees** have been planted throughout La Duquesa golf course in Manilva, bringing a Mediterranean touch to the course.
