Pacifico may not be one of the toughest golf course you'll every play, but you can bet it's one of the most enjoyable. The fairways are wide open and gently undulating; the landing areas more than generous; the approaches are tight. Thee greens are often small, undulating and tough to read.
Pacifico is a "what you see is what you get" kind of course. Yes, the views are stunning, but beware, things are not always what they seem. On most holes you can see the entire layout and the fairways are, indeed, wide open, but they are also fraught with danger: hundreds of cleverly placed bunkers will gather any slightly wayward shot, no matter which tee box you use, and they are deep with steep faces. The approaches to the greens are bottlenecks guarded on either side, and often to the rear, by deep-faced bunkers. Astute club selection and accuracy are the keys to carding a low score.
The First Hole
Play begins quietly with a moderately tough opening hole, a par 4 or 421 yards. No real surprises here; just keep away from those green-side bunkers.
