Golf Courses
Gloria Golf Club is home to excellent courses:
- Old Course - A classic woodland-style design lined with mature pines and peppered with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. Narrow fairways and fast greens demand accuracy and thoughtful play, making it a favourite among low-handicap golfers and a regular host of international tournaments.
- New Course - Slightly more forgiving than the Old, the New Course features wider fairways and a modern layout that still offers plenty of challenge with its signature bunkering and seven freshwater lakes. The perfect complement to the Old Course, it provides a balanced test for all abilities.
- Verde Course - An impeccably maintained 9-hole layout that’s great for a warm-up, practice round, or a quick game. Despite its size, the Verde Course still offers a technical and rewarding experience – ideal for improving your short game or fitting in extra holes between relaxing sessions at the resort.
