Possibly one of the most picturesque golf courses imaginable, Llao Llao’s eighteen-hole, par 71 fairway covers 5,856 yards of rolling greenery, verdant forestry, bunkers, water hazards and natural obstacles. It’s believed the eighteenth hole, a challenging putt over the water, is one-of-a-kind. Of course, the panoramic vistas, comprising pristine lakeside backed by rugged rocky mountains, aren’t too shabby either. As well as the golf course itself, Llao Llao Luxury Hotel & Resort boasts a driving range, two putting greens, a pro shop and the prerequisite Club House for meals throughout the day and a drink or two once you've played your round. Additionally, there are weekly tournaments and friendly golf lessons available, which are suitable for golfers of all abilities.
