Ilha de Comandatuba
Brasil

To increase even more the options for sports and leisure, the Ilha de Comandatuba Transamerica Hotel presents the Comandatuba Ocean Course. And eighteen-hole golf course built by one of the best architects of the United States, Dan Blankenship, where "listening to nature" was his philosophy to carry out this project. The Comandatuba Ocean Course is totally integrated into the local landscape. Here golf can be found between the sea and the mangrove swamp in an environment dominated by centennial coconut trees, sand dunes, beautiful lakes and native vegetation which is frequently visited by the rich local fauna. Among the animals of the region you may find along the course are capuchin monkeys, a variety of birds, foxes, anteaters and jupatis.

The Comandatuba Ocean Course doesn't have the feared rough, but it has a large area of sand which is played as if it were a fairway.  There is a lot of movement on the greens, which are above average dimensions and create situations of definition inside the putting area. One can still find along half the course, twelve lakes distributed in nine holes which present water hazards. The average of one bunker per hole and eighteen cross and fairways bunkers test all the precision and strategy of the golfer.
