Weather, Golf Course, Completions & Community Charges

Hi All, Is there anyone just recently back from Corvera or living at Corvera that can give us an update on the weather, the condition of the golf course, the number of completions in May and June, plus whether Calidona have now paid their outstanding community charges ?

We arrived back from a 10 day stay on the 8th July.

Weather very hot during the whole of the 10 days, found it very uncomfortable to play golf from 10.30 to 5.30 at this time of year so didnt bother. Played after 6.30 pm most days although did see a few hardlier souls out in the mid-day sun. Temp was well into the 40's out of the shade.

The course is holding up well under the heat. the greens are being watererd, they were cut twice will we were there, so they are keeping the course a little long. possibly because of the cut in staff or trying to keep the sun from drying it out quickly. Greens were watered but did not see fairways watered, maybe they did this early in the day.

No completions are far as we were aware, but then we would not know anyway.

Ditto on the fees.

Our pool had been out of action for several weeks was being fixed during our stay, but we were able to use another pool on our phase. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Message for Rick the pool is done and was using it yesterday but there are still a number of pools that are out but also the Menta and tye Magnolia pools are all fine

There are 3 pools still out where they now require draining and cleaning because of the amount of mud that went in after the storm and owners will need to keep the pressure on Corvera

I am visiting the area next month and have played all the courses around with the exception of Corvera. I am not a property owner but would like to play golf. Can I pay a green fee and play the course?.

easy answer unless you are playing with an owner you cannot play this course

Had 6 days in early July :

It was nice to actually enjoy the resort this time rather than running around visiting shops etc.

1. Weather: Very hot, and very pleasant at night.

2. Golf course: Surprised at how good the condition was considering during my last visit at end April how the greens had been hollow tined and were very dry.  This time greens were in good condition and very green.  Driving rnage area had been freshly mown and look good - shame cant use.  All course being watered each day (incl the rough!).  All storm debris (which was huge according to info) had been cleared from the course and there were machines sweeping up the cart paths on a daily basis. Very few weeds (improvement on April).  Bunkers superb.  Course probably looks great as very few players and hence requires little maintenance, but did see green staff every week day.

3. Security: We were stopped in the evening and checked for owner card and details were physically recorded.

4. Pools: Ours was fantastic - very clean - but noticed one which required cleaning.

5. Storm damage: Still some debris around but most looks like it had been cleaned up.

6. Sunday market: Make sure you stock up on fruit/veg/olives for the week as it is so cheap and of good quality. Nice fishmonger next to Spar (Sgr Hernandez).  Good selection of fish and he will gut for you for an small charge - lovely BBQed.

7. Office - Alex still very responsive.

8. Clubhouse - who knows ?

9. Airport: Still very active (looks like lots of workers rent in Corvera as site was much more active than in past).  Cycled right up to entrance from motorway on cycle path and can get a good look.

Visisted with family for first time and they had (and still are having) a lovely time.
