"I have played in a lot of courses and objetively I haven't known anyone with par 3 as the existing in Santa Marina, in addition, the par 5 are also complicated, varied and so equilibrated." (Ballesteros, 2001).

"I'm very satisfied with the project, it is a natural trajectory where I have tried to involve all the singularity and natural elements of the place." (Ballesteros, 2001)
