Designed
by Robert Trent Senior, the main feature which distinguishes
this course from The Lakes is the abundance of trees
hence the name and its smaller size, as well as fewer
water hazards.
The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Although
both are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt
there are interesting contrasts between the two courses: if
Los Lagos are based on hazards of water and sand, Los Olivos
is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens.
Los Olivos is a course best suited for players gifted with
a higher technical ability and precision in their game.
