Este trámite se prolonga hasta el año 2007, y es a final de julio de ese año, cuando la Autoridad Portuaria de la Bahía de Algeciras adjudica la concesión a Alcaidesa Servicios SA de la ocupación de los suelos y la lámina de agua en la zona portuaria de La LÍnea de la Concepción, para la construcción y explotación de instalaciones náutico-deportivas y de uso náutico-comercial-recreativo.

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Heathland and what to expect.
Heathland is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The 120 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 70 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 6500 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
