Malta - Royal Malta Golf Club There are some excellent holes; none better that the 441 yard par 4 Hole 1. A good drive is needed to avoid the trees on the right and the path on the left. The RMGC signature hole is the par 3 Hole 4, known as the Maid's Bedroom. It is not a particularly difficult hole but is certainly one of the most picturesque. The 382 yard Hole 11 offers a wide fairway giving the golfer an excellent chance to attack the elevated two-tier green. At first sight, the last few holes seem to provide a relatively easy finish, but don't be fooled. |
