This is the inventory of the golf course marking of Los Arqueros valid from July 2013:

HOLE 1:
Left side of hole:
The left side of the hole adjoins the practice ground, which is correctly marked out of bounds, in accordance with the Andalusian Golf Federation (FGA). This out of bounds line extends to the teeing ground, leaving the Clubhouse out of bounds, and continues along the wooden fence that runs alongside the buggy path from the Clubhouse to the edge of the public road that provides access to the car park next to Urb. La Finca, finally connecting with the out of bounds line that starts at hole 9.
Right side of hole:
The whole of the right side of the hole and the rear of the green of hole 1 are marked with red stakes indicating a lateral water hazard. (According to the FGA and the Rules of Golf, this area, marked in this way, does not have the characteristics of a water hazard and the stakes must therefore be removed for official tournaments).
Immovable obstructions:
1) Wooden steps next to the green
2) Buggy path
3) Wooden fence
4) Young trees tied to stakes

HOLE 13:
Left side of hole:
The whole of the left side of the hole, to the point where the buggy path crosses tee 10, is marked with red stakes indicating a lateral water hazard. (According to the FGA and the Rules of Golf this area, marked in this way, does not have the characteristics of a water hazard and the stakes must therefore be removed for official tournaments). The rest of the area, to the green, forms part of the course.
Right side of hole:
The whole of the right side of the hole, to the level of the green, is marked with red stakes indicating a lateral water hazard.
FGA recommendation: Drop zone – water hazard: Given the difficulty of the hole, a drop zone may be created for a ball that, from tee (whether from white, yellow or red tee markers), comes to rest in the water hazard.
The FGA recommends locating the drop zone on the grass platform in front and to the left of the red tee .
Although this drop zone may be closer to the hole than the spot at which the ball entered the water hazard, the proposed drop zone forces the player to play over the water hazard to reach the fairway and does not therefore distort the spirit of the hole’s design.
