Holes to watch
Holes 4, 9, 15 and 18. Water hazards and strategically placed bunkers become the main defence.
Practice facilities
Yes. The practice complex is one of the strongest features of the resort and is worth making use of before teeing off.
Local tip
The fairways are generous, but don't assume it's an easy course. Many greens are well protected and favour a carefully positioned approach rather than simply hitting driver everywhere.
Local tip
The layout itself remains highly regarded and many golfers believe it has the potential to be one of Murcia's best courses. However, if you're booking, it's worth checking the latest course-condition reports, as maintenance standards have varied considerably in recent years. UGOLF has been working on improvements, so conditions may continue to evolve.
Local tip
The lower conditioning scores reflect recurring criticism from golfers during 2024–2025, while the clubhouse, layout and practice facilities continue to receive strong praise.
Local tip
Busiest on Saturday mornings and during the winter golf holiday season.
Local tip
A buggy is optional here — the course is walkable but long in places; walking suits reasonably fit golfers.
Local tip
Hole 15 (most scenic) offers sweeping views across the resort with the surrounding Murcian hills.
Local tip
Hole 18 (signature hole) is a long finishing hole with water protecting the approach to the green.
