Our apartment is located right next to La Serena Golf, with four more championship courses within a 20-minute drive. Here are the five courses we recommend booking during your stay.
La Serena Golf
Our apartment overlooks this course, so you can practically roll your tr
olley to the first tee. La Serena is an 18-hole, par 72 layout of 6,168 metres, opened in 2006 and built around the 500-year-old Torre de Rame watchtower. Designed by former Ryder Cup player Manuel Piñero, water comes into play on 16 of the 18 holes, making accuracy more important than power. Please check website: laserenagolf.es
Roda Golf & Beach Resort (5 min)
A short drive inland brings you to Roda, an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Dave Thomas. The signature par-3 7th, with its island green surrounded by water, is one of the most photographed holes in Murcia. Excellent clubhouse and a floodlit driving range.
