Four legendary golfers, Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, Arnold Palmer and, arguably the greatest ever, Jack Nicklaus, have designed or redesigned courses in the region of Murcia – and you’d be really ‘teed off’ if you went anywhere else.

With 22 top quality courses in a 50km radius, few areas in Europe can rival the quality and scope on offer. Boasting a wide array of championship courses and Europe’s flagship resort, La Manga Club, Murcia offers some of the best-value green fees on the Mediterranean.

Guests can take advantage of more than 300 holes and enjoy the challenge of playing a selection of layouts created by some of golf’s biggest names. The region’s Nicklaus Golf Trail features six different 18-hole courses: Mar Menor, La Torre, El Valle, Alhama, Saurines and Riquelme.

La Serena also provides an excellent test, while Hacienda Del Alamo has quickly become a popular destination for travelling golfers since opening in 2004.

Complementing the outstanding golf facilities are an array of other sports and leisure activities and, with the region enjoying an average of 315 days of sun a year and featuring the Mar Menor – Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon – it is the ideal destination for a sporting break.
