With 2022 set to be a bumper year for foreign travel, tee time availability in Spring and Autumn across Europe is becoming increasingly difficult thanks to a perfect storm of pent-up demand and pandemic-affected trips, which have already been deferred to 2022.

With the usual hotspots of Belek, the Algarve and the Costa Del Sol already at bursting point, it’s time to look further afield to some hidden gems and lesser-known destinations. 

Thankfully,
Murcia fits the bill perfectly. 

With a number of
amazing courses, great access into a choice of two airports (Murcia Corvera
and Alicante), over 300 days of sunshine per year and
fantastic value, why not make 2022 the year you discover this fantastic region?

Our friends at Glencor
Golf

have picked their top four packages to give an example of the best this area has
to offer…

Psp Residences Mar Menor

The Residences at Mar Menor 

A
firm favourite in the Glencor golf office, the
Residences at Mar Menor
are the ideal starting point for a golf holiday to Murcia. 

The comfortable four-star apartments offer a great base located in the heart of the resort. With a
number of bars and restaurants either on-site
or within walking distance, the resort is a great mix of quality
golf and evening entertainment.
 

The
Mar Menor Golf Resort
offers a choice of three courses within its packages, the first being the on-site
Mar Menor Golf Course. This Dave Thomas design offers an American resort feel
with holes 13,14 and 15 sticking long in the mind as they shoulder a large lake.
 

Saurines
Golf Course is the second offering, located around 20 mins from the apartments.
This desert-style course would not look out of place in Las Vegas,
with wasteland bordering the lush green fairways.
 

Hacienda
Del Alamo, main image, is the third course and one of the longest in Spain. Another of Dave
Thomas’ designs, the course offers a gruelling test from the back tees.
 

With
three nights and two rounds from £132 per
person
,
this resort offers amazing value.
 

Psp La Torre

DoubleTree
By Hilton La Torre Golf Resort
 

Newly
refurbished, the five-star
 DoubleTree By Hilton La Torre Golf
Resort

offers a luxury hotel and spa along with an on-site golf course
designed by Jack Nicklaus.
 

The
resort of La Torre is undergoing
a resurgence, with bars and restaurants opening up
regularly, the highlight being the bar in the
middle of the lake overlooking the ninth
 green -a great place to watch golfers lose a lot of golf balls! 

Guests
can also play a number of
other Nicklaus-designed courses in the region as part of the hotel
packages. El Valle Golf is set in a beautiful desert valley, whilst Haciende
Riquelme features possibly the best ninth 
and 18th holes in all of Spain.

Three nights and two rounds start from only
£247 per person
 

Psp Hotel 525

Hotel 525, Los Alcazares 

One
of the most famous hotels in the region, the
Hotel 525
overlooks the aptly-named 525 square, home to a number of bars and restaurants. 

The
packages with the Hotel 525 offer free transfers to Roda Golf and La Serena
Golf as well as free buggies!
 

Roda
Golf is located five minutes from the hotel and offers generous fairways and well-protected greens. La Serena has undergone a recent refurbishment with newly
laid greens and heavy investment. 

Water comes into play on the
majority of holes and so a vast
supply of balls is a must!
 

Three nights and two rounds with buggies
comes in from £286 per person
.
 

Psp Hotel Costa Narejos

Hotel Costa Narejos, Los Alcazares 

A
budget alternate to the Hotel 525, the
Hotel Costa Narejos
is located at the other end of the Los Alcazares
Strip. Offering comfortable rooms and an excellent location, this property is
perfect for groups looking for a base to play multiple courses in the area at
great rates.
 

Packages
can be made with a number of
courses, the highlights being El Valle, La Serena and Haciende
Riquelme.
 

Three nights and two rounds start at only £206 per person!
