The Golf!:
Arguably the finest desert links course in all of Europe, this superb 18 hole par 71 Jack Nicklaus designed golf course is fast becoming 'the' must play course in southern Spain and attracts golfers from all over the world who continue to give rave reviews.
Situated in a beautiful natural desert valley, It is routed in a 'core' format that groups several holes together whilst keeping the surrounding development on the perimeter. This means many holes border other holes and not houses creating a more open and natural golfing experience.
Rather than length, the course relies on subtle strategic elements to challenge golfers. This course puts a premium on accuracy, not power and favours the intelligent player who can manage his or her game.
All the holes offer their own unique challenge and are a joy to play whether you decide to stroll the course or save your energy in a buggy.
