Desert Springs Resort
Almeria » Mojácar
This new golf course, designed by Ramón Espinosa, opens up
the eastern Almería region to Andalucía´s ongoing golf/tourism
boom. Marina Golf covers 5,464 metres and has two distinct
halves. The first, holes 1, 2 and 12 to 18 running parallel to the
sea is flat and forgiving while the other half, holes 3 to 11, takes a
detour behind a hill and follows more undulating terrain. There
are three large lakes affecting ten holes. Spectacular views await the
golfer on the 3rd tee with the par-5 hole dropping dramatically 65
metres towards a lake and green some 485 metres distant.
Almeria » Alborán
Alborán Golf, a fantastic golf course of 18 holes Championship,
lies on the new residential and tourist resort of El Toyo, a
new town area that offers different hotel chances at a few
yards from the beach and immersed in a unique half-deserted
environment, just five minutes away from the international
airport. Alborán Golf, whose design was developed by the
prestigious golf architect Ramon Espinosa, is located in front
of the natural background of Cabo de Gata-Níjar and ten
minutes from town center.
Almeria » Desert Springs
Inspired by the famous desert courses of Arizona & California, The
Indiana course is built to full USGA specifications. A spectacular
example of man’s creativity in harmony with nature; its emerald green
fairways are set amongst massive rocky outcrops, arroyos and dry
rivers. The contrast of the immaculate fairways and ‘desert springs’
with the arid landscape of cactus, rock and flowering desert, all
framed within a panorama of landmark mountain ranges, is stunning
at all times of year. Over 600.000 cacti and other desert plants grow
progressively more dense and troubling, the further your shot is off
the fairway, culminati ng in the dreaded ‘spiked lies’, so the course is
both demanding and exhilarating and offers a variety of shot making
challenges to test the skill level of every player, from the beginner to
professional.
