Murcia ยป Mar Menor
Mar Menor is located in the province of Murcia,
near the town of Torre Pacheco. The wide space
here is approximately 59 hectares in size and
a the course plays at maximum length of 6,153 meters for a very
demanding par 72, surrounded by a variety of plants indigenous to
the area. Located 5 km from Mar Menor, the course was designed
by David Thomas and Jack Nicklaus. The front -nine holes are a
testing Par 37, 3275 meters, which requires good shots to put the
ball in the fairway. There is little rough but the greens are well
protected by bunkers and the surrounding lake water. The back
nine holes are Par 35, 2878 meters. In general, they have wide
fairways. The main features are the clever positioning of bunkers
and a spectacular lake, which is an obstacle that comes into play
on a few holes.
