Desert Springs
At Desert Springs 'The Indiana' is an 18 hole, par 72 course of 6,173 meters designed by Peter McEvoy, the successful Walker Cup captain. Situated about 15/20 minutes from Mojacar it is the first desert course to be built in Europe rivalling any of the now famous desert courses in Arizona or in California. With lush fairways, water features and rugged desert terrain Desert Springs is destined to become one of the finest golf resorts in the world. Here golfers are compelled to keep the ball on the fairways but can take relief from staked cacti. It is highly recommended.
Valle del Este Golf Club is an 18 hole, par 71 golf course of 5,696 meters about 10/15 minutes from Mojácar opened July 2002 that utilises the desert landscape to its maximum beauty. Integrating these natural settings it makes the course both attractive and challenging to play. Correct club selection is essential if you are to make par. With superb elevated tees, true & fast greens plus a number of water features, including the magnificent water course running along side the 18th hole, all make this course irresistible to play.
Marina De La Torre
An 18 hole, par 72 golf course of 5,464 meters on Mojácar Playa. The course combines flat fairways adjacent to the sea, 3 lakes which come into play and undulating terrain on the mountainside with the most spectacular 3rd hole; a testing par 5 where the tee is positioned 65 meters above & 483 metres from the green. A course where you feel obliged to play again if only to correct your original club selection.
Set in the foot hills of the Sierra Cabrera, the Cortijo Grande golf course designed by Paul Jay Polansky opened in 1976. One of Peter McEvoys favorite golf challenges. The current 9-hole golf course with its majestic backdrop of orange groves, almond, fig and olive trees is truly breathtaking. Watered from an underground volcanic lake, the valley has been an agricultural paradise for several centuries.
