Murcia & Golf: An Awesome Combination
Murcia, located in southeastern Spain, is a region known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and natural landscapes. It is the seventh largest city in Spain, and as the capital of the region, it offers excellent infrastructure and a great transport system.
With a Mediterranean climate that offers sunshine practically all year round, Murcia is a perfect destination for tourism and outdoor sports, like golf. The city has more than 300 days of sunshine annually and mild temperatures during winter. This allows the golf courses to be in ideal condition all year round, making the region perfect for golf in any season.
In the summer of 2023, I had the opportunity to spend a few days in this incredible place, and the experience was excellent. My vacation was extraordinary in a place where I could breathe clean air and play golf with my family.
Altaona Golf & Country Village
The name “Altaona” is inspired by the surrounding mountains, one of which is shaped like a reclining lady, giving rise to the term “Alta Dona,” which means tall lady.
Situated at the base of the Carrascoy Natural Park and the mountains of Murcia, Altaona Golf & Country Village is surrounded by mountainous scenery, with hiking trails ideal for mountain biking enthusiasts. The luxurious leisure retreat also offers sophisticated amenities and a world-class golf experience, designed by renowned architects.
Furthermore, the proximity to the city of Murcia and the sandy beaches of the Mar Menor expands the possibilities for leisure and culture, making this resort an ideal destination for a luxurious and active life.
Altaona Golf Course
The impressive 18-hole course par 72 course winds through the area and was designed by famed Stirling & Martin Golf Architects. Situated in an arid climate, it winds through the Altaona Village development, providing wide fairways and a gently rolling natural landscape. This made my walking easy, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable golf experience.
Golf Course Features
- Design and Layout: The golf course features a challenging but not too difficult design, which is great for players of all levels. If you ever play this golf course, you will be surrounded by beautiful lakes that come into play strategically, while sand bunkers help define the fairways and greens. All of this creates contrasts of colors and textures that highlight the beauty of the “desert” environment.
- Natural Environment: The sparse vegetation and smooth course topography make moving around easy and offers a pleasant and relaxing playing experience. It’s really nice how the course design takes advantage of the natural terrain and provides stunning views with a sense of tranquility.
- Course Challenges: Avoiding rough areas and trees is a major challenge on this golf course, making precision an essential skill. Its clever layout includes obstacles that increase the challenge, making everything fun and rewarding!
