Golf Courses Near Roda Golf

One of the best things about a golf holiday at Roda Golf & Beach Resort is just how much golf sits on the doorstep. The Murcia region of south-east Spain has quietly become one of Europe's finest multi-course destinations — more than a dozen championship layouts, almost all within an hour's drive, and over 300 days of sunshine a year to enjoy them.

This guide rounds up the courses worth building a trip around, with rough driving distances from Roda, what to expect from each, and a few practical tips for planning a multi-course golf break.

Courses at a glance

Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic and your exact villa. Always confirm green fees and tee times directly with each course or ask us to arrange them.

Roda Golf — right outside your door

It would be rude not to start with the home course. Roda's own 18-hole, par-72 layout winds through the resort and is a genuinely enjoyable test, with water in play on a number of holes and well-kept greens. For residents and guests it's the easiest golf you'll ever play — roll out of your villa and you're on the first tee. See the full picture on our golf courses page.

Mar Menor Golf Resort

A Jack Nicklaus Signature design just up the road, Mar Menor is a popular choice for a first away-day. It's forgiving off the tee in places but asks real questions around the greens, and the resort facilities make for a comfortable morning's golf followed by lunch.

La Torre & El Valle

Two of the well-loved Polaris World courses, both Nicklaus designs. La Torre is famed for its consistently excellent condition and is a fair but rewarding test; El Valle has a more dramatic feel, framed by the surrounding hills, with several holes that stick in the memory. Either makes an ideal second or third round of a trip.

La Manga Club

The grand old name of Spanish golf. La Manga Club's three full courses — the North, South and West — have hosted professional events for decades and remain the headline act of the region. The South is the big championship layout; the North is shorter and more about precision; the West is tighter and tree-lined. A round here is a must for any serious golfing trip to Murcia.

Hacienda del Álamo

One of the longest courses in the region and a favourite of golfers who like to open their shoulders. With a well-regarded academy and wide-open fairways, it's a great place to play if you want to find your rhythm early in the week.

• Book tee times early for the popular winter months (October–March), when UK golfers descend on the Costa Cálida.
• Mix it up. Two or three different courses across a week keeps things fresh and shows off the variety the region offers.
• Fly into Murcia (RMU) — just 30 minutes away — or Alicante (ALC), around 50 minutes by car.
