RLT Golfing

We are offering self-catering holidays in the superb undiscovered golf region of Almeria, Spain

Mojacar and Vera is the perfect location for your holiday in Spain, as it boasts the best climate in Europe, sunny, warm and dry winter days but cooler in the hot summer as it sits o­n the coast.

There are 4 local golf courses in the area, 2 more under construction.

Desert Springs

The contrast between the carefully manicured playing areas and the arid surroundings of the region with the mildest climate in Europe, Desert Springs captures the essence of what it is that sets golf apart from other sports and will have travelling golfers anxious to sample the desert golf experience. Built to comply with full USGA specifications and quality standards of the now famous desert courses of Arizona and California, The Indiana is the first of two 18-hole courses to be built o­n the resort. When stretched to its full length of 6,173 metres, the layout is built to challenge the world's best players. However, the bunker placements and positioning of hazards allows the design to present a more accommodating challenge when played from the selection of forward tees. "We have created a course which really can be enjoyed by players of all different standards," affirms course designer Peter McEvoy. "We have kept the fairways generous and ensured that the less expert player can enjoy and improve his game whilst absorbing the awesome landscape. o­n the other hand, every hole has features which can be brought into play; the springs, watercourses, dry river beds, rock and cactus areas and sand traps are strategically placed to examine the skills of leading exponents of the game when playing off the championship tees.

Thanks to its location - and unique nature - Desert Springs is destined to become a magnet, not o­nly for golfers from more northern climes, but also those already resident in Iberia; Malaga with its Costa del Golf is 3 hour's distant; Granada 2 hours, Murcia 1 hour, Valencia 4 hours and Madrid 4 ½. Thanks to the excellent motorway connections, o­ne could leave Madrid or Valencia at 7am, and Malaga at 9am and still make a reserved start time of 12 noon.

Valle del Este

Valle del Este  has been carefully designed to combine holes that represent a real challenge to the player, with other less strenuous holes. It o­nly opened 3 years ago, but already established itself as o­ne of the finest course in the region, it is o­ne of Spain’s unique courses and maintained in immaculate condition all year round.     Valle del Este is a desert course with island tees and fairways ample elevated, receptive streets, with multiple positions of flag as well as lakes and bunkers, that are strategically located, each hole is I authenticate challenge.

Cortijo Grande

Cortijo Grande This 9-hole par 36 golf course opened in 1976. Cortijo Grande is situated about 8 kilometres from the sea and west of the road between the N340 and Mojacar near Turre in Almeria.

This golf course is unique and is strongly recommended to those who enjoy a round of golf in nature and can do without all the luxury of today's new golf resort in Andalucía. The course is set in the valley at the foot of the Sierra Cabrera and is laid out across lemon, orange and olive tree plantations right next to the little local town. There is no real club house but we can certainly recommend the relaxed restaurant right next to the course.
