Played here over 50 times. Didn’t bother in 2025 due to the truly appalling greens in 2024. In 2026 greens very good except for hole 8 where signs of wear. Why still put pin near an area of zero grass? Fairways , bunkers etc fine. Now have toptracer on the driving range but inevitably the price for the balls is ridiculous. Good to see youngsters there. Staff range from really great to typical jobsworth. Pro shop staff initially not overly welcoming but after 5 days they became quite helpful. One of the guys at the hut near first tee was brilliant. Charming. One of the course Marshalls was how shall we say ,a rude arrogant jobsworth. Told us to slow down when the on screen buggy told us we were well behind schedule. Another Marshall was extreme opposite. Pleasant, talkative, welcoming etc etc. As normal little control on who is allowed to play. Watched a guy take 8 of the first tee. He missed the ball entirely at first attempt. Also to allow young boys of c7 years to play with fathers was bizarre. They couldn’t hit the ball. Suppose it is all about money. Overall for a golf hotel course this is one of the best I have played and clearly much money spent on sensible improvements. Not a long course but can make you look silly. Hotel still looks tired and indoor area near pro shop and bar area is so dated and depressing. To summarise. For a golf resort it is an excellent course. Full marks to the green staff in presenting a course in such good condition considering the footfall.

Course condition could be improved. Some of the signage to the next Tee could be more distinct, particularly after the Par 3 13th or 14th through the houses(I think??)

We liked the stay and the treatment of the staff. The course needs to be returned to improve. (automated translation)

Great golf vacation package, everything was as agreed. Good breakfast and dinner. Golfcourse was in perfect condition, not to easy, but still well playable.

A varied and very well maintained course with slopes that make it a lot of fun. (automated translation)

Very nice and varied course, with many slopes. Very fun and quite difficult, the strategy plays a key role so if you do not know it you are lost. (automated translation)

I thought the clubhouse needed some TLC and the greens were showing a lot of damage. Compared to when I played there some years ago I thought it was beginning to show its age. The range balls are expensive at 3 euro

Course in average condition. If you are a bit wayward take plenty of balls. According to the Marshall a 5 hour round is totally acceptable. Sorry but not for us. 3.5 to 4.5 hours is acceptable. At one stage in the game there were 3 teams waiting on the tee. Marshall said this was okay.

A busy holiday course with a decent variety of holes though too many of which were close to villas etc. Tees were in process of being relaid so conditions around teeing area were poor. Greens were ok but not of Desert Springs standard. Wouldn't rush back as prefer Aquilon and Desert Springs.

This is an excellent course with varied holes and some spectacular ones. The greens are fast but true, so good fun. The carry from yellow tees is quite long although there are forward tees if required. I played the course twice. On the first time I was invited to join a friendly German Sven and then by a British husband and wife pair who were very welcoming. On the 2nd occasion I was behind several 4 balls and a pair. After 2.5 hours for 9 holes the pair dropped out, no doubt due to the slow play. On reaching the 1st 4 ball, Brit/Spanish, on the 12th tee they courtesy waived me through. The next 'Little Englander?' 4 ball would not let me through even when they stopped twice to search for lost balls off the tee. They said that they were members and did not like visitors. The whole round took over 4.5 hours for a 5571 metres course. This is far too long when I would expect to play in no more than 3.5 hours. A good but frustrating day. On returning to Almeria this is unlikely to be my first choice.

What can i say,lovely hotel and spa,superb facilities and what a course,for a resort course i have only played a few courses where the fairways and greens are as immaculate.Superb test of golf most of the tees are raised so you can see most of what awaits you before you hit your teeshot(that's not always a good thing).Great views,some superb holes that you need to play for position to hopefully par.Greens are fantastic the ball runs true and keeps the line you have chosen well.Good blend of very tough/easyish holes. Very highly recommended,unfortunately being a resort course and very popular you are herded round a bit and asked to hurry if spending time looking for balls. Located in Almeria it is just a little bit too far too travel for the Murcia crowd which is a shame because it is worth the drive.

A very intresting & well designed course. The tees, fairways & greens were immaculate when played over xmas 2002
