The Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort in Murcia, features an 18-hole, par-72 course spanning approximately 6,991 yards. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course was developed to championship standards, using the natural landscape’s features to create strategic challenges. The layout includes wide fairways bordered by olive trees, wildflowers, and five lakes, providing a scenic and open feel, while also presenting diverse golfing difficulties with its severe bunkering and multi-tiered greens.

One of the standout features of the course is its use of Paspalum grass across all playing surfaces. This grass is highly salt-tolerant and drought-resistant, reducing the need for freshwater irrigation and maintaining optimal conditions year-round. The challenging greens are large, multi-tiered, and heavily contoured, requiring players to place their shots strategically for better putting positions.

The resort itself is built around a historic, colonial-style country house and offers a variety of amenities, including a welcoming clubhouse with a restaurant and pro shop, practice areas, and proximity to Murcia’s cultural attractions. The course is designed to be enjoyable for all skill levels, with four different tee positions on each hole, allowing both beginners and seasoned golfers to make the most of their rounds.

For those looking for a well-rounded golf experience, Hacienda Riquelme offers a mix of natural beauty, strategic design, and excellent facilities, making it a popular golf destination on the Costa Cálida
