At the moment, beginning of 2010, there are 10 golf courses running in the Province of Almeria, easily accessible within less than an hour drive from any other thanks to the excellent road infrastructure in place.
Desert Springs Golf Resort (18 holes, par 72)
Located between Palomares and Cuevas del Almanzora. The Indiana is the first and only desert golf course in Europe that was built to the full USGA specifications and quality standards of the now famous desert courses of Arizona and California. It was designed by Peter McEvoy. A second course on this site is planned. Approximately 70 euros green fee.
Marina de la Torre (18 holes, 72 par)
Located on the coast between Garrucha and Mojacar, it was designed by Ramón Espinosa. The course includes three lakes, some stunning sea views and an amazing tee-off point in the hillside overlooking the course. The driving range has views out to sea to inspire your swing! Green fee approximately 50 euros.
Valle del Este Golf Resort (18 holes, par 73)
At Vera is just off the A7/E15 - the main motorway that runs almost the length of Spain. The golf course was designed by José Canales, paying careful attention to every detail and integrating the course into the surrounding landscape by making use of indigenous vegetation. There are also distant views of the Mediterranean from much of the course. Green fees are in the region of 60 euros.
Cortijo Grande (9 holes, with different tee-offs for 18)
Located in Turre in the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountains. It was designed and opened in 1976 by the designer Paul Polansky. The relatively flat course has its fairways lined with citrus groves of orange and lemon trees. The undulating nature of the valley itself means that the natural terrain and design make for an interesting and challenging round of golf.
At the moment there are two golf courses being finished at the San Juan de los Terreros area, both near beaches, amenities and services: Santa Cristina and Terreros Golf, the only one not running by 2008 but close to be finished.
Near Almeria City area, and only 15-30 minutes drive from its international airport, there are 3 more golf courses at Almerimar, Playa Serena and La Envia very near Roquetas de Mar.
La Envia is situated in a wide valley west of the road from the A15 towards Enix. La Envia Golf require all your skills, but short 18 hole golf course designed by Francisco Mendoza is ideal if you prefer a relaxed and enjoyable game of golf rather than the challenge of a punishing championship golf course. La Envia has an excellent restaurant and luxurious clubhouse.
Playa Serena was designed by Angel Gallardo and Peter Alliss. It is a private golf course with fairly flat course located alongside the beach of Roquetas de Mar.
Almerimar is situated in the middle of an expanding seaside tourist resort which offers excellent facilities including a beautiful marina, near El Ejido village, 20 minutes drive of Almeria airport. The course has wide fairways, large fast greens and plenty of water hazards. It is an American style course full of rich tropical vegetation which was designed by Gary Player. The green of the challenging par three 12th is settled in the middle of a lake with a tee shot that must cross at least 100 metres of water.
Shortly we will include the courses in Granada (3), Murcia (5) and Costa Blanca (6).
