Murcia FAQs

Murcia is at its best for golf in the spring and autumn, broadly March to May and again from September to November. These months bring comfortable playing temperatures and reliable conditions.

All inclusive isn't a common option in Murcia. The resort-based hotels, including Grand Hyatt La Manga Golf and Spa and Hacienda del Alamo Golf and Spa Reosrt, do offer half board packages, which work well if you would rather keep things simple. That said, bed and breakfast basis is a popular choice, leaving you free to explore the restaurants and bars in Los Alcazares and Murcia City.

Many of the courses in Murcia are perfectly walkable, and buggies are not automatically included in your green fee. They can be added if you would prefer one, and our sales team will walk you through the buggy booking process when you book.

Yes, Murcia is a strong choice for a group golf holiday. Access is easy with two airports close by, and the region offers great value golf, dependable weather and a good variety of resort based courses. Add in the nightlife of Murcia City and Los Alcazares, there is plenty to keep a group happy both on and off the course.

Yes, airport and golf transfers are always included in your golf holiday package to Murcia. If your hotel has golf onsite, you will benefit from the resort's own shuttle service to the course.

For a combination of comfortable golfing conditions and slightly off peak pricing, March and November are worth considering. Both sit just outside the busiest golf season, so you get favourable rates while the weather remains suited to golf.

There are two convenient options, Murcia International and Alicante airport. Flight times from the UK are short at around two and a half hours, so access is straightforward. Most of the Murcia golf resorts sit within 20 to 40 minutes of Murcia Airport, and around an hour from Alicante.

Yes, flights are always included in golf holiday packages to Murcia. With a good choice of UK departure airports, we can tailor your flights to suit your nearest airport and preferred travel times.

Thanks to the easy access and favourable flight schedules, a golf trip to Murcia works well from 4 nights upwards. This makes it a good option for a short break, while longer stays give you the chance to play a wider selection of the region's courses.

Murcia City has a lively atmosphere in the evenings, with plenty of venues close together, so it is easy to move between bars over the course of a night. Los Alcazares is the other option, a good apres golf town with a range of bars and restaurants and a quaint marina to wander around.

If you are planning to travel to Murcia during the peak golfing seasons of spring and autumn, we recommend booking around 6 months in advance, giving you the best choice of tee times.

Several resorts in Murcia have golf directly onsite, including: • Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Spa – 54 holes onsite across the La Manga North, South and West courses • DoubleTree by Hilton La Torre Golf & Spa Resort – the La Torre golf course onsite • Ona Mar Menor Golf and Spa – the Jack Nicklaus designed Mar Menor Golf Club onsite • Hacienda del Alamo Golf and Spa Resort – Santa Elena Golf Club onsite, formerly known as Hacienda del Alamo

There are three popular areas to choose from in Murcia. Murcia City itself is popular due to its proximity to the courses and its wide selection of restaurants and bars. The La Manga area is home to the renowned La Manga Club, with multiple courses and a lively resort atmosphere, while Mar Menor and Los Alcazares make a popular coastal base, with easy access to several Nicklaus designed courses.

As always, the “best” course comes down to personal taste, but Murcia has a strong selection. La Manga Club, Hacienda del Alamo, El Valle Golf, La Torre Golf and Mar Menor Golf are among the region's most popular and highly regarded courses, and between them offer plenty of variety.

Yes, Murcia works well for golfing couples. Many of the golf resorts have spa facilities, and there is a choice between staying resort-based for convenience or heading to a coastal spot such as Los Alcazares, where the restaurants and bars are close at hand. The region's beaches are another draw for time away from the course.

We would recommend a minimum of 3 rounds, which gives you the chance to experience some of the region's standout courses. Alternatively, if your hotel has golf onsite, three rounds lets you make full use of the course on your doorstep.

For a golf and city break combination, Murcia City is an excellent base, close to the courses and with plenty of bodegas and restaurants on your doorstep. The seaside town of Los Alcazares, near Roda Golf Resort, is a fun spot with bars, restaurants, shops and a quaint marina. The ancient Roman town of Cartagena is also well worth a visit, a harbour town steeped in history and full of character for a day off the course.
