The sun-blessed Spanish region of Murcia is dominated by its capital of the same name, a Baroque masterpiece founded by the Moors in 825 AD. However, this is of less consequence to us than the superb and numerous golf resorts. Superb apartments, hotels and golf villas are located near courses that range from could-do-this-blindfold to you-have-to-be-joking standard – in other words, something for everyone. With emerald greens strung like jewels along the Mediterranean coast, and year-round sunshine making it the perfect winter retreat, what more could you wish for?

Murcia benefits from hot dry summers and mild winters, courtesy of its position on the Iberian Peninsula. The capital has a long tradition of growing and exporting fruit, flowers and vegetables. As well as providing plenty of cheap fresh produce for Murcia’s self-catering golf apartments, it gives you an idea of why the greens, for once, really do stand up to the name.

Wherever you book golf accommodation in Murcia, you will be assured of fast and easy transfers from the airport. British travellers, in fact, have a choice of two: Alicante, or Murcia airport itself. Located at San Javier, 17 miles south of the capital, it is frequented by budget airlines who offer low-cost flights direct from major airports in the UK and Ireland. Car hire is available from both airports as well as the city.

We at Pack Your Clubs have golf holidays at Murcia’s top resorts – including a selection of golf apartments at La Torre, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course and the first fully operational Polaris World Resort.
