The first nine also boasts a 200 yard par 3 (hole 8 SI3)that's slightly up hill. The less trouble some holes on the front nine are 6 and 7 which are back to back par 5s that play side by side but in opposite directions. Both may be reachable in two on a still day but given some wind one will play longer. The back nine is a little more open up until the 18th. Holes 13-15 around the lake are particularly pleasant. The lake can come into play if you let it but should largely just be for effect. The real trouble on this course is the bunkering which is not excessive but always seems to be in the right place to capture you ball. 15 is a short par 4 but SI2, the issue is club selection and placement to avoid sand rather than the lake. Contouring around bunkers and greens provide the occasional mound, run off area or raised green to challenge. The greens themselves provide a true roll but rarely a simple read. Sadly it is evident that visitors are not repairing their pitch marks, a problem made more damaging by the climate. Even so, and all things considered the course is kept in excellent condition by the grounds staff.
If you get a chance to make up a group with any of the local society they are exceptionally friendly and really make you welcome - in fact, I wish I could move out there just to join.

Condada - great course, each hole a challenge with either water or sand. Greens quick and true, fairways in good nick - recommend! Infrastructure terrible. Pro shop about 1/2 mile from 1st tee, could only buy course planner from the supermarket! No clubhouse so could not have a beer or shower.
Mar Menor - thought previous reviews about being a round of 2 halves were a bit harsh. Course maintained really well, liked the new holes 13 to 15 around the lake.
Good clubhouse for beers afterwards. No course plans available to buy which was a bit frustrating.
El Valle - greens were very fast, but had to be accurate otherwise you just ran off the green (green keeper obviously was in a mood as some of the placements were incredibly tricky. Very picturesque amongst the various ravines with the landscaping adding to the experience. excellent condition, good clubhouse but no course planner (again). Would recommend as a good challenge after the first few holes which were by far the only boring holes of the 18

The challenge is to propel the ball over a series of gorges and ravines. The fourth hole is a particular challenge with the fairways at two levels and the green at the third level, each separated by a gorge. I have now learned to play this hole. The aim is to get a good drive then use a 4 iron or 5 wood into the second fairway which is at a lower level. The green can be approached with a wedge or 9 iron. The ninth poses a different challenge this a 296 meters par 4, dog leg to the left. The big hitter may try to hit over the water to reach the green in one or play safe using an iron to put the ball on the fairway and approach the green with a 7 iron.

When the course has had a while longer to mature it will turn out great. There are a couple of holes where there is still some wasteland surrounding ( 6/7/8) from memory, they are still building properties around that section so it is to be expected. The back 9 is lovely and has a nice 3-4 holes around a lake which prove to be a challenge. There are a hell of a lot of sand traps all over the course which make it even more challenging.
The greens were quite sandy but I suppose as they are still fairly new this can be expected?
The fairways were in excellent condition and the general upkeep of the course was second to none. I can't wait to get back out there a play it again. The 18th is straight in front of the Intercontinental Hotel as makes a lovely finish.

The course has many fairway bunkers, that are generally quite long and flat. The greens on all 9 holes are very well protected by bunkers, so shot selection needs to be fairly accurate.
Green Bunkers generally have very soft sand, that makes playing out of them a bit easier. Whilst the fairway bunkers are a bit firmer, but allow you to get a good iron away for distance shots.
Booked the course through Club Murcia website - extremely good value green fees. Would certainly recommend this to any handicapper

Very disappointing
A very disappointing return to this venue after 9 years. The course was under refurbishment and only 8 out of the 18 holes were open with a 9th make shift making a twice round play mode the normal. The rest of the facilities were in good order. The clubhouse, shop, accommodation were all top notch. The course did let the trip down badly. The greens were slow, the tees and fairways looked worn and tired. A lot of work is required before a third trip is on the cards.Reviewer Rating
