Santa Elena Golf Resort & Spa sits close to El Valle Regional Park in Murcia, with Murcia International Airport a short drive away and Alicante around an hour or so by car. If you're planning a quick long-weekend break, it's a straightforward one for UK and European groups.
The headline act is the 18-hole Dave Thomas design, with pedigree that includes The Belfry's Brabazon Course and the San Roque Old Course. It's known locally as a big, testing layout, so it tends to suit golfers who enjoy a proper challenge and don't mind hitting a few extra clubs into greens.
Off the course, you've got resort facilities to keep everyone happy, including a multi-purpose sports complex with tennis, padel, football and rugby pitches, plus an English-style bowling green. For anyone travelling with non-golfers, that mix can be a real bonus.
And if you're the type who wants variety, Santa Elena also works well as a base for a multi-course trip. You can pair it with nearby favourites like Mar Menor, El Valle and Alhama Signature Golf Course as part of a tailored Murcia golf break.
Who is this for? Golf groups who want sunshine, a tough-but-fair resort course and the option to hop around Murcia's best layouts.
Who is it best for? Mid to low handicaps who enjoy a long test, plus mixed groups who'll actually use the tennis, padel and spa between rounds.
