Roda Golf & Beach Resort

Roda Golf & Beach Resort sits in Spain's sunny Murcia region, just a short hop from the beaches of the Mar Menor. If you're after a straightforward winter-sun golf break with plenty to do off the course, it's a tidy option, especially for groups who like the freedom of apartment living.

The 18-hole championship course is a Dave Thomas design and it's widely rated as one of the area's most enjoyable layouts. You'll get proper resort golf with good conditioning, plenty of water in play and enough bite to keep you honest without feeling like you're being punished for it.

You're also well placed for a split itinerary, golf in the morning, beach in the afternoon, with the coast close by and Murcia's wider golf scene on the doorstep. Roda's facilities have also hosted serious coaching, with the PGA of Europe previously choosing it for an academy base outside the UK, which tells you this is built with golfers in mind rather than being an add-on.

If you want sun, convenience and a solid all-round set-up that works for mates' trips, couples or a society tour, Roda is worth a look.

Who is this for?

Groups and societies who want self-catering apartments, an on-site championship course and easy access to the Mar Menor for downtime between rounds.

Who is it best for?

Mixed-ability golfers who prefer resort golf with practice facilities and value, plus anyone booking a winter-sun break and wanting a simple, low-faff base.

Roda Golf Course

Thomas' brief was to create a golf course that could be enjoyed by everyone, and would also be totally harmonious with the natural landscape and its indigenous plant and wildlife. The lush green fairways are bordered by stunning flora and fauna, while the brilliant white sand makes for fantastic contrasts of colour.

Thomas has shaped the landscape and incorporated three strategically positioned lakes into gently undulating terrain to produce a layouyt that is truly enjoyable for all standards of golfer. The fairways are generous but wild shots will be punished by the surrounding trees and rough. The design is also typically Dave Thomas in that the golfer cannot overpower the course, and is required to think his or her way around in order to be rewarded with a decent score.

Accommodation at Roda Golf & Beach Resort

Roda's accommodation is apartment-based, with 2 and 3 bedroom options that suit everything from a couples' trip to a full society crew. For golfers, the big win is space, you've got separate bedrooms, a proper living area and the ability to keep costs sensible with self-catering.

Apartments are set up for longer stays as well as quick weekends, with fitted kitchens, dining space and a balcony or terrace for a post-round drink. The 2 bedroom units work well for two to four golfers sharing, while the 3 bedroom apartments are a smart shout for larger groups who want to stay together without everyone tripping over golf bags.

The apartments opened at the end of 2006 and have been well maintained since. They're positioned close to the golf course and practice areas, which means you can roll out of bed, grab a coffee and be on the range without needing to factor in a long walk or shuttle. That's a proper advantage when you've got an early tee time or want to fit in a quick practice session before the group assembles.

On-site, you've got outdoor pools for a dip after 18 holes and resort facilities geared towards golfers, including practice areas and coaching options depending on season. There's also a beach club element for Mar Menor days, which is ideal when part of the group fancies swapping a second round for a bit of sun and sea. The beaches are a short drive away, and the resort can arrange access, so it's easy to split your time between golf and coast.

If you don't want to cook every night, you're not stuck. There are options on the resort and you're a short drive from local bars and restaurants, so you can keep it relaxed and flexible. For winter breaks, that combination of apartment value, golfer-friendly facilities and Murcia sunshine is exactly why Roda stays popular with UK groups year after year.

The self-catering setup gives you control over meal times and budgets, particularly useful for groups with early tee times or those who want to stock up on local produce and Spanish wine. That said, the resort's facilities mean you're not tied to cooking every night, with dining options available on-site and easy access to the restaurants and bars of the surrounding area.

Roda is owned and managed by De Vere, one of Europe's leading golf resort management companies, and the attention to detail shows. The facilities are well maintained, the course is kept in good nick, and the overall experience is geared towards golfers who want a straightforward, no-nonsense base that does the basics well.

We had an apartment for 4 people. First room very good for space and wardrobe. 2nd room smaller so it was easier to leave cases in the lounge. Cooking facilities fine. All four chairs on balcony broken. Nice swimming pool nearby. We did loose water pressure for a short period but this was due to the major flooding a few weeks before. Not a great problem.

We stayed in a self catering town house over the Christmas period. It was clean and adequate, but lack charm or homely touches. It was a rather dark building which got very little sunlight during the winter period, although I would think this would be a blessing in a scorching summer. Our main problem was that the artificial lighting was very dim and inadequate with no table lamps etc which could be used to enhance light and atmospher . The kitchen was clean and just about ok. Everything worked, but there was only one shelf in the oven, and the only supplies left for us were two dishwasher tablets and a small quantity of washing up liquid. However, there was a plentiful supply of good towels and the hot water and heating systems were excellent . A slightly bigger problem problem was that there was no parking close to the house and this required quit a bit of maneuvering of heavy golf equipment and shopping. We used the on site restaurant several times and must say that the food was extremely good and plentiful. All the staff that we came in contact with were friendly and helpful.

Accomodation was pretty much as we expected. Enough space in the lounge and bedrooms, small kitchen but OK for a few days. Basic standard of furniture.

The apartments were well equipped and we were fortunate to be fairly near the pools, reception and about a 5 minute walk to the golf facilities. The check in was superb and the lady was a credit to Roda Beach Resort. Disappointed that there were no shops on site and that despite us being the only people in the pool playing with a ball resort security put a stop to it!
