Costa Calida Golf
Golf has become a major industry on Spain’s Costa Calida. Some courses, such as the La Manga club resort, have been established for a long time. But in recent years there has been a sharp increase in the number of courses. That means more choices for golfers. Together with the neighboring Costa Blanca, Costa Calida is close behind the Algarve and the Costa del Sol as a golf destination. A wide selection of courses is available. They range from easy to difficult, and from low cost to expensive. Most of these courses do not allow booking more than seven days in advance (large groups excepted). They prefer to generate income through short term visitors rather than memberships. However, short term pre-booking is necessary due to demand. Be sure to contact the club in advance to avoid disappointment.

The Club de Golf Altorreal has been in operation since 1994. It is located just northwest of Murcia, halfway between La Manga and Alicante. This course is set amidst very scenic surroundings.
