If you're looking for a getaway that blends nature, sport, relaxation and culture, Murcia is your ideal destination. This region in southeastern Spain has become a true paradise for golf lovers, thanks to its top-class golf courses, breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes and a mild, spring-like climate for most of the year. And if you want everything within easy reach, Posadas de España Cartagena is the perfect base from which to explore it all.

High-Quality Golf Under the Murcia Sun

One of Murcia’s greatest assets is its wide selection of golf courses, many of them designed by world-renowned architects such as Jack Nicklaus, and created to suit both experienced players and those looking to improve their game in a dreamlike setting.

La Serena Golf is one of the region’s most attractive courses, located by the Mar Menor and designed by Manuel Piñero. This par 72 layout stands out for its strategically placed lakes and the coastal breeze that adds both beauty and complexity to the game—an unmissable stop on any golfing escape in Murcia.

Among the most prestigious courses is El Valle Golf, a par 71 course stretching 6,185 metres, designed by Nicklaus Design. Regarded as one of the most technical courses in the region, it sits in a natural valley surrounded by limestone hills. Its narrow fairways, deep strategically placed bunkers, small and fast greens, and natural rocky and sandy hazards demand accuracy and tactical focus at every hole.

Just a few kilometres away, you'll find Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort, also designed by Jack Nicklaus. This par 72 course spans 6,356 metres and stands out for how seamlessly it integrates with the area's original agricultural landscape. The course features generous fairways, large undulating greens with up to five platforms, ornamental lakes and a layout open to the wind, creating a links-style experience that's unique in the region.

Mar Menor Golf is also worth a visit, offering a varied layout that alternates between strategic, technical holes and more open ones—perfect for enjoying the game without sacrificing a challenge. Other notable courses include La Torre Golf, Saurines de la Torre Golf—with its desert-style design, wide greens and no rough—and Hacienda del Álamo Golf, one of the longest courses in Spain at 6,724 metres. All of them are within a short drive from Cartagena, making it easy to enjoy a versatile, comfortable golf getaway in a stunning natural setting.

Cartagena: Living History by the Sea

After a day on the fairways, there's nothing better than immersing yourself in the charm of Cartagena, an ancient city that blends history, art and Mediterranean spirit. From the Roman Theatre to the Punic Wall and the city’s modernist architecture, Cartagena is a place to be savoured slowly—on foot, and with a sense of discovery.

Its gastronomy is another of its treasures: fresh seafood, vegetables from the fertile Murcian plains, rice dishes, tapas and, of course, the famous Cartagena salad and local fish stews—perfect for recharging after a round of golf.

Climate, Culture and Warm Hospitality

One of the biggest advantages of planning a golf break in Murcia is its mild, sunny climate. With over 300 days of sunshine a year and pleasant temperatures even in winter, this region lets you enjoy golf in any season, surrounded by nature, palm trees and gentle hills that frame each course beautifully.

And we can't talk about Murcia without mentioning its people: warm, down-to-earth and authentic, always ready to offer a smile, a local tip, or a good meal shared in good company.
