Golf
Almeria Province is becoming a very popular destination for golfers..especially during the
winter months, due to the mild temperature and beautiful location.

Desert Springs Golf Course
Just a few km away from the apartment.
The championship Indianna Course (par 72), designed by Peter McEvoy, will present a challenge to
both high and low handicappers. As Almeria Province has some desert like landscape, this course is
visually stunning as soon as you arrive at the entrance. PGA professionals, practice facilities and pro
shop are just some of facilities available. It's a good place for lunch too; food is available in 'El
Torrente' restaurant in the clubhouse or a light snack out on the deck area. Recommended.

Valle del Este
A few km drive in the opposite direction takes you to Valle del Este. Another beautiful course (par
71), also with PGA Professional, pro shop and practice facilities. 'Fairways Restaurant', or 'Hole in
One Venues Bar' offer a good choice of food.

Club de Golf Playa Serena
This par 72, 6226 metres course is situated in Roquetas de Mar, about 1 hour south of the
apartment. Roquetas was once a fishing town, but now it's a popular tourist destination with fine
beaches and nice restaurants. The golf club here is also a nice place for lunch. Club, buggy hire
and professional coaching available.

Golf Almerimar
Just a few miles south of Roquetas is the 27 holes at Almerimar Golf. Designed by Gary Plyer, the
setting is fabulous; right on the coast just behind the lovely Almerimar Marina. This is a good
place for a visit...good restaurants at the Marina, lovely beaches and challenging golf.

La Envia Golf and Country Club
Located in a beautiful valley in the mountains of Vicar, the par 70 La Envia Golf and Country Club is
only 20 minutes inland from the city of Almeria, or 1 hour from the apartment. It has spectacular
views from the course and a lovely terrace for lunch afterwards.
