Very Good See all 10 reviews

Found on the glorious coast of Costa Almeria, the outstanding par-72 championship golf course at Desert Springs was inspired by the best desert courses of Arizona and California, and it is reminiscent of some of Scottsdale's best. Desert Spring’s unique design has made it a Spanish favourite, ranked in the county’s top 60 courses.

Desert Springs is located in the Almanzora, a beautiful part of the Spanish coast, a region that boasts a unique desert microclimate where the winters are sunny and dry. This phenomenal environment makes Desert Springs the ideal place for any holiday, with the numerous entertainment and dining options on the resort only enhancing the experience.

Desert Springs Resort

The fairways are wide and the undulating greens are extremely large, but all are maintained to an immaculate standard. In keeping with Desert Springs' influences, the course is littered with cactus, rocks and dry river beds which present considerable obstacles. The beautiful contrasts of colours and shapes that the landscape offers make for an amazing backdrop which is perfectly complemented by the course itself.

The design and construction of Desert Springs was in accordance with USGA specifications throughout, and the continued development of the course's reputation has seen it recognised by a number of awards; in addition to countless national and international tournaments, the English Golf Union, the Welsh Ladies Golf Union and the Royal Spanish Golf Federation choose the resort as the base for practice and competition.

Given that a number of prestigious golf union's use Desert Springs as a winter base, it should come as no surprise that the resort has an outstanding practice facility, where you can hone your skills or benefit from expert tuition.

The Country Villas are detached 3 and 4 bedroom properties that border directly the terrific Indiana golf course. The style of the construction and décor is reminiscent of the cortijos and haciendas of Almanzoro and the Levante region, and all have a gated front court, walled garden and a private swimming pool, blessed with spectacular views. Enjoy the cool air of the colonnaded verandas, or the evening sunshine on the roof terraces as you experience the year-round sunshine of one of Europe's sunniest climates.

The Colonial Apartments and Townhouses at Desert Springs draw influence from the local villages of the region, and provide fantastic views of the golf course, shoreline and the surrounding mountains. The apartments are set in courtyards around swimming pools, patios and gardens, and each offers guests the use of a car park, swimming and splash pools, and a private roof solarium.

Desert Springs also offers Country Cottages which are roughly based on the traditional mining houses of the 19th century. The style may be influenced by days of old, but the interior of all cottages have been equipped with the best in modern conveniences and amenities, ensuring a truly comfortable stay.

These great options guarantee that there is a 5* accommodation choice to suit every demand, allowing visitors to relax and take advantage of all that the superb resort has to offer.

The self catering apartment was comfortable, ground floor with 2 bathrooms. The only issue was the air conditioners in the bed room and living room were both noisy and had to be turned off at night

A true test of your golfing abilities, the course punishes errors but rewards those who find greens and fairways. Lots of challenges as you plot your way around the course.

Desert Springs is one of the enjoyable golf courses we have played in! Hence we come back every year! The greens are in fantastic condition and the green keeper always finds some challenging pin positions! The only drawback is the increasing number of rabbit holes in some of the fairways, it used to be just the 11th but now few more. Sometimes the ball rolls in it or you are likely to twist your ankle when walking the course. Apart from that a great course!!
