0800 043 6644Hacienda Riquelme, as part of the renowned Nicklaus Golf Trail, was designed by the great Golden Bear, and takes full advantage of the magnificent Murcia landscape. The region stakes claim to the highest number of annual sunshine hours in continental Europe, and the Nicklaus Golf Trail presents the perfect chance for an escape to the sun.
Going hand in hand with the excellent resorts at La Torre, Mar Menor and El Valle, the course at Hacienda Riquelme is a Spanish gem. With the completion of the second nine holes, Hacienda Riquelme has been confirmed as one of the region’s best, and is a true highlight of the Nicklaus Golf Trail.

Normally this course is the highlight of our trip. However, this year the course was in very poor condition. We understand that the course was closed during Covid and this has left many problems with the course to be corrected.
First the good news, this is a great golf course, demanding and tough with accuracy essential to miss the many bunkers and if you miss the fairways you are inevitably in a lot of trouble. The bad news, the course has suffered badly from being closed for over a year, fairways are in poor conditions and the greens currently awful - patch and bumpy albeit still fast. The course needs time to recover but be in no double the layout is excellent and it will be a great course when it recovers. There is no pro shop to speak of at the moment but the other facilities are good, nice bar, driving range etc
Sad to say that they appear to have lost the course probably due to lack of maintenance during lockdown. A shame because it’s clearly a great layout. Fairways are bare, you can see that they have been heavily watered and seeded, but it’s not having much effect. Greens must have had a minimum of care during lockdown, it seems that fairway and local grasses have taken over from the normal grass, coverage is very thick and matted to the point where the ball doesn’t leave pitch marks and it’s impossible to get a good roll on the ball. I hope to never use the phrase ‘Hairy Hole Rim’ again. From a great deal of personal experience, I can confirm that the bunkers are excellent. Pro Shop is closed, there is a hut by the Practice range with minimal stock, balls, tees, drinks. Food and drinks were good though.
good course with some good testing holes bunkers werent in play as due to the heavey raines they had a few weeks earlier but course in good nick.
Greens were in awful condition, every one appeared diseased. Ball did not run true.
Tough challenge for higher handicaps..great condition, only 2 complaints too many bunkers and improved sinage on directions to holes would be good.
very good would recommend,long course
This is a typical Niklaus course and was playing fairly long for the average golfer and with far too many bunkers (that had magnets drawing my ball towards them)! the greens were in good condition as the area had experienced heavy rain just days prior to us playing.
