However, Murcia’s appeal goes far beyond the sport itself. Each course opens up a gateway to the rich culture, mouth-watering cuisine and the awe-inspiring nature of southeastern Spain. After a day on the green, the rich flavours of the Mar Menor, fresh vegetables from the Murcia orchards and local wines provide the perfect complement. In this way, golf becomes a journey through the very essence of the Mediterranean: calm, radiant and deeply authentic. Wine tourism also emerges as the perfect ally. Less than 40 minutes from the main courses, the wineries of Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas invite you to explore the Monastrell grape variety and its century-old heritage. An experience that blends precision and artistry, where golf technique meets the ritual of wine to create unforgettable memories. Accessibility is another key strength: The Region of Murcia Airport (RMU) and Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport provide convenient connections across Europe, while each course offers detailed information on transport and accommodation. Resorts, boutique hotels and seaside villas round out an offering designed for relaxation, exclusivity and pleasure. In Murcia, every golf shot tells a story beneath the sun. An experience that transcends sport that is calling you to embrace the authentic Mediterranean lifestyle, where time stands still between the green fairways and the blue horizon. Location The Region of Murcia is situated in southeastern Spain, nestled between Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha and the Region of Valencia. It offers access via the A-7 and AP-7 motorways, the Region de Murcia International Airport, the port of Cartagena and rail connections to Madrid and the Mediterranean coast.
