UGOLF Mar Menor

Set in the Murcia region under year-round sunshine, Mar Menor Golf is a popular resort course that combines enjoyable play with a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Originally designed by Dave Thomas, with later additions by Jack Nicklaus, the par-72 layout offers an appealing mix of strategic challenge and playability for golfers of all levels. The par 37 front nine reflects the classic Dave Thomas style, with narrower fairways, mature trees, water hazards and well-placed bunkers demanding accuracy and careful shot selection. In contrast, the par-35 Nicklaus-designed back nine is more open and modern in character, with wider landing areas, larger greens and opportunities for a more expansive style of play.
This contrast gives Mar Menor its unique appeal, providing variety throughout the round. Excellent course conditioning, practice facilities and a welcoming clubhouse enhance the experience, while the surrounding resort adds further comfort for golf holidays.
