Saurines de La Torre Golf

Located between Balsicas and Roldán, the golf course at Saurines de la Torre Golf is one of six Jack Nicklaus-designed courses operating within a forty-kilometre radius in the Murcia region.

These new millennium golf facilities were built by the Polaris World holiday resort company and they’re all integrated into small, gated self-sustaining residential communities with their own on-site services.

Formerly known as Terrazas de la Torre Golf, Saurines is now operated by UGOLF, a leading European golf course management company which looks after more than fifty Spanish and French golf facilities, including three in Murcia: Mar Menor, Hacienda del Alamo and Saurines.

The Saurines course extends to 6,473 metres, though forward tees reduce the length to a more manageable 4,914 metres for resort golfers. The course is constructed in the style of a desert layout, characterised by vast sandy waste areas and low-lying dunes, with fairways routed around a couple of sizable lakes. Holes of note include the Redan-style par three 14th and the short par four 15th, which features a tricky raised green.
