Europe's first desert golf course

The immaculate fairways are set amongst massive rocky outcrops, arroyos and dry rivers. The vivid contrast of the 'desert springs' and the emerald green fairways with the arid landscape of cactus, rock and flowering desert, is stunning at all times of year.

The Golfing Life at Desert Springs

The aim of the Desert Springs Golf Club is to offer golf in a relaxed atmosphere of camaraderie and good fun, to provide the best possible golfing experience to all golfers, members, guests and visitors alike and to ensure that the Indiana Course can be enjoyed by players of all abilities.

"Having last been here in 2004, the first thing I noticed was how mature the landscaping had become. It's a course that provides you with a test for every shot you have in your bag. The course is in immaculate condition with greens of equal quality to those we play our own tour events on. If you want to hone your game, immaterial of what standard of golfer you are, then this is the place to come!"

Desert Springs is a very stimulating test of golf. It is a thinking mans course, not easy to overpower but one that requires excellent course management skills. I really enjoyed it and felt it tested my skills fully.

I actually found myself hitting my driver a lot at Desert Springs. It is a course that demands accuracy and thought but it does allow you to attack and make birdies. I found it a superb looking course and in top class international condition. It is a genuine test.

Loved the course; a proper shot making course. I made loads of birdies, which was great, but I got penalised for bad shots. That’s the way the best courses treat you. One of the most refreshing courses I’ve played in along time and one I look forward to re-visiting, I don’t think it would ever be boring.

The Indiana Course

Inspired by the famous desert courses of Arizona, the Par 72 Championship Indiana Course has been built to full USGA specifications. It presents unforgettable views, and golf of such a dramatic nature that it can be said to have taken not only desert golf, but also golf in general in this part of Spain to a new level of excellence.

The Clubhouse

The Spanish colonial style building is surrounded by giant terracotta ‘tinajas’, traditional old olive oil jars, and provides everything you could need in terms of dining, comfort facilities and golfing services.

The Golf Academy

The Golf Academy includes facilities and services which enables golfers of all standards from the beginner to touring professional, to improve their playing ability. The Academy is a world-renowned centre of excellence for both teaching and learning the game of golf, providing practice facilities for Elite International, National and County squad members, PGA European Tour and LET members.
