This
new golf course, designed by Ramón Espinosa opens up the
eastern Almería región to Andalucia's ongoing golf/tourism
boom. Marina Golf is sited within the Marina de la Torre estate
overlooking the sea at the foot of the hills from which the whitewashed
Moorish town of Mojacar domintes the surrounding area.
With over 5.000 hours of sun per year and an annual average temperature
of 20 degrees we can expect to hear a lot more about this enclave.
Marina Golf covers 5.464 metres and has two distinct halves.
The first, holes 1, 2 and 12 to 18 running parallel to the sea
is flat and forgiving while the other half, holes 3 to 11, takes
a detour behind a hill and follows more undulating terrain. There
are three large lakes affecting ten holes.
Spectacular views await the golfer on the 3rd tee with the par-5
hole dropping dramatically 65 metres towards a lake and green
some 485 metres distant.
