Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club

Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club

Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club, located in the serene Andalusian province of Almeria, Spain, offers a unique golfing escape on the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast. This exclusive enclave, accessible from the international airports of Almería and Alicante, stands on a picturesque plateau overlooking the Almanzora Valley. Unlike any other in Europe, its golfing landscape is a vivid portrayal of an Arizona-style desert, complete with watercourses, armadillos, cacti, and significantly less greenery than one might expect on a traditional course. The meticulous design and construction to full USGA specifications speak to the quality of the golfing experience waiting to be discovered. The centerpiece of Desert Springs is the Indiana Course, a marvel of golf course design by Peter McEvoy that encapsulates the challenging spirit of desert golf. This 18-hole, par-72 championship course mirrors the dynamics and aesthetics of the famed desert courses in Arizona and California, offering golfers sweeping views and a rigorous test of their skills. Playing on immaculate fairways flanked by massive rocky outcrops, arroyos, and dry rivers, golfers encounter a dramatic contrast between lush playing surfaces and the rugged desert landscape. Strategic play is rewarded on a course where every shot demands precision to avoid the natural hazards that give this course its distinctive character. Beyond the golfing challenge, Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club provides a comprehensive resort experience that caters to all preferences. The Clubhouse, in its elegant colonial style, is the heart of the resort, offering varied dining options overlooking the 18th green. El Torrente Restaurant delivers culinary excellence, while the Crocodile Club offers a casual dining atmosphere perfect for families. The Day Spa invites guests to indulge in a diverse menu of treatments, ensuring a soothing retreat after a day on the course. The resort's commitment to outstanding service and the rich, embracing ambiance make every visit memorable, promising more than just a game of golf but a luxury escape in one of Spain's most beautiful regions.
