IRM NIKE GOLF courses 1. Mar Menor Golf Par 72 6153 meters Hosted the Final of the Europro Tour 2011 Hosted the Spanish Senior Professional Competition 2012 The first nine holes were designed by David Thomas, par 37, 3275 meters, requires good shots to put the ball in the fairways and the greens are well protected by bunkers and the surrounding lakes. The back nine holes were designed by Nicklaus Design, par 35, 2878 meters, with wide fairways this back 9 has many great holes. A special mention must be made of our own amen corner. A spectacular lake surrounding holes 13, 14 and 15, making the water the biggest obstacle to overcome. The rest of the holes are protected by strategic bunkers.

2. La Torre Golf Par 68 5403 meters, Driving Range, Putting Green, Bunker Area 15 minutes from Mar Menor Golf Hosted the Spanish Senior Professional Competition 2011 Designed by Nicklaus Design, La Torre Golf course offers 18 holes, par 68 with four sets of tees. It features over five hectares of bunkers that separate the holes, creating a strategic layout that adds importance to shot selection. Plus a denser grass was planted around the bunkers, creating the optimum wind shot effect. The course therefore offers challenging conditions and impeccable playing surfaces which make the course a pleasure to play. La Torre Golf is ideal for both average players and those with a high handicap. At the same time, La Torre Golf provides a challenge for experienced players who, teeing off from the back tees, will have to devise the appropriate strategy to find the fairway with the appropriate shot. Complete with all the perfect features for practice, La Torre Golf is undoubtedly a mandatory stop over for golfers. 3. Saurines Golf Par 72 6498 meters 15 minutes from Mar Menor Golf The course is similar to desert style golf courses designed by Nicklaus Design in Las Vegas and Arizona but with a links course philosophy. It is characterized by undulating fairways and greens between desert dunes, a shortage of bunkers and a large lake of 6 acres. A great golf course that opened the beginning of 2011.
4. El Valle Golf Par 71 6185 meters, Driving Range, Putting Green, Bunker Area 20 minutes from Mar Menor Golf Hosted the Spanish Professional Competition and the European Tour School Stage 2, 2010 & 2011 El Valle, a medium-length, par-71 golf course, is situated in a beautiful natural desert valley. Designed by Nicklaus Design, the golf course is routed in a "core" format that groups several holes together while keeping the surrounding development on the perimeter. This means a more open and natural golf experience. Rather than length, the course relies on numerous subtle strategic elements to challenge golfers. This course puts a premium on accuracy, not power, and favors the intelligent player who can manage his or her game. 5. Hacienda Riquelme Par 72 6356 meters, Driving Range, Putting Green, Short Game Area 20 minutes from Mar Menor Golf Hosted the European Tour School Stage 2, 2010 & 2011 Hacienda Riquelme is an 18 hole, par 72 course situated between the mountains and Sucina, a beautiful area that has been designated a regional natural park. The course has been designed to keep the natural look to the area, with the course weaving its way through and around wildflowers and olive trees. Hacienda Riquelme is one of the most unique courses in IRM Nike Golf. Numerous subtle and random contours featured on the greens really places an emphasis on putting. The wider than average fairways allow all golfers a great opportunity to play, with plenty of room across the contoured fairways. Setting Hacienda Riquelme apart from the other courses is the unique bunkering. The numerous amounts of large rugged bunkers are up to three meters deep. Jagged cut edges add further difficulty to the rugged nature of the course.
