SAURINES GOLF is a challenging 18-hole, par 72 desert-style course, reminiscent of the course designed by Nicklaus in Las Vegas. It combines two unique golfing experiences – a links type course (typical of Scotland) set in an Arizona-style landscape. Playing Saurines is like a British Open experience but in a Phoenix Open setting. The moulding of its fairways and greens amidst dunes and hills, and surrounded by lakes, make this a unique golfing experience.

LA TORRE GOLF is an 18-hole par 68 course by Nicklaus Design with four sets of tees. Over five hectares of elaborate bunkers separate the holes, creating strategic points and giving added value to the shots. Dense grass surrounds the bunkers, creating the optimum wind shot effect. A combination of challenging conditions and impeccable playing surfaces make this course ideal for average players and those with a high handicap, yet it preserves the challenge for experienced players who, teeing off from the furthest tee, will have to devise a suitable strategy to cover the fairway with the perfect shot.

The signature hole has to be the 18th par 4 of 356 metres, played from an elevated tee that looks over the island green. The lake surrounding it calls for the golfer to play a well-struck accurate shot on to the green, so’s to walk away with a par on a hole that will be etched into your memory for a lifetime. Located at Pilar de la Horadada, Alicante, and close to the small ports and towns on the Mediterranean and Mar Menor Sea, Lo Romero Golf has spectacular vistas of the sea. It is within easy reach of both Alicante and San Javier Murcia airports.

FEEL AND ROLL
COME FACE TO FACE. The perfect combination of feel and roll. The new Fusion RX Insert combines our Major-winning White Hot insert with an ultra-thin mesh and patented Metal-X roll pattern. The result is less skid and quicker roll, with exceptional feel. The dual-fang design and high contrast 2-Ball alignment make the 2-Ball Fang our most accurate 2-Ball ever. You’ve never felt roll like this.

Strategically surrounded by more than 20,000 olive, carob and pine trees, it has spectacular mountain views. The course is notable for its strategic use of water, which comes into play particularly on the 9th and 18th holes. This is a thinking player’s course where accuracy is more important than length.
