- Roda Golf Course – Designed to be playable for both beginner and seasoned golfers, this David Thomas layout is a popular choice. The signature hole is no doubt the 7th, with a stunning island green.
- Mar Menor Golf Course – Located on-site at the Mar Menor Resort, each hole on this course demands attention to detail and strategic play. The beautiful lake around holes 12, 14 and 15 is particularly tricky to navigate.
