Designed and signed personally by Jack Nicklaus, this course is often mentioned to be one of the best golf courses on the Iberian Peninsular. The Alhama Signature offers wonderful views of Sierra Espuña, the most popular mountain range in the Region of Murcia. Its desert-style landscaping is bathed with large areas of sand covered by the Mediterranean native flora and fauna. It is a long course and American in style, with wide fairways, well designed moulded greens and 116 bunkers.

There are courses that leave their mark, and the El Valle Golf again from Nicklaus Design is no exception. “Jack” put all his style and wisdom into this design. A well defined undulating field that contrasts with the desert landscaping. The greens, always in height, are protected by large and intimidating bunkers. El Valle Golf is a course with spectacular views, from anywhere you can enjoy incredible panoramic views that transport us to those desert courses in California.

Ideally situated with the first tee 400m from our hotel , the La Torre, designed and built by Nicklaus Design is a fantastic 18-hole par 68 golf course. The courses wide fairways dominate and is contrasted by the great bunkers and lakes. Although the course is not very long it requires a lot of attention, especially on all the bunkers and lake defended greens. The turtle shell shape of the greens can carry the ball onto the obstacles that protect them.
Located in the heart of the La Torre Golf Resort, this well-appointed hotel is ideal for our week of Solos golf. With the advantage of the La Torre course being on site and our other courses a short distance away , the hotels traditional cosy style and relaxed atmosphere is perfect to enjoy after a day on the course.

Golf Club Insurance
Clients will most probably find that their golf clubs are covered on their household insurance policy. Most policies cover a single item such as golf clubs for a period out of the country. However, clients should make very sure and take responsibility that they do have adequate cover.
Buggy, Trolley & Club Hire
Most golf clubs have these items available for hire, however this is not always the case, so clients would be advised to check with us beforehand if they have any specific requirements.
Golf Footwear
Golf shoes with soft spikes are required.
What to Wear
Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings.
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.

I was so nervous about embarking on my first Solos Holiday, but I shouldn’t have been – it was the best thing I have ever done!
Wow! Got to see the famous shipwreck beach in Zakynthos with Solos. Can’t wait to discover more of their destinations!
Our tour leader Monica was exceptional! Had such a good time and will be rebooking with Solos. Thanks for a great holiday!
