Hacienda del Alamo Golf
A serious championship test at the heart of a large Murcia resort, Hacienda del Alamo is a Dave Thomas design that opened in the mid 2000s. At a par 72 of about 6,724 meters it has long been reckoned among the longest courses in Spain, framed throughout by natural waste ground.

The verdict
Hacienda del Alamo is the big, muscular member of the Murcia golf scene. It sits inland near Fuente Alamo on a sweeping resort estate, and the course at its center is a Dave Thomas design that opened in the mid 2000s. Thomas, the Welsh architect behind a string of strong European resort layouts, built Hacienda to championship scale, and for years it has been cited as among the longest golf courses in Spain.
That length is the headline. From the back tees this par 72 stretches to about 6,724 meters, a genuine examination of the longer hitter and a course that demands respect off every tee. Holes are framed by natural waste ground rather than thick rough, which gives the place a wild, open character and keeps recovery shots interesting. Played from the correct tees it is fair and rewarding for most standards, but make no mistake: from the tips, Hacienda del Alamo is one of the toughest driving tests on the Costa Calida.

Designer, par and yardage verified June 2026 from the resort and leading course databases; opening date is given variously as the mid 2000s, so we cite the range rather than a single year. Hacienda del Alamo was designed by Dave Thomas, a par 72 measuring about 6,724 meters from the back and long reckoned among the longest courses in Spain. It is open to visitors and resort guests and bookable year round. Indicative 2026 green fees run roughly 50 to 80 euro depending on season, with stay and play and twilight deals the best value. Fees move with season and demand, so always confirm current rates and availability directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
The defining feature at Hacienda is space and scale. Dave Thomas routed the course across open, undulating ground and let natural waste areas do the framing, so the holes feel expansive and the wind can be a genuine factor on an exposed day. From the championship tees the sheer yardage is the test: long par 4s ask for two well struck shots, and the par 5s reward the player brave enough to take the line over trouble. It is a course that flatters a powerful, accurate driver and exposes a loose one.
What keeps it fair is that the trouble is mostly in plain view. The waste ground that frames the fairways is penal if you find it but visible from the tee, so the smart play is always there for the taking. Greens are large and well contoured to match the scale of the course, putting a premium on distance control with the approach. Choose a forward tee and Hacienda transforms from a brute into a thoroughly enjoyable championship round that still feels like an occasion.
For a group of decent players who want a real test on their Murcia trip, this is the course to build a day around. It contrasts beautifully with the gentler resort layouts nearby, and the on site lodging and practice facilities make it a natural base for a serious golfing few days.
