Hacienda del Alamo
Hacienda del Alamo spreads across the wide, sunlit country near Fuente Alamo in Murcia, a Dave Thomas design that opened in the mid 2000s. A par 72 of about 6,724 yards, it is reckoned among the longest courses in southeast Spain, a big, generous resort layout built for sunshine golf away from the busier coast.

The verdict
Dave Thomas, the British architect behind The Belfry's Brabazon, gave Hacienda del Alamo plenty of room and plenty of length. It is a broad, modern resort course on rolling Murcian land, with wide fairways, large greens and water in play on a number of holes, the kind of layout that suits a relaxed golf holiday more than a white knuckle examination.
Set inland from the Costa Calida, it is an easy course to enjoy and a popular base for a winter sun trip, with the resort's apartments and facilities on site. For a group after warmth, space and a long ball friendly layout in the quieter Murcia region, Hacienda del Alamo makes a comfortable home for a few days.

Designer, par and length verified June 2026 from the resort and leading course databases: a par 72 of about 6,724 yards designed by Dave Thomas and opened in the mid 2000s, among the longest courses in southeast Spain.

The holes worth the trip
Hacienda del Alamo plays big and open, the fairways generous off the tee and the greens large enough to hold a long iron. Thomas used the gentle roll of the land and several water hazards to add interest, but this is a course where length helps and the average resort golfer can swing freely without feeling boxed in.
The challenge sharpens around the greens and on the holes where water comes into play, asking for a committed approach and tidy short game. From the back tees it stretches to a real test, but most visitors play it forward and find a course that gives up a fair score to steady golf.
It is winter sun golf in the best sense: warm, spacious and unhurried, a layout to enjoy over several rounds rather than survive once. Build it into a Murcia trip and it anchors a relaxed week away from the crowds.
