Your decision to buy an apartment, townhouse or villa at one of the Polaris World golf resorts in Murcia,Spain will no doubt have been influenced by the idea of living next to and playing at some of the best golf courses in Europe. Created by Jack Nicklaus' golf course design company exclusively for Polaris World, you will get the opportunity to play the course at the resort where you live and have discounted golfing at the other eight courses that will make up the prestigious "Nicklaus Golf Trail" once it's complete. Here we take a whistle-stop tour of the golf courses at the resorts. Mar Menor Golf Course & Property The course at Mar Menor golf resort is currently a 9-hole par 36 but is being extended to an 18-hole par 72 with full clubhouse and practice facilities projected to open in Q4 2009. Make no mistake, at 9-holes this course is still a great challenge and as you'd expect from Nicklaus Design the wide smooth fairways, greens and simple shaped bunkers are in tremendous condition. Properties are located nearby to each hole which means that if you buy here you really will have a golf course in your back garden! La Torre Golf Course & Property La Torre golf resort has an 18-hole course fully complete and presents the golfer with a par 68 challenge around trees and three lakes. An accurate short game is required when playing the wide fairways which are dotted with large bunkers waiting to catch you out. And for those who like to put their driving to the test there are two par 5's to let rip on. The facilities at La Torre are first rate with driving ranges, putting greens, a pro shop and bar/dining areas. El Valle Golf Course & Property If you like your golf course in the 'desert' style then El Valle is for you. The par 71, 18-hole course across 51 hectares of rocks, native vegetation, cascading waterfalls, streams and two lakes will offer golfers of all standards a real challenge in stunning surroundings under the perfect Murcia sunshine. Exceptional facilities await you before and after your round as well as trained staff and instructors on hand to help your game. Hacienda Riquelme Golf Course & Property From an ecological point of view the golf course at Hacienda Riquelme is well designed as it's sown with Papsalum grass which needs less watering but remains in top condition for golfing. For the golfer, the course is larger than average with 18-holes and a par of 72. Fairways are lined with olive trees and wild flowers and there's five lakes. Once the old Hacienda Manor House at the end of the course has completed its renovation it will provide a spectacular backdrop to the final hole. La Loma Golf Course The La Loma resort has been designed as a sports centre resort and a 9-hole course is currently in the planning phase of construction. Once complete it will assist the resort's golfing academy and teaching centre. The course will serve to improve the game of beginners as well as providing a fun pitch and putt style challenge to more experienced golfers. Las Terrazas Golf Course & Property Another 'desert' style golf course can be found at Las Terrazas golf resort. Similar to El Valle and designed to be reminiscent of the Jack Nicklaus 'Lake' course in Las Vegas, the course at Las Terrazas is currently under construction but once complete will be one of the jewels in the crown of the Nicklaus Golf Trail. Rolling fairways and rolling greens run through the desert style dunes and around a large six hectare lake. The 18-hole par 72 will have similar characteristics to the links courses found in the UK but with the benefit of Spanish sunshine! Condado de Alhama Golf Courses & Property Notice we say courses for the Condado de Alhama resort because this great location will possess three Nicklaus Design golf courses. The first is a Jack Nicklaus Principal Signature course meaning the great man designed it himself for Polaris World. With 18-holes and a par of 72, this course promises to be the best on the Golf Trail with elevations that change sharply and four lakes providing a vivid setting. The second and third courses are in the planning phase but will be designed as 'replica courses'. This will mean 18 different holes at each course that are replicas of Nicklaus Signature Courses from around the world including: Muirfield, Royal Palm and Bayside. The first course will be reminiscent of the tropical style course found at Florida Parklands while the second will have holes selected from 240 Signature Courses in the desert style similar to Mexico and Arizona. And remember, as a Polaris World property owner and resident you have reduced tariffs for all the golf courses on the Nicklaus Golf Trail.
