Mar Menor is a stunningly attractive layout set within a Mediterranean landscape of lush vegetation and palm trees.

The course was originally designed as nine holes by renowned architect Dave Thomas then extended to 18 by the great Jack Nicklaus. Both halves have their own character with the Thomas-designed nine winding through beautiful properties and Nicklaus' half presenting many water hazards and bunkers.

Mar Menor demands a good deal of shotmaking, but the soft contours of the land ensure it is not too tricky for the average player with plenty of recovery areas.
