La Serena Golf lies in the municipality of Los Alcázares (Murcia), occupying an expanse of land right next to the Mar Menor. Mainly flat, the golf course's main difficulties will be the prevailing Levante wind and the many water hazards that come into play in 16 of the 18 holes.
The course, which is not overly long, has a traditional structure. Accuracy off the tee is a must for the player, who must thread his way to the green amongst clusters of bunkers, desert areas and water hazards.
Set in some beautiful surroundings with only minimal villas and apartments nearby, La Serena is a befitting name. The golf course features gentle hills and undulating fairways, with sculptured flower shaped bunkers dotted in between lakes, greens and palm trees.
The star attractions are several large lakes, abundant with wildlife, that intertwine throughout the course. Water and lakes feature on 16 of the 18 holes, but the whole course is designed to offer the golfer alternative strategies on each hole.
