El Valle occupies a genuine desert valley in Murcia, its fairways threading between rocky limestone hills a short drive inland from the coast. Jack Nicklaus designed the course, which opened in 2007 as part of the Nicklaus Golf Trail, and it has since hosted the OKI Open de España Senior on the European Senior Tour along with European Tour qualifying events.
This is a course built on options rather than muscle. Nicklaus gives golfers several lines off the tee, then defends elevated, well-protected greens that ask for precision on the approach. The desert vegetation and native rock outcrops are as much a part of the challenge as the bunkering, and the layout rewards a golfer who thinks a hole through before committing to a club. At 6,355 metres and par 71, there is enough length to test without ever feeling like a slog.
A clubhouse terrace looks straight down over the course and valley below, the ideal spot to replay the round afterwards. Book El Valle for a genuinely different test on the Costa Cálida, backed by tournament pedigree and a setting unlike anything else in the region.

El Valle is a beautiful course. Very nice layout with some challenging holes and some aeasier ones mixed in. The greens are fast but true, Out of the five courses in the area, these greens were my favorite.

Das Spiel auf El Valle war ein Genuss. Vom Empfang bis zur Terrasse nach der Runde war dieser Platz jeden Cent wert. Abwechselungsreiche Spielbahnen mit gut platzierten Bunkern, mit anspruchsvollen Wasserhindernissen und modellierte Grüns waren ein Golferlebnis. Dabei war der Platz fair zu spielen. Kürzere Spieler vom Tee sollten sich nicht scheuen, auf blaue Abschläge zu gehen.

Really enjoyed the course. Fairways very nice to play off. Greens are a good surface but spoilt by hundreds of plug marks… no fault of the course, just poor etiquette of so called golfers. Good layout and interesting holes.
