Place recommended, service staff in the restaurant not
Reviewed January 15, 2024
The fairways are brownish in color at this time of year, but this is due to the type of grass. What visually looks like a hard surface is actually a joyful affair in terms of play. The greens, bunkers and tees were also in good condition.
The space is wide, rather short and, ultimately, quite simple - but still fun. A solid system with no frills, which is also ideal for a second or third round. When we visited, we got through in four hours in a flight of four, even though the place was pretty full.
Although there are buggies, the majority of players walked, which is easy given the flat area.
There's also a lot of fun off the course: friendly staff at reception, a decent pro shop, good parking (including a garage), a beautifully located restaurant terrace.
I can't rate the restaurant itself because the behavior of the service staff was simply subterranean. You simply leave guests standing there, don't pay them any attention and prefer to do some non-time-critical work instead of taking care of guests. It's a shame - after a few minutes of waiting, we went to the neighboring resort's restaurant and enjoyed a hearty meal.
Since the rating is primarily about sport, there is no deduction from the stars. But I didn't want to leave it unmentioned...

Well-kept course, top greens and interesting fairways. The countless bunkers make the game varied. The price is moderate. We will definitely enjoy playing this course again.

El Valle

We played this really interesting course today and can absolutely recommend a trip here. The greens were okay, the layout requires precise play.

Unfortunately broken greens
Reviewed November 3, 2021
Played today in El Valle in a hurricane wind.
The course is very nicely laid out and is somewhat reminiscent of Arizona. Unfortunately, all greens are currently infected by a fungus and not really play well.
Hopefully the greenkeepers will get this under control. Then gladly again, currently one is enough.

Very nice course but it faces the golf crisis of the region
Reviewed August 15, 2021
I played the course in august 2020 excellent desert style field, but you could already notice the difficulty of managing these mega resorts and urbanizations that started with great expectations and inevitably then found themselves in great economic difficulty due to the real estate crisis and then the covid 19. However, it is worth a visit.

Decline
Reviewed March 1, 2020
No question, the course has a very good layout. But the condition can only be described as pitiful. Greens littered with pitch marks, bunkers totally neglected, fairways peppered with divots... this is no longer the place we played two years ago and it was good to excellent in every respect. Now the policy is taking revenge on everyone, but really just letting everyone on the pitch just to make even more money. A foursome played in front of us with a total score of approximately 600 (!) Strokes. There are more than five hours of play time programmed. There is no time to repair or avenge bunkers. Marshall was first seen at 17. Geenkeeping has not covered itself with fame either. You can't put an already tight tea box in such a way that I as a left-hander can no longer pull out with the driver without touching round hanging branches. Will probably leave the place in the future.

Best Place
Reviewed March 18, 2019
Our favorite place on the Nicolaus Trail! Unfortunately, many others think that too, because we have not been able to get hold of more start-up times to reasonably tolerable times of day. Either before 8:30 or after 14:30 was the answer. Pity! In addition, only 3 days in advance can be booked. Since then you have already opted for another place.
The individual cable cars in El Valle are wonderfully integrated into the rocky landscape, especially from train 7. The edge development holds nobly back. The fairways were also perfect despite the dryness, Bermudagras thank you! The fast and often elevated greens require a certain acclimatization time. Bunkers and water hazards were not covered in the game.
A very harmonious place that we would like to play more often.

Great location but also difficult
Reviewed June 23, 2018
El Valle Golf is an excellent and very nice place, who loves Bunker feels at home here, Jack Niklas has let off steam here and it is quite an art to play a round without sand.
the complex is like all the facilities of the Niklas trails very well maintained, you should only remember that in the winter the fairways are not green but only in March -April juicy and fantastic to play.
We can only recommend this place, location is great and the view as well.

Funky landscape, challenging place
Reviewed December 7, 2017
A great place that definitely demands a lot. The championship teas want distinct length. So who is not a long-hitter, prefer to play from yellow / red! Deduction is available for the condition of greens and bunkers. A lot of pitchmarks and making the bunker smooth again are probably not among the hobbies of the numerous English teammates... In comparison to the Mar Menor less active and a little more relaxed. Clubhouse with great sea view and the 18th hole. Service and food was good too. All in all, one of the most rewarding GNK seats! Next time we will come over there again for sure!

Beautiful place with weaken in the course design
Reviewed November 23, 2017
Actually, the place has earned 5 stars, but due to the holes 9 - 12 there is a deduction.
The mentioned holes inhibit the flow of game immense, par 3, then a 300 meters par 4,270 meters par 4 downhill, so that you can reach the green with the tee and then a par 3.
So we waited on the 9 on the tee of the Vorflights, on the 10 as well, on the 11 waiting with our arrival 4 Flight and at the 12 there were then 2 Flights.
After that, the traffic jam broke up very slowly and the lap took a total of 5.5 hours.
Running is possible without any problems, there are sliding trolleys to borrow, as on all Nicklaus Trail courses. If you once had one asks yourself, why is there otherwise only the annoying drawing trolls to borrow?

A top position, necessarily play when you're in the area!

Played in February 2017th
An interesting course, slightly hilly but convenient to go.
Fast, undulating greens, many bunkers, some water.
And as a very favorable green fee (53 € + 3 € for the Spanish Federation)

Great Place
Reviewed March 13, 2016
The greens are always strongly defended by large, deep bunkers. The course is varied and beautifully adapted to the landscape. The building makes a good, unobtrusive impression. The condition of the place is good. The greens are always sublime and are slightly undulated. Highlighted was the friendliness both in ProShop as well as great local restaurant. Only criticism: For the Cart € 30 plus € 6 To pay for insurance;. fair to the cart should then also be offered directly for € 36 (resident) or € 48 (!!). This is however mE already overpriced!

False fronts!
Reviewed January 24, 2016
A very nice, Bunker rich place, as apparently all from the Jack Niclas trail sown with Bermuda grass, you have to like. Very well maintained, the peripheral development occurs much in the background, some nice houses are to be considered but essentially that's only once a golf course, any residential development with crushed between the houses paths. Sensational clubhouse terrace. The whole area is far away from surrounding settlements, so I do not want to live here. But very happy to again play a round of golf! Oh yes: de designer loves false fronts, a pity if you miss the green just: Valleys of sin on every hole!

Most beautiful place
Reviewed October 10, 2015
We have El Valle played in September 2015 around 2 times. For us, the most beautiful place around. Very sophisticated, some spectacular discounts and for mid-September (very dry period) very well maintained. Very great are the rocks that have been perfectly integrated into the square.
The court oversight is very present and has given us, because in front of us 10 Swedish Flights played unceremoniously from hole 7 hole 10 out so we could continue playing without long waits. On hole 18, we were already expected and brought about Hole. 7 Really very customer friendly!

Repeatedly
Reviewed January 11, 2015
We were once again here in December. Remains my absolute favorite in the region, very fast hand mown greens, good maintenance. Great layout. The Marshall made on 1th tea before it that the flights (was on the other Jack Nicklaus courses at this time absolutely no starter required) quickly and start on time. The course can be run without problems.

Tendency sinking!
Reviewed October 12, 2014
We know the place for quite a long time and have always been very satisfied. Unfortunately, however, this impression was not confirmed at the last visit in March 2014. For the first time we experienced rude staff, Marshall, who watched the slow flow of the game, rather than intervene actively and very poor quality of food in the clubhouse, I was allowed to "enjoy" on the flight back a second time. On the observance of etiquette is not respected, which was reflected in a lap time of five and a half hours and a miserable condition of the bunker. Too bad, because the place is beautifully laid out and a dream for everyone who likes to play a desert place. As the previous speaker already noticed the number of buggies is limited, one can place the but run well. I hope that experience remains an isolated case!

A golf course out of a picture book. You feel like in a real Western. Perfectly integrated into the landscape with numerous special discounts provoking astonishment. To play with brains pays off. Great club restaurant with views of the square and the Mar Menor. All in all a great experience.

Great place
Reviewed January 8, 2012
In January 2012, we had the opportunity of 3 now 6 of the Nicklaus golf courses in Murcia Trials to play La Torre, Hacienda Riquelme and El Valle. All three were characterized by a very good state of maintenance. El Valle liked it best because it perfectly fit right in with the countryside and offers much more freedom than usual resort courses. The greens are very difficult there, as quickly and hanging. If you do not know and the scan sector chooses not correct, it often happens that although the green meets the scan, but the ball is far later in the aprons end because the green is played at the site depends greatly. By looking into the Scroekarte can reduce this risk, since it indicates these points roughly. The sectors of the flag positions are indicated on the first tee and can be found on the Scorekkarte again: That's very good service, like everywhere. The staff is very friendly and courteous. Everything is clean and tidy. A highlight is hole 11 (par 4), where you can reach the green downhill with a good drive. Sometimes the temporary, fierce tailwind helps.
