Excellent value for money
Reviewed February 27, 2016
Played Lo Romero now third year in a row - and definetly will come back next year. Allways in good condition, maybe the best in the area alongside Las Colinas. Friendly and straightforward customer service. Respect for the course and the players shows!
Great course
Reviewed January 7, 2016
A great course well worth a visit. Originally meant as an urbanization but they never built the houses so the clubhouse and pro-shop are basic although nice enough. The staff are all very friendly. The course itself is great. The front nine is fairly wide open but the back nine is much tighter and a real challenge. The final hole with an island green is great fun. The greens are in good condition and not too tricky. You can play here for around 40 euro which is good value. We will be back!
Very good

Worst Golf Experience ever!
Reviewed September 9, 2013
We played this course in the beginning of september 2013. We had our tee time reserved at 08.00. Arriving at the golf club at 07.40 the reception was still closed. After opening at 07.50 we were told that the payment of the intermediary through which we booked our greenfee could not be validated. After waiting for over 1.5 hours in the office, without receiving any drink or whatsoever, Lo Romero found out that they made a mistake in the validation process, and that there was no problem. Due to the delay our two-ball tee time of 08.00 was now switched for a three-ball tee time of 09.30 just inbetween two fourballs. Where we normally are able to finish a round in 4 hours, now our round took 5 hours.
The terrible service level of the staff could not be compensated by the facilities of the course, which are poor (small ugly clubhouse, poor restaurant & menu, dirty toilets, poor dressroom facilities). The course is in pretty good shape, but the holes show little variation. The speed of the greens is quite good but the greens are in poor condition (a lot of unrepaired pitchmarks). Don't count on spectacular views or great surroundings on this course. As there are many spectacular courses with perfect service in the neighboorhoud, we recommend avoiding this course!

Dear Client,
Firstly, Lo Romero Golf welcome your comments which help us to improve.
Secondly, in response to your comments, I must indicate that I understand your feelings regarding the situation that occurred, through fault of the company from which you purchased your green fees, and which Lo Romero Golf could not collect. In these cases Lo Romero offer two options: One, you can wait and try to resolve the situation with the company or two, with the goal of not delaying your start time, pay the green fee and once the money is collected from the company, Lo Romero will refund the total. You opted for the first option, which caused the delay in your start time. The efforts of my staff to resolve this situation with the company bore fruit at 9.30 (Company office hours) resulting in the green fees being paid allowing Lo Romero Golf to give you a start time.
Lo Romero Golf, as yourselves were victims of inefficient management by the booking agent. This company should have made payment in advance.
Further more in reference to your comments regarding the club house, restaurant and toilets, I must inform you that these are temporary facilities. However they do provide the neccesary services, demanded by the clients. The facilities are also cleaned on a daily basis, without exception, ensuring the facilities are clean and disinfected.
Taking into account that you arrived at 7.40am it is not posible that you found the facilities in a dirty and unclean state, as they had only been cleaned 30 minutes before.
In respect to the greens, you were made aware that the greens had recentely been hollow tined, resulting in small holes filled with sand and the grass left slighlty longer than normal. Hence you paid a reduced price.
Lo Romero Golf deeply regrets the situation and understands your concerns, however Lo Romero Golf are not responsable for the situation that occured.
In any case, this complaint helps Lo Romero to improve and work to ensure that these situations are avoided in the future.
Lo Romero Golf in a very good shape

We played Lo Romero 4 times in the begining of mars (1-12mars) Very, very good. All was in toppform, greens and fairways. The tempo on the course was good. The personal, Jose and rest of the "Gang" are doing a toppjobb. We was 12 players (HCP 6-14)and all of us said what a god course. Johnny fr Araslövs GK (in Sweden)
Slippery greens
Reviewed September 14, 2010
A very picturesque course, where accuracy is vital. The greens were the quickest I have ever played and required a different approach to prevent the ball flying off the back. The 18th is an amazing hole, with the water surrounding the green now home to three of my balls - very difficult when the wind is blowing.
Lo Romero Golf Course is The best
Reviewed August 23, 2010
On Sat 21 st August 2010 my daughter Natasha Fear competed in your Open Costa Blanca Golf Championship. She has plyed in several of these competitions. As her Caddie She and I would like to congratulate you on The Lo Romero Golf Course, without a doubt it was The Best she has plyed on. Everything was perfect condition. The greens were "Fantastic".Tapas and drinks where served as soon as compeditors had finish their round. So much better then after the presentation when everyone is in a rush to get home. Although we had travelled 200km to Romero Golf Course. We hope to return when your Open Competitions permit.
Thank you very much

A very new course but well designed and challenging. Some great picturesque holes some of the views are breathtaking. Once a decent club house has been built it will be a great contender with Serena & Roda as well as the Villa Martin 3. I am a non player but have been with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We will be going again I know!

Very nice place, definitely play
Reviewed January 16, 2025
Played in January 2025. Compared to the other courses in the area, the fairways are surrounded by lots of trees and vegetation.
Course in very good condition, restaurant, pro shop and secretariat rather in rustic log cabin style, but functional and the restaurant very inexpensive and good.

Golf course
Reviewed January 13, 2024
The golf course reflects what has been built here over the years. The restaurant, pro shop and toilet area can be described as “rustic”. When the weather is nice, the terrace certainly has its charm with the view of lanes 9 and 18.
We only played the course once in January. The back nine is a bit more strenuous to walk. The lanes are clear and ball losses are only to be expected in the area of the “water hazards”.
The length of the fairways corresponds to the expectations that one can have of a course like this. Ultimately there are hardly any surprises or fairways that become an experience. But good to play.
I walk every place, there are no electric trolleys. The DR is a bit far away.
As in Vistabella, the DR balls are a disaster. With green fee prices now sometimes high, it should be possible to do something different. That's why only 4 stars here.

Solid golf course
Reviewed January 1, 2023
We played 4 courses in Costa Blanca in one week and this is the least I remember. I don't mind the simple barracks that house the office and cafe. I don't need a country house here. Also, the course as a whole was well maintained (apart from a few tees) and the practice facility including the range is very good. In this respect, as the first course with rental equipment, it was the right start. The course itself is then rather moderately exciting. Too often it goes straight and length is more important than precision. The layout is unsurprising and I almost found it a bit boring. This improves a little on the Back9, when it gets narrower and a green is completely hidden behind trees and bushes. For the fact that we paid the highest green fee here this week, including the cart, I would expect a little more for 5 stars. In addition, the reception was rather wooden and the cafe, with admittedly very cheap prices, could not convince with culinary delights either.

Attractive golf course
Reviewed August 21, 2022
Played on 8/18/2022 A lot has happened on the pitch since last winter. The last sandy paths have now disappeared. You can tell that there is constant investment in the space. Despite the high temperatures, the place was well attended.
Fairways and greens are in very good condition.
The price-performance ratio is right. A cart is not absolutely necessary, as the distances between the green and the tee are quite short.
The course retains a permanent place in our Spain golf program.

Played in January 2022, the course was in good condition despite Corona, the greens were very fast and the layout was challenging.
Anyone looking for a nice parkland course in the region will find it here. Very friendly staff, good lanes, holiday golf at its best,
I don't know of a better place in the area apart from La Finca which is in the same league.

Very well
Reviewed January 31, 2022
I'm not a fan of places that just fill in the gaps between townhouse developments. In this respect, this place is something very special. There is no house at all on this area. There is a large parking lot, a shack as a restaurant, next to it a hut as a pro shop and otherwise an almost perfectly maintained golf course with extremely good and fast greens, endless water, significant differences in height (there are carts) and really wonderful bunkers (the bunker sand is suitable for tours .) And he is beautiful too. The pines!, A must play for me

Really nice parkland close to the coast.
Reviewed August 24, 2021
Considering the season, the course is in excellent condition.
Wide fairways and green fair, the course develops between trees and Mediterranean vegetation with splendid rosemary beds that characterize the field. Having already played most of the courses in the Valencia south region area and the whole Murcia region area, I would definitely rate it among the best.

Very well maintained parkland course
Reviewed March 18, 2019
If you can speak of a parkland course at the golf courses around Los Alcazares, then at Lo Romero. Beautiful old trees in which a harmonious and self-contained golf course was laid, which is still free of disturbing edge development (for how long?). Great view from the 16th tee on the Mar Menor, the Mediterranean and La Manga.
The place was in a great condition for the long drought. Where can you still find an extra place marshal next to a starter, who also repairs pitch marks on the greens by hand.
Secretariat and catering were very friendly. The structures are relatively simple. For a few drinks on the nice terrace but it is definitely enough. We felt very comfortable in Lo Romero. Out of 10 places played in this region for us the number 1.

We played an 18 hole round in July 2018-
The place is slightly hilly. The layout is varied. 2 holes are unüber marked, because you do not see the water hazards (badly marked). The 18 has a nice island green. The par 3 require a little more in length.
Quality (1 Excellent, 2 Good, 3 Satisfying, 4 Well, 5 Too bad about time and money):

Conclusion: Nice place to play.
Showers unfortunately not recommended. Nice clubhouse.

Recommendation in any case
Reviewed May 8, 2018
A sporty place no question. The well maintained fairways and super fast greens had it all. Even the rough was always fair maintained and even a way off the ball was always found. Water hazards and sometimes narrow fairways with not always visible flag made the game very interesting, especially if a good result should come out. As mentioned in other reviews; The bar has little things - the taste - at fair prices. We will definitely be back!

Top place in very good condition, never boring, fast greens and always enough sand in the bunker. Does not need to shun the comparison with Las Colinas, price / performance ratio even better. Only those who expect a pompous clubhouse will be disappointed, the improvised bar offers snacks and beer at fair prices. Come again!

Due to the flat trajectory I underestimated the place to start completely. The trees, water hazards and bunkers are well placed, however, so that a strategic game is rewarded. The place to go very well and in very good Condition. So who is more athletic and not go too much emphasis on the clubhouse and Übugsmöglichkeiten, here gets offered an excellent price-performance ratio.

Golf Holidays with friends
Reviewed October 1, 2013
Due to the economic crisis of the golf course and club house alone without without holiday homes. Clubhouse is currently a wooden house but where do you get something to eat and drinken. Transfer of buggies and the reserved start time everything worked great. The place is very nice to play with some holes which must be blind or allude drives up the buggy and looks at the situation. Greens and tees were great in excess. The 18th Hole with the island green is still a challenge even when the flag inserted in the back. Course is recommended.
