Course description
The 18 hole Hacienda Riquelme Golf Course, designed by Jack nicklaus Design is a par 72 and 6416m course build to professional standards. The course covers an area of 71 hectares and has a stunning mountain backdrop. This course is different from the others in the Nicklaus Golf Trail, offering ample fairways are combined with hard to approach greens, and bunkers ready to complicate your game. And all of it surrounded by wild flowers, olive trees and large lakes. Riquelme's playing surfaces are grassed with the latest Paspalum varieties, decreasing the need for large amounts of fresh water. All of these features combine to give Riquelme an older look and feel, establishing the Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort as one of the most unique stops along the Nicklaus Golf Trail.
The boldly contoured greens are sure to be the most talked about feature of the course. Many of the greens are broken into several sections by strong elevation changes making it crucial for golfers to play to the correct section of the green in order to set up the easiest putt possible. The greens also feature numerous subtle random contours and rolls to further complicating putting.
As a resident at Hacienda Riquelme there is a discount off the standard green fee to €45 for the green fees for Hacienda Riquelme Golf Course, La Torre Golf Course & El Valle Golf Course. Also, there are regular special offers and twilight options. Please either visit the Jack Nicklaus Trail website or contact individual owners for more details.

Great Holiday
Our family had a great holiday in the spotless apartment, it was perfectly located near a lovely, safe pool and very comfortable. Our boys loved the pool and the park which was nearby and we loved the weather and the relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommended. Thanks very much.
