Roda Golf And Beach Resort is surrounded by lush Mediterranean shrubs and palm trees, this popular golf resort located in Murcia Region is just 1.5km away from the warm waters of the Mar Menor, Europe's largest saltwater lagoon.
But golfers from Europe frequent this resort to playing at the par 72 18-hole championship golf course designed by Dave Thomas, a British golf architect. The course has greens that have an average size of just under 11,000 square meters and are constructed to USGA standards. The fairways are wide and flat with man-made mounds which adds distinction to the holes. 3 strategically placed lakes were skillfully added to the course to introduce water hazards to at least 6 of its holes making the round more challenging. Prominent among the holes where water comes into play is the signature hole of Roda, the par 3 Hole no. 7 island green. Overall, the course design is a bit tough yet rewarding for players of all levels. With the front nine being more demanding and the back nine a little forgiving.
The resort has an impressive clubhouse with a modern and stylish restaurant and bar. It has a well-stocked pro shop, a golf academy for both juniors and adults, a practice facility for driving, greens for putting and chipping, and rental services for clubs, trolleys, and electro-trolleys and buggies.
