The 18 hole Hacienda Riquelme Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is a par 72 and 6416m course built to high professional standards. The course covers an area of 71 hectares and has a stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the coast. This course is different from others in the Nicklaus Golf Trail (a group of six golf courses that make up Europe´s best golf) offering ample fairways that are combined with challenging greens, and bunkers ready to complicate your game. All of which is surrounded by wild flowers, olive trees, large lakes and an abundance of history.

PGA Professional's view

“Someone has managed to find Mr Nicklaus a very fine tract of land to work with here at Hacienda Riquelme and I feel that he has produced a very worthy addition to the Nicklaus Trail. The course has a very linksy feel to it in places and the obviously rough cut look to the bunkers adds to this. One thing you will all be glad about is the lack of these dreaded wasteland areas to be found on many courses in our region. Another pleasing aspect to the layout is how the properties have been set back from the course itself and at no time do they feel as if they are encroaching on your game.

Many of the yardages of the greens are quite deceptive as many of them are slightly elevated and heavily protected by bunkers so as a general word of advice take a club more than you think."
