Santa Elena Golf Club is an 18-hole course (par 72) by Dave Thomas from 2004 in Fuente Álamo de Murcia, with 6 short holes beside it. It is about 1 hour by car from Lago Rosa Apartment.
You may also find this club under its old name, Hacienda del Álamo. From the black tees it is a long course of 6,724 metres, from the whites 6,153 metres, so you can play it as long or as reasonable as you like. The operator describes it as well integrated into its natural setting.
The nice thing about this address is the executive course of six short holes, designed for beginners. If someone in your party has little experience, they can practise there in peace while the rest play the full round. That makes Santa Elena a good option for a mixed party, though you do need to drive further than for the Vega Baja courses.
Practice
