Morning Simon,
Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful week at Desert Springs.
As always, the team were incredibly attentive and the course in stunning condition.
A perfect tonic for the grim UK weather.
Have a great week and take care!

Good morning Oana,
Just a quick note to thank you and the team at Desert Springs for your help when we visited last week.
It was a pleasure to meet you after so many emails.
We all enjoyed the course and a beer afterwards.
My visitors all enjoyed being there as I do every time I play the course.
Best regards

I hope you’re still enjoying the weather in Spain , not so great here!
I just wanted to Thank you for allowing me to spend a few amazing days at Desert Springs .
Everything was perfect . The Golf course was in great condition and offered challenges every hole , the practice facilities were fantastic – I especially liked the idea of the flat green and slopey green , one for stroke , one for lag putting.
Off the course , the accommodation was luxury and the food was absolutely spot on , all of the guys commented on how awesome the food was .
Lastly , Paul was an exceptional host , organised , great to be around with tonnes of stories . Every part of the trip was exceptional and will last long in my memory . I’ve already been singing its praises to all of the guys and I’m sure I’ll be booking for the Pro – Am.

Hola Oana,
Thank you so much for accommodating Amigos Golf Society at Desert Springs yesterday.
We had a great Society Competition; the course was excellent as was the weather and you looked after us so well both on and off course.
My Amigos who had not experienced Desert Springs before were amazed and will certainly revisit and those who did not make the trip down from Murcia will be so disappointed!
Please keep in touch.
Graham.
Spectacular place, peaceful, and with excellent service. We had brothy rice with scallops, octopus, and clams—it was absolutely delicious. The prawns “al pil pil” and the anchovies with olive caviar were also outstanding.
Definitely a place to return to!
On December 30th, we had dinner at El Torrente, a Mediterranean restaurant located within the Desert Springs Golf Resort. The setting was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the golf course and the beautiful architecture of the restaurant creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance perfectly complemented the exceptional quality of the food and the attentive service we received.
Every detail reflected a commitment to excellence, making it a truly memorable experience. El Torrente is undoubtedly a restaurant we will return to, and we are especially looking forward to experiencing it again during the summer months.
Special location, fantastic service, incredible experience, and the very kind staff who take great care of the customers.
Completely satisfactory experience. Friendly and professional team. Excellent food. Well-rated.
Delicious food in a beautiful setting with great kindness.
Excellent service, 10/10 food, reasonable prices, and a perfect atmosphere in a privileged setting.
El Torrente Restaurant at the beautiful Desert Springs Golf Resort really left us speechless. We’ve never eaten so well anywhere in Spain! No matter what you choose, you’ll experience the highest level of taste: perfect aromas, excellent quality dishes, and a presentation that will take you to a culinary paradise. The wine is so special that even Dionysus would envy it.
The setting is breathtaking and surrounded by nature, and the staff attends to each guest with professional care. Thank you for this wonderful experience; we’ll be back soon!
A simply magical place. This place is radiant. We had lunch inside the restaurant, although it was very pleasant outside. Both indoors and outdoors are beautiful, except for the fact that inside it has air conditioning… the food is truly exquisite. We had fun. Remember to bring extra sides because they aren’t included with the dishes, not even French fries, mashed potatoes, or salad. We can’t wait to return.
The staff is smiling and very helpful. The dishes were served fairly quickly. I recommend this place 200%.
Hi Simon,
On behalf of the European Tour Group, I would just like to express my sincere thanks to everyone at Desert Springs for hosting the Qualifying School again this year. There is no doubt that the week was a great success and built on all that has been achieved over recent years. The general condition of the course was better than ever and provided the best playing surfaces I have ever seen at the resort. It was also very “clean” in the desert areas which made it a lot neater and a lot more equitable for the players. Ricardo and his team deserve our congratulations of all their efforts to deliver such a good course.
Having a good week of weather clearly helped – until Sunday when the storm came along to throw a spanner in the works! It’s such a pity that this hit the area but given the catastrophic conditions seen across some parts of Spain, Desert Springs probably got away lightly. Thankfully, we were able to conclude the tournament the following morning.
It was fantastic that we were able to complete our new agreement prior to this year’s tournament and we are delighted to be able continue our association with Desert Springs for a further three years. I’m glad that we had the opportunity to raise a glass to our ongoing collaboration and the future success of the Q School at Desert Springs.
Whilst the dates are in the new agreement, for the record I can confirm that the tournament will be in the same week next year with the following schedule:
| Day | Round |
| Tuesday 28th October | Practice |
| Wednesday 29th October | Practice |
| Thursday 30th October | Round 1 |
| Friday 31st October | Round 2 |
| Saturday 1st November | Round 3 |
| Sunday 2nd November | Round 4 |
| Monday 3rd November | Reserved in case of curtailment to play |
Thank you for all your support and to your whole team for making us so welcome at Desert Springs. We look forward to returning in 2025!
Many thanks
Regards
Mike Stewart
Director of Qualifying School
We celebrated our wedding at the restaurant, and the service, attention, and food were excellent, always adapting to our requests and needs. They were always available to assist us, and we felt at home.
Special mention to Javier, José Manuel, and Juan. Both the ceremony, the cocktail, and the menu were excellent, and the guests were very happy.
Thanks to the entire Desert Springs team! We are very grateful and recommend it 100%.
A wonderful dinner. Excellent service, especially Amara, such a delight. Definitely a place to repeat.
