Golf is great despite poor weather for the time of the year.
Very good course and excellent service from the golf team…… Overall the golf resort of Desert Springs is well worth a visit.
My husband and I have been playing this course at least once a year, one week per visit.
Everything is perfect about this golfing holiday, the course, weather, the stay, staff…. We are going again in a month’s time!
I would like to thank the management and staff at Desert Springs Resort in Almanzora for a fabulous few days in the November sun. Everyone was so helpful, the accommodation was great and the food superb. It was my first visit to the resort, I doubt it will be my last. Special thanks to the Golf Operations Manager Alfonso Castineira Marcos for the tips on the range and the course.
Kind regards
Mark Bright

Hello Simon,
I hope all is well. I can’t believe it’s been a week already!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Desert Springs. The hospitality was fantastic and the accommodation was superb, it’s definitely a place I would return to. Myself and the referee’s thought the course was set up fair and the greens were fantastic, praise goes to Anthony and his team.
I hope you have an excellent end to the season and best wishes for 2017.
Many thanks
Jamie

‘We booked a golf break with some trepidation, but we need not have worried. My non golfer husband and I both had a great week.
The booking process, standard of accommodation and mechanics of the holiday were all great, designed to meet our own particular needs and very well organised.
The golf experience was a revelation. Neil is an excellent coach. His straight forward instruction, based on careful observation, is easy to implement – and it works! My handicap is on the way down and I’m already looking forward to the next time.’

Both throughout my playing career and after, I have been privileged to have been invited to participate in numerous golf events at some of the most luxurious locations all around the world.
Hosting your own event, in your own name, for the charity of which you are President can be a daunting task. Certain criteria have to be met by the host venue both for the celebrity guests and the amateurs.
Desert Springs as a venue offers my guests a relaxing ambience, a unique experience and an underlying overall charm. It has lots of quality facilities to enjoy besides world class golf. Its staff afford a warm welcome and unrivalled professional service
That is why my decision to host the Ian Botham Charity Golf Classic in aid of Leukaemia Research at Desert Springs in October 2008 was an easy one and due to its phenomenal success, why I have selected Desert Springs to host the final of my next Charity Golf Series.

The course is challenging but excellent and the food in the clubhouse was great.

26 golfers went to this fine golf course, the staff were excellent the course superb. only set back bar staff not enough and very slow.
5th time here and will recommend it to all golfers, a little tricky for the higher handicap
Hi,
Just a quick email to say thank you for your making our stay very, very enjoyable. The delightful lady on reception, I think her name is Gulia, for ensuring that the bright red shirt was duly sold with an effervescent, fun attitude. Very efficient and a credit to your organization.
The food was excellent, well presented and very tasty. The restaurant staff were patience personified, bearing in mind some of our dreadful time keeping. The accommodation was as one would expect from a quality resort, and as this was my third visit, (The first 15 years ago, when the club house was the white marquee next to the putting green) the 4 days just flew by.
I will happily return in due course, and if I can persuade my wife, bring her with me. The golf would be academic in that instance.
Kindest regards
Ian Wallace
