Roda Golf & Beach Resort has upgraded its golfing experience for visitors by purchasing thirty modern golf buggies, notably the Riversa Club Car Tempo model. This decision demonstrates the resort’s commitment to high-quality golf amenities during your golf holiday in Murcia, as well as its emphasis on environmental responsibility and player comfort.

“Golf buggies are integral to the golfing journey,” says Roda Golf & Beach Resort director José Antonio Hernández Ballesteros. “We chose these buggies with both player comfort and environmental sustainability in mind.”

The Club Car Tempo has ergonomic seating and top-tier suspension, ensuring players have a smooth ride and can concentrate on their game.

Recognising the industry’s shift towards sustainability, Roda Golf & Beach Resort has embraced it with the purchase of electric buggies. These environmentally friendly options, driven by electric batteries, are a dramatic contrast to regular petrol cars, significantly reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution, making them a golf sustainability option. Such developments not only improve the course’s environmental condition but also promise lower operational costs for the resort in the long run.

Furthermore, adding these electric buggies highlights the resort’s commitment to inclusion. Their user-friendly design appeals to golfers of all ages and skill levels. The buggies’ silent operation and better mobility enhance all guests’ gaming experience.

The response from both players and club members has been extraordinarily positive. These buggies’ increased comfort and convenience of use have surely improved the overall golfing experience at the resort. Additionally, club members applaud the resort’s aggressive approach to environmental conservation. Reduced emissions and noise levels have created a more tranquil atmosphere, and golfers take pride in preserving the region’s natural allure.

According to José Antonio Hernández, “With this investment, Roda Golf & Beach Resort reaffirms its unwavering dedication to golfing excellence, aspiring to deliver unparalleled experiences to every guest.”

Spain Top Golf Courses

Spain’s Top Golf Courses
The Advisory Council of the Club Leaders Forum has released the results of the 2024–2025 Platinum Club elections, which covered all over the world, Asia-Pacific, and Europe-Middle East areas.

Four golf clubs in Spain are among the top 150 in the world, with renowned facilities like Augusta National Golf Club, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club dominating the list.

– Real Club Valderrama (32nd): This renowned golf club in Sotogrande is known for its challenging course and has hosted the Ryder Cup and the Volvo Masters.

– Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (126th): A golf course located in Marbella, this green is recognised for its beautiful green landscapes and water hazards, providing a one-of-a-kind golfing experience in the heart of the Costa del Sol.

– La Reserva Club Sotogrande (142nd): Another treasure in Sotogrande, this golf club in Costa del Sol features a superb course design set against the Mediterranean backdrop, creating a gorgeous and strong golfing landscape.

– Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro (148th): This golf course is located in Madrid. This historic club is renowned for its rich legacy and dedication to maintaining the sport’s past in Spain. It’s closed to the general public and available to members only.

The platinum clubs and honourable mentions were chosen through an open and confidential voting procedure. The accuracy of these results has been confirmed. Clubs with the platinum designation represent the peak of global private clubs. The Advisory Council appoints a prestigious international voting group comprised of professionals and enthusiasts from 22 different countries. This committee uses seven specific criteria to create the gold standard for private club excellence.

Top-tier clubs worldwide embrace these qualities, which include widespread recognition and member quality, as well as facility excellence, superior service standards, management capability, adaptability, and overall experience. They underlie the operational culture and represent best practices, ensuring that awards are only given to organisations that are unwaveringly committed to excellence.

A proprietary point system is used to establish ranks. Panellists assign scores to each club, resulting in a total score. This aggregate score is then averaged depending on the number of panellists who voted for each team, determining its ranking position.

La Hacienda Links Acknowledged
Recently, the golf course of La Hacienda Links Golf Resort was honoured with the title of ‘Best Golf Course in Spain’ at the tenth World Golf Awards. This accolade acknowledges the significant investment by Millennium Hospitality’s owners following a transformative renovation spearheaded by architect Kurtis Bowman.

Highlighting excellence in golf tourism, this year’s World Golf Awards convened industry luminaries from over sixty-five nations spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, North America, and Oceania.

“We’re immensely proud of this recognition. It underscores the outstanding efforts of the entire La Hacienda team and Kurtis Bowman’s vision, resulting in one of southern Europe’s most distinctive courses. The allure of our landscapes, greens, bunkers, and panoramic vistas is undeniable,” enthused Javier Illán, president of Millennium Hospitality Real Estate.

This accolade caps off a remarkable year for Links de La Hacienda, following its recognition in Golf Inc.’s esteemed ‘Renewal of the Year’ competition for its par 72 design.

“This achievement is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Millennium Hospitality Group, notably our president, Javier Illán. From the outset, he envisioned positioning the resort among Spain and Europe’s elite. Recognising the resort’s potential, we’ve not only revamped our flagship Links but also introduced a rebrand. Next summer heralds the inauguration of the Fairmont La Hacienda, a luxury accommodation that promises to amplify regional tourism,” remarked Javier Jiménez-Casquet, general manager of La Hacienda Links Golf Resort.

Integral to the resort’s comprehensive overhaul was Bowman’s role in refining hole designs, landscape aesthetics, and golf sustainability measures, making it one of the most remarkable golf courses in the Seville and Cadiz area.

Collaborating with constructors GTM Golf and Garden & Golf, the endeavour encompassed tee, green complex, and bunker renovations, along with hole redesigns. These enhancements signify Links’ ascent as a burgeoning powerhouse in European golf over the past year and the star of a full remodel across the resort, becoming a fantastic opportunity for a golf break in Andalusia.

Beyond reviving the Links course and its clubhouse, the resort’s 36-hole enclave has introduced myriad enhancements to its golf and recreational offerings. This includes augmenting the eighteen-hole Heathland course. Furthermore, introducing updated accommodation packages and a transition house for Links players augments the resort’s allure. Looking ahead, La Hacienda is poised to inaugurate the Fairmont Hotel and a 213-room villa complex in 2024, solidifying its ambition to stand as Spain’s premier luxury golf destination holiday in Seville and Cádiz surrounding areas.
