Saurines de la Torre

Saurines de la Torre Golf is an 18-hole, par‑72 desert-style course that offers a very different feel to the typical resort layout. Wide, undulating fairways wind between waste areas and native landscaping, with a huge central lake coming into play on several holes. There’s an emphasis on shot placement and imagination around the greens rather than pure length, making it both fun and testing for a range of handicaps.

Discover the Course

Saurines de la Torre’s 18‑hole, par‑72 course delivers a distinctive desert‑style challenge that feels very different from typical resort golf. Wide, rolling fairways are bordered by sand and waste areas rather than trees, with a huge central lake and bold green complexes that reward clever shot shaping and precise distance control.

Several standout holes flirt closely with the water, offering classic risk‑reward options where an aggressive line can set up birdie – or a trip back to the drop zone. The greens are usually firm and fast, with strong contours that demand touch and imagination.

With multiple teeing options and a walkable layout, Saurines suits mixed‑ability groups – from low‑handicappers who enjoy a strategic test to holiday golfers looking for something visually striking, memorable and a bit different from the norm.
