As soon as you drive into the resort you notice the stunning apartments set high on the hillside. As you continue, you drive adjacent to the third fairway, and see perfectly manicured fairways and greens until you reach the reception at the clubhouse.

First impressions are superb. You’re greeted with a warm smile, ice damp towels and a refreshing glass of Cava. You’ve arrived at Desert Springs!

Everything is quality, from the brand new Srixon range balls to the perfect turf to strike them from. As a PGA Professional, who takes groups abroad on tuition trips, the practice facilities are vitally important and they don’t disappoint. In fact, some, if not the best I’ve had the pleasure to use and enjoy. I’m talking worldwide.

For our trip, we stayed in two bedroom apartments. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Two bathrooms with one being an en-suite.

The golf course is a great test of golf that enjoys far reaching views of the beautiful region. Mountains to one side and the ocean to the other. What’s not to like!

Fine wine and delicious cuisine is available in the clubhouse restaurant. The waiting staff are alert, polite and attentive.

I’d recommend a visit to the Crocodile Pool Bar & Club if you stay and enjoy an aperitif before supper.

Personally, for me, it’s the staff that make this resort truly “world class”. It’s how you are made to feel. That’s what you remember.

I’ll be back!

First experience when I walked into the club house, all the staff had a smile on their face and made you feel welcome.

This golf has good practice facilities, good short game area, and good condition range balls.

The course is in good condition, and playable for all levels of golf.

The accommodation was modern and clean, the restaurant and food were excellent, with great service.

Great set up course was immaculate millionaires golf.

Playing 18 holes on this course has been quite a challenge.

We came from afar on the recommendation of family members and it was undoubtedly a success.

In addition to a well-maintained course, the resort also has exceptional front desk professionals who make you want to come back.

The Club House is very tidy and really well presented from the moment you enter.

The staff are more than happy to help you with anything you need and provide a very welcoming environment.

Tees and fairways in perfect shape.

Greens were aerified, so irregular and slow.

But generally speaking is a nice, challenging and beautiful golf course.

Very friendly staff and the course is in good condition considering the temperatures here.

The fairways are quite narrow and in good condition, very nice to play. I’d love to come back.

Hi Laura,

Thank you very much for all your hard work in making our stay at Desert Springs such a fun time. We particularly enjoyed the apartment 154 which we thought was terrific with super views of the mountains and the pool area. The reception staff and welcome pack were also of a high standard.

We tried to come and see you and Natalie to say thank you but were unable to find your office.

Many thanks and we hope to be with you again in 2025.

Yours sincerely,

Lindsay and Peter Young.

Hi Simon,

I want to say a big thank you to everybody at Desert Springs, for the fantastic way they looked after my Captain’s drive in day, the day was a brilliant success, and I want to thank everyone who was involved, my special thanks and appreciation goes to Javier who went above and beyond to make the day a huge success, he is without a doubt an asset to Desert Springs.

The Mayor of Cuevas del Almanzora, Antonio Fernández, thoroughly enjoyed Desert Springs hospitality and wishes to pass on his thanks to you, your staff, and the catering team for a wonderful meal.

I also wish to thank, the pro’s for giving their time to raise money for the charity, which in total amounted to €5,000 on the night.

Once again a very big thank you to you, and all at Desert Springs.

Kind Regards
Club Captain

Dear Simon,

I hope you are well.

I am writing to send my thanks to all of your staff for their hard work and effort in dealing with everything connected with the golf and the gala dinner for Club Championship.

It was my last event as Captain and one of the big days that many owners and members come to Desert Springs to be involved with and I am so grateful to everyone for helping to make the day and evening so successful

Oana, Kate, Juani and Fran all had a busy time dealing with golf registration and meal options and despite none of the reception team having dealt with a ‘big day’ at Desert Springs before, under Oana’s leadership, they all performed to the highest standard, always smiling and being totally professional and so helpful.

I would also like to highlight Javier and the F&B team for ensuring that everyone had an amazing evening. The meal was so delicious and the service was excellent. The level of customer care shown by every member of staff was exemplary.

I met several times with Javier, in advance of the evening, to make the arrangements and nothing was ever too much trouble and he is so calm and takes everything in his stride. Javier communicated with me regularly to advise and check on progress of the plans and to assist in any way he could.

Your staff are all a credit to you and to Desert Springs overall. Thank you to them all.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi Javier,

Just a quick note to acknowledge the effort of the kitchen and front of house teams who did the service at last night’s dinner.

The food was most enjoyable and the whole service as very efficiently “marshalled” by Juan and Luna – well done and thanks to all concerned.

Best wishes

A fantastic New Year’s Eve celebrating the start of 2024.

Adria and all his staff made it an excellent evening (and early morning) all round.

Food and service 1st class.

Thank you.

Had our Christmas Day meal here and it was absolutely amazing….the food, drinks and the staff made our Christmas Day perfect.

This was the Residents of Desert Springs resort Christmas dinner.

The food was just amazing, great tapas to start with lots of choice and a wonderful steak for main course, it was all so good.

The service amazing, the El Torrente staff are fantastic.

Great music and a wonderful atmosphere.

Well done to Adrià and all of the team. Thank you.

Excellent place, top quality food, adequate price and great service…

I would definitely recommend it and I will definitely come back.

Hi Oana,

Hello, good afternoon.

Back home after spending a fantastic day of golf with friends.

We have enjoyed an exceptional course that has tested our golf skills.

From Golf & Food we want to thank Desert Spring for inviting us.

We will be in contact to find out about the offers to organise our trip that will take place in the month of May.

Thank you very much, greetings!!

Good morning Oana,

Would like to thank you for yesterday.

We love desert springs and the reception you gave us was great.

The ‘Hole-In-One’ was an added bonus so can you thank Alexandra for sorting my certificate.

So, thanks once again and Feliz Navidad.

Bill Foster

Good Morning,

The response from our players was really positive, the course was in great condition, they enjoyed the day, and stayed for some refreshments afterwards.

We will see you in 2024.

Lunch with friends, from one of their Christmas menus.

We were luxurious in a separate dining room, with an ideal service and great food.

I had only been once before, but I hope to repeat many more.
