Desert Springs
Desert Springs Resort & Golf Club, Europe’s only international award-winning luxury family leisure resort and championship desert golf course in the Almanzora region of Almeria in south-east Spain has teamed up with SkySports.com to offer you the chance to win a fantastic seven night complimentary golf holiday for two people staying in an apartment at The Lodge at Desert Springs in a double or twin room, including breakfast everyday and two rounds of golf per person on the championship Indiana course.
The apartments at Desert Springs are set around the unique and stunning championship Indiana Golf Course; colonial in style, set in courtyards or around swimming pools, gardens and classical Spanish patios, with their location affording them tremendous views to the golf, the sea and surrounding mountain ranges.
The outstanding Peter McEvoy MBE designed par-72 championship Indiana course at Desert Springs was inspired by the best desert courses of Arizona and California, and it is reminiscent of Scottsdale's best. The course is designed to be enjoyable, challenging and rewarding for all visitors.
Wide fairways and huge undulating greens are all are maintained to an immaculate standard. The course is littered with cacti, rocks and dry river beds which present a series of golfing challenges and encourage players to "think" their way round the course! The beautiful contrasts of colours and shapes that the landscape offers make for an amazing backdrop which is perfectly complemented by the course itself, paying homage to the key desert influences surrounding it whilst standing out like a rare and lush oasis!
The design and construction of the Indiana course was in accordance with USGA specifications throughout, and the continued development of the course's reputation has seen it recognised by a number of awards. Countless national and international tournaments are hosted at the resort, whilst the Ladies Golf Union, the Golf Union of Wales and the Royal Spanish Golf Federation choose the resort as the base for practice and competition. The resort has just played host to the Sir Ian Botham Charity Golf Series Grand Final (30th October to 1st November 2008). A host of sporting celebrities & legends from the world of Golf, Football, Horse Racing, Snooker, Athletics, Cricket and Rugby were in attendance to support of the event to help raise funds for Leukaemia Research including; Ian Woosnam OBE, Sir Clive Woodward OBE, Jimmy Case, Steve Richardson, Matt Dawson, Paul Way, D.J.
