In the past few years andalucia has become a paradise for golf lovers
and one of the most importan tareas is the province of Almeria, whose
eastern Levante is expanding for both professional players and golf
tourism. With four operating courses and two more under construction
(Playa De Macenas in Mojacar) the area offers unrivalled golfing facilities.
This region with more than 3000 hours of sunshine every year offers
the chance to play golf all year round, providing an opportunity for
winter visitors from colder climates to play our courses.
Another reason for the popularity of golf tourism has been the excellent
communication system within the province, it is very easy to get to
Almeria from most of Europe as well as the rest of Spain. In addition,
visitors to the province, can enjoy many other activities, such as natural
parks, blue-flag beaches and wildlife pursuits, making it a favourite
destination for those seeking more than just golf during their stay.
The Marina Golf is located on 36 hectares in Marina de la Torre in
Mojacar, close to Garrucha and right by the beach. It is the only complex
on this part of the coast that is just metres from the sea and represents
a luxury development full of green spaces and gardens. Here housing
possibilities range from small apartments overlooking the beach to magnificent
chalets with private gardens directly overlooking the golf course.
The full swing base don Mojacar Playa, originally oponed in March 2002
to serve the people of Mojacar and the surrounding areas with equipment,
advine and apparel for golf and lawn bowling. With four golf courses
and four bowling clubs it seemed the obvious choice for a new enterprising
business.
Golf is a fast developing business in this area of the Almeria province
and a new sport for the Spanish community. With this in mind, the full
swing offers a range of equipment for all pockets allowing a beginner

Lawn bowling is very much an English sport in Spain and extremely popular,
however played along the similar lines of Petanque, which the Spanish
community has adopted, both sports are catered for in The Full Swing.
