Campo de Golf Montepríncipe

Campo de Golf Montepríncipe is a Pitch & Putt venue in the municipality of Murcia, in the Region of Murcia. Its nine-hole course has a par of 27, with every hole played as a par 3. Alongside the course, there is a golf academy and a practice area focused on short irons, chipping and putting.

For a golfer visiting Murcia, the key distinction is the format: this is a place for short-hole golf rather than a course with a mixture of par 3s, 4s and 5s. The setting adds another consideration. The holes occupy a natural rise in the ground, bringing both uphill and downhill play into the round.

A short course shaped by the ground

Although all nine holes share the same par, they do not all ask you to judge the ground in the same way. The changes in elevation make the terrain part of the approach to each hole. Looking at the slope, as well as the distance, is part of preparing a shot here.

That combination of Pitch & Putt and natural elevation gives Montepríncipe its character. The focus remains on reaching the green and completing the hole, but the uphill and downhill holes provide a different context for those short shots. It is worth keeping that distinction in mind when choosing a short-game outing in Murcia.

Space to work on the short game

The practice area has ten hitting positions with netting for short-iron practice. This provides a separate setting for working on those shots rather than doing all your practice during a round on the course.

There are also putting and chipping greens. Together, these areas cover the strokes played onto and around the green, as well as the putts that finish each hole. They complement the nine par 3s by allowing you to concentrate on individual parts of the short game.

Golf academy

Montepríncipe also has a golf academy, adding a teaching facility to the course and practice spaces. When considering a visit, the useful distinction is between playing the nine-hole layout and spending time on a particular aspect of your game. Both the course format and the practice facilities keep the emphasis firmly on short-distance golf.
