Club Golf Playa Serena

Club Golf Playa Serena brings together two golf formats in Roquetas de Mar, in the province of Almería, Andalusia. For a golfer planning a visit, the main distinction is between Playa Serena, an 18-hole, par-72 course, and Pares 3, a nine-hole, par-27 layout. A golf academy and restaurant complete the club’s facilities.

The setting is characterised by broad fairways, nine lakes and greens protected by bunkers. Mediterranean vegetation is another defining feature, while the lakes and the course ecosystem encourage the presence of wild birds. There is more to take in here than the playing surfaces alone.

The 18-hole course

Designed by Peter Allis and Ángel Gallardo, Playa Serena is the club’s 18-hole option. Its par of 72 distinguishes it from the separate par-three layout and provides the starting point for choosing which course to include in your visit.

Wide fairways are a notable part of the course’s character, alongside the water and greenside bunkers. Those features give a fuller picture than the fairway width alone: open playing corridors sit within a landscape of lakes, with bunkers providing protection around the greens.

A landscape shaped by water

The nine lakes are a prominent element of Playa Serena’s identity. Together with the Mediterranean vegetation, they give the golf setting a character that extends beyond the layout of its holes.

The water also forms part of an ecosystem that supports the presence of wild birds. If you enjoy noticing the surroundings as you play, the relationship between the lakes, vegetation and birdlife is a worthwhile aspect of the course to keep in mind, alongside its golfing features.

Nine-hole golf and the academy

Pares 3 offers a different format within the same club: nine holes with a total par of 27. It sits alongside the 18-hole course as a separate part of the golf offering, rather than simply another name for the main layout.

The club also has a golf academy, Escuela de golf. Between the academy and the two courses, Playa Serena’s facilities cover more than a single round on one layout.

Eating at the club

Restaurante Playa Serena provides an on-site dining option. For visitors putting together a golf day in Roquetas de Mar, the restaurant is another part of the club’s offering to consider, along with the two courses and academy.
