The 540 yard opening par 5 sets the tone at Serena Golf, with a lake running the length of the right side and flower shaped bunkers waiting on the left. It is a tee shot that rewards a clear plan rather than a driver hit without thought, and water remains part of the round on 16 of the 18 holes. Manuel Piñero’s par 72 layout measures 6,745 yards from the back tees, combining ten par 4s, four par 3s and four par 5s. Around 70 bunkers add another layer of decision making, while gently rolling fairways lined by palms and olive trees give the course a distinctly Mediterranean feel. The routing also passes around the sixth century Torre del Rame watchtower, a lasting feature of the landscape that comes into view at several points during the round.
There is room to prepare properly before play, with a driving range and three practice greens, while buggy, trolley and modern club hire are available from the pro shop. After 18 holes, the modern clubhouse has lockers, showers and an upper terrace looking across the course towards the Torre del Rame. The restaurant and bar covers the useful essentials from breakfast through to dinner, with paella and tapas alongside international dishes. It is an easy place to settle with a drink after a round, particularly when the light begins to soften over the fairways and water.
The course sits on Spain’s south east coast, close to the beaches of the Mar Menor and only three minutes from Los Alcázares. This former fishing town provides a straightforward base for time away from the course, with the shoreline close enough for an afternoon walk or a relaxed meal between rounds. Free parking and an electric vehicle charging point at the clubhouse make getting about simple for those using a hire car.
