A Buddies’ Golf Getaway to Costa Blanca and Murcia
Costa Blanca and Murcia By The Golf Planet Holidays Team · Golf-travel specialists since 1981 · Published 1 June 2026 At a glance Where should a group of mates go for a golf trip in Spain? Costa Blanca and neighbouring Murcia are ideal for a buddies’ golf getaway of 4 to 8 players: a tight […]
Every group has its rituals. The WhatsApp thread that never sleeps, the running score that somehow always favours the loudest member, and the one weekend a year when the lot of you actually pull it off. A buddies’ golf getaway to Costa Blanca and Murcia is built for exactly that: a handful of brilliant courses within a short drive of each other, warm sun on your back, cold drinks at the turn, and a base that does not blink when 6 of you roll in with golf bags and big plans. From £259 per person, it is the easiest yes the group chat will ever give.
This is the corner of Spain that golfing mates keep coming back to, and for good reason. The golf is varied enough to keep things competitive, the resorts are made for groups rather than couples on tiptoe, and the logistics are handled so the only decisions you have to make are tee times and who is buying the first round. We sort the rest.
Five courses, one trip, endless bragging rights
The beauty of Costa Blanca and Murcia is the spread of golf packed into a small area, so you can play somewhere different every day without long bus rides eating into your banter. La Finca Golf near Alicante is the headline act for a lot of groups, a polished, generous layout that lets the big hitters open their shoulders while still punishing the cocky. La Torre Golf rewards a bit of thought off the tee, and El Valle Golf winds through the Murcian hills with the kind of risk-and-reward holes that decide a four-day match on the final green.
Hacienda Riquelme brings the classic resort-golf feel, fair but with enough water and bunkering to keep the side bets interesting, while Altorreal Golf in Murcia is the tighter, more cunning test that separates the genuine talent from the lads who just shout the loudest. Mix and match across the trip and you have got a proper order-of-merit on your hands by the time the flights home come around.
Bases built for a group, not a couple
Where you stay makes or breaks the mates’ trip, and these are venues that get groups. Villaitana Resort Golf near Benidorm puts you within striking distance of the courses and the nightlife in equal measure, so the evening can be a quiet meal and an early night or, well, Benidorm, depending on the mood of the room. For a Murcia-based trip, the Occidental 7 Coronas and the Tryp Rincon de Pepe sit you right in the thick of the city, with bars, restaurants and that easy Spanish buzz on the doorstep when the golf is done for the day.
Whichever base suits your group, we shape the package around your numbers, your dates and how many rounds you actually want to play, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all itinerary.

Zero hassle, fully protected, and we can host it for you
The whole point of the annual trip is that it should feel effortless, so we build it around the group and take the admin off your hands: flights, transfers, tee times and accommodation arranged together, with one organiser to deal with instead of ten. As a UK tailor-made golf travel specialist since 1981, your holiday is ATOL Protected and your money is held in trust with PTS until you have travelled, so the funds are safe from the deposit right through to the journey home, all priced clearly in pounds.
Prefer to hand over even more of the running? We can arrange a hosted, escorted group tour, where everything from tee times to transfers is managed on the ground, leaving the organiser free to actually enjoy the trip instead of herding cats. Tell us your group size and rough dates and we will come back with a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can come on a buddies' golf trip?
These breaks are perfectly suited to a group of 4 to 8 mates, which is the sweet spot for two or four-balls and a proper order-of-merit. We can arrange larger groups too, so just tell us your final numbers and we will build the package to fit.
Which courses can we play on a Costa Blanca and Murcia trip?
Popular choices include La Finca Golf near Alicante, La Torre Golf, El Valle Golf, Hacienda Riquelme and Altorreal Golf in Murcia. We mix and match the rota around your group’s appetite for golf and your chosen base, so no two trips need play the same.
Do you include flights, and is there good value for US travellers?
We arrange the whole trip ground-up around your group, and flights can be added as an ATOL-protected option. For US-based golfers travelling to Spain, the value compared with home green fees and resort stays is strong, and we build everything into one clear quote so there are no surprises.
Is my money safe when I book?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with PTS until you have travelled, so your group’s payment is safeguarded from booking right through to your return.
