The six-course "Nicklaus Golf Trail" in the Spanish Region of Murcia was originally part of an ambitious golf-property development called Polaris World. With changes in ownership the courses became known as the IRM Golf Experience, then IRM Nike Golf, and now GNK Golf. The "trail" offers six championship layouts with affordable villas, houses and holiday apartments bordering the golf.
The six resorts/courses (with their original Nicklaus Trail straplines) are: Mar Menor (the original), La Torre (the challenge), Saurines (the desert), Riquelme (the championship), El Valle (the tournament) and Alhama (the signature). The courses are all located within a 25-mile radius of each other, south of the city of Murcia and easily reachable from the airport at San Javier.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
