Championship Golf Course
Roda Golf features an outstanding 18-hole championship golf course designed by renowned British golf architect Dave Thomas, one of Europe's most respected course designers. This par-72 course winds through the resort's landscape, offering 6,200 meters of challenging and scenic play across immaculately maintained fairways and greens.
The Dave Thomas design showcases strategic architecture with thoughtfully placed bunkers, water hazards on multiple holes, undulating greens that test putting skills, and mature landscaping that creates both visual beauty and engaging challenge. The course layout ensures enjoyable play for recreational golfers while providing sufficient difficulty to test accomplished players and host competitive tournaments.
The golf course has earned recognition for its excellent playing conditions and design quality, attracting golfers from across Europe throughout the year. The Costa Calida climate ensures year-round playability, with over 320 days of sunshine creating ideal conditions for golf regardless of season.
Comprehensive golf facilities include a modern driving range with covered and open-air practice bays, dedicated practice bunkers and short game areas for skill development, professional coaching and instruction services from qualified PGA professionals, equipment rental featuring premium brands, a well-stocked pro shop offering leading golf apparel and equipment, and a full tournament calendar hosting competitive and social events throughout the year.
Resort Amenities
Roda Golf & Beach Resort offers far more than exceptional golf, providing a complete lifestyle destination with comprehensive facilities that cater to all ages and interests.
The resort features multiple swimming pool complexes throughout the development, including dedicated adult pools, family pools with shallow areas for children, and beautifully landscaped pool areas perfect for relaxation. The pools are maintained to the highest standards and provide focal points for social interaction within the community.
Sports and fitness facilities extend beyond golf to include professional tennis and padel courts with coaching available, a fully equipped modern gymnasium with cardiovascular and strength training equipment, dedicated children's play areas throughout the resort, and walking and cycling routes through the resort's landscaped areas.

Beach and Mar Menor Access
One of Roda Golf's most distinctive advantages is its proximity to the beaches of San Javier and the Mar Menor lagoon. The resort is just minutes from pristine beaches, providing residents with immediate access to swimming, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, kitesurfing, and other water sports in the calm, warm waters of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon.
The Mar Menor's unique characteristics—shallow depth, high salinity, and warm temperatures—create ideal conditions for water activities and are renowned for therapeutic properties. The beaches of San Javier and nearby Santiago de la Ribera offer a perfect complement to the resort lifestyle, with beachfront promenades, seaside restaurants, beach clubs, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.
The Mediterranean Sea beaches are also easily accessible, providing additional variety for beach lovers. This combination of championship golf and immediate beach access creates a lifestyle proposition that few Spanish golf resorts can match, appealing to both golf enthusiasts and beach lovers within the same family.
