Just put deposit on home, we are a British couple middle aged, second home.  Wondering about experiences of expats in this area and golfing community?  lifestyle, access to amenities, friendliness and options to join others in community whatever nationality?

Thanks, we are moving to the town.  Excited to be around locals as well as ex pats.  We love golf so happy to get involved.  Sounds like Sierra Golf is good, what are green fees?

I think Sierra Golf is still a 9-hole, although it is/was planned to build an extra 9 holes.

There are plenty of good golf courses within 20-30 mins of Balsicas - El Valle (in my opinion) is the best, Roda, Mar Menor, La Torre. Further away, even more, including La Manga Real.

Golf in Spain is more expensive than the UK and you should expect green fees of €60-80 at most decent courses, plus another €25-45 for a buggy. However, broker websites such as www.GolfinSpain.com  and www.leadingcourses.com usually have discounted deals.

Hope this helps!

Hello there, when are you due to be visiting your home there?  I will be in Balsicas end of March again to finalise things.  When last there in December met some amazing locals, love Maria and her daughters place on the main road, and met another expat couple from Scotland.  Really looking forward to spending a lot of time every year in my new home.  Happy for you to private message me to have a cuppa and go over our initial experiences of our new homes?
