Playa Serena Golf, in Almería, will be the first stop of the Alps Tour in Spain to play a new tournament, the Alps de Roquetas de Mar, where players from 17 nationalities will attend.
Following the resounding success of last year's Challenge de España, Roquetas de Mar decided to invest in professional golf and next week welcomes the youngest players, those just beginning their careers with the aim of reaching the pinnacle of world golf. That is the goal of the Alps Tour.
The Alps de Roquetas de Mar will be the eighth event of the 2024 Alps Tour, after visiting Egypt, Tunisia, Italy, Austria and France, and it is a new tournament on the Alps Tour calendar that arrives with the aim of consolidating itself and witnessing the beginning of the great figures of golf of the future.
Once again, Andalusia becomes the center of professional golf, as the 144 players will represent 17 nationalities: Andorra, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, United Kingdom, Estonia, France, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Tunisia, United States, Venezuela and, of course, Spain, who, outside of the competition, will be able to enjoy the wonders of the beaches, gastronomy and tourism of Almería.
Playa Serena Golf is the course where the Alps de Roquetas de Mar will be held; it is a course designed by Peter Allis and Ángel Gallardo; a par 72 of 6262 meters characterized by wide fairways, it is a very flat course that has nine lakes and greens well defended by bunkers that will test the precision of the winner.
The Alps Tour in Roquetas de Mar will be held from May 29 to 31, and will be preceded by a ProAm on Tuesday the 28th, which will kick off the first tournament of the Alps Tour on Spanish soil.
The Alps de Roquetas de Mar tournament is the result of a collaboration between the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation, with the support of the Roquetas de Mar City Council, the Andalusian Regional Government, the Higher Sports Council, the Kyocera Alps Tour, and the organization by JGolf.
