La Hacienda Links Golf Resort is chasing a notable hat-trick after being shortlisted for three of the leading accolades at the 2024 World Golf Awards.
The coveted honour of the ‘World’s Best Halfway House’ heads the list of awards that the 36-hole Spanish resort has been nominated for at this year’s awards, which will take place in Madeira from November 21-22.
In addition, La Hacienda’s acclaimed Links course is in contention to be named as ‘Spain’s Best Golf Course’ for the second year in a row while the resort is also among the nominees in the prestigious category of ‘Europe’s Best Golf Venue’. Voting for the 2024 World Golf Awards is open until October 6 and for more details, go to Nominees 2024 World Golf Awards.
Offering uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the distant coast of north Africa, the resort’s new halfway house, Calma, has earned glowing reviews since opening last August, and offers players the opportunity to enjoy a spectacular seaside location while sampling a mouthwatering menu based on local Andalusian produce.
Situated by the tenth hole of the Links course, Calma has been constructed using the best bioclimatic practices and sustainable materials with an almost zero carbon footprint. It offers a choice of freshly made tapas, snacks and desserts for golfers to enjoy, with members and visitors all invited to stop for 15 minutes before continuing their rounds.
Featuring a small restaurant and large terrace area, the facility can cater for events of up to 200 people and is managed by Sal Verde – La Hacienda’s recently opened beach bar and restaurant – and is one of a number of new investments to be unveiled by the resort as part of its ongoing transformation into one of Europe’s leading modern 36-hole golf venues.
Javier Jimenez-Casquet, director general at La Hacienda Links Golf Resort, said: “With its idyllic setting and unbeatable views of the Links course, the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Africa, Calma is a special place. It’s something that we are all very proud of, and to be shortlisted for this prestigious accolade is a great honour”.
“When we began the renovation of the Links course, we were clear that this location was perfect for an unparalleled halfway house, and the incredible feedback that we have received from everyone that visits has made it clear that we made the right decision”.
“We enjoyed a fantastic night at the World Golf Awards last year when the Links course was named as the best in Spain. It would be amazing if we could win another of the top honours and would encourage as many people as possible to vote to help us achieve our dream”.
