A forest fire that has already claimed 1,000 hectares has affected the Sierra del Molino, Sierra La Sierra Albalda and the Palera. The smoke cloud can be seen from Condado De Alhama. Guardia Civil had to evacuate houses in the area of Almadenes Power Station, and close a mian road to the town of Cieza .

Several Helicopters and cargo planes from Ministry of Environment, Albacete, Andalusia, Granada and Jaen are all working on this forest fire that has claimed some valuable pine forests.

Areas of caution would be North of Murcia between Cieza and Calaspara. It should not affect travelers coming to the resort from either airport.

Welcome golfers.

Condado de Alhama Restaurant Closes September 6

Terry — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:14:00 +0000

The Condado de Alhama Golf Resort located outside of Alhama de Murcia has posted on it’s window that Polaris World has decided to close the restaurant on September 6. The restaurant located inside the Al Kasar, stayed busy all season long, even turning away business because they were so busy. The decision to close was not stated on the flyer taped to the window, nor when it would reopen. With a majority of owners and holiday rentals coming to this Golf Resort from through out Europe, it leaves them with no other option for dining out on site. With tens of thousands to spend each month they have to go off site to spend it. Well, the good news is that other restaurants will be more than happy to take up the business left by the closing of this fine restaurant.

Hawaiian Night at Al Kasar….FULLY BOOKED!

The Hawaiian Night at Al Kasar got off to a shaky start, Polaris World had decided that they would reserve all the tables outside, not to first comers..as would seem smart, but to anyone that knew they could reserve one. Of course this was all done in a Polaris Hush Hush manner.

As normal, party seekers flocked to Al Kasar at 9.30PM to locate a seat only to find them all reserved…that didn’t go down well and after a short stint with the security it was decided unanimously that they guests seated would remain seated and the extra tables would come from… the restaurant.

Once everyone was seated.. the party began and was another great success with music and entertainment going on into the night. Grass skirts, Drinks, fancy dance moves and laughter flowed freely, well into the early hours of the morning.

It's ALL good.

Polaris World did a good job of upsetting another very important group yesterday as well, the golf association that played yesterday went for their usual meeting at Al Kasar for the days presentations to find, no drinks and no cushions. It seems the bar staff were way too busy wrapping trees to serve drinks.

What can you do, when in Spain do as they do in Spain.. sleep and smile.

The stage is set..

The trees are wrapped, the bar is ready….grass skirts to come later.

Come on down to the Clover for some summer fun, can’t make it…check back tomorrow for the pictures of what you missed.

Polaris World joins Clover and Limonero Restaurant

Terry — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:33:08 +0000

The Al Kasar located on Polaris World’s Condado de Alhama Golf Resort, which contains the Clover and Limonero has been joined by a new passage way. A new door is being fitted to join forces.

Whether Polaris World installed this entrance because of the winter months that are coming, which will make the travel between both establishments much easier on the public. We are glad that this has been done, as it may possibly give food service to the bar patrons as well.

Expanding service

This summer has been very busy so any improvements are welcomed. No sign of a coffee shop yet, but maybe next summer they can open one in one of the entrances to the supermarket for the early birds. They do have a bakery and fresh fruit to serve up. Just a thought. The restaurant does open at 11 and serves coffee and tapas.

Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course on Condado de Alhama

Terry — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:28:52 +0000

After last weeks severe rain storm which closed the course for a few days, the Jack Nicklaus Signature designed Golf Course is being played on. OlaGolf has had workers out clearing the over flow of soil and will soon be onto the bunkers. Over on Hole 2 we have some photo’s of the damage the runoff did to the adjoining road.

Water from storm chewed a rut along road by Hole 2

With the force of water that this storm created the Golf Course survived rather well.

Hole 2

The bunkers did have damage as the water ran into them in such a short period of time it did not have enough time to drain away. So the race is on to reshape these bunkers as soon as possible.

New Office Open in Al Kasar

Jill — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:28:45 +0000

A new office has opened at Al Kasar offering legal advise and insurance.. the gentleman that was working looked a little like he was lost in a fish bowl with us peering in at him but I am sure as time passes on we will find having an attorney or solicitor on site useful.

I am sure he will appreciate you stopping by to say hola, the new office is located next to the Golf Pro shop and changing rooms.

The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Condado De Alhama, re-opened today to players. The course was closed due to strong storms during this week causing damage and washout. Olagolf are happy enough with the course to open it today at 13.00hrs. A relief to golfer on the resort. The bunkers still require work but this will continue with the course open.

A further development, Jardin 2 pool that was also closed due to storm damage has now been cleaned and is open.

The roads on the resort are now clean for the most part, a credit to the administration, Olagolf and the contractors that keep this resort in great condition.
