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.

Polaris World has filed in Alhama de Murcia for consideration of  a Coffee Shop on the Condado de Alhama Golf Resort, located south of the city of Murcia. The location of the shop was not disclosed other than being positioned on the Golf Resort, (R2.2 and R12). A 10 day request for opinions has been filed in Office of Alhama. David Ré Soriano, El Secretario has signed the document and may be able to shed more light on this subject.

More services considered at the Golf Resort is a welcome bit of news for owners who depend on these type of  services for full exposure and enjoyment of their Holiday and Vacation Apartments.

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 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.

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.

Captains Day 2010 See More pictures of this event in our photo gallery by CLICKING HERE

The Captains Day presentation took place last night in Naranjos 4, the evening was a sell out and the pig roast was a big success. Barry Barker and Graham White organized the event and work hard on the golf association every week to make it the success it is today, a lot of prizes were handed to the golfers but Graham and Barry also took the time to thank Cathy Emmitt who works very hard also every week on the golfers certificates and helping to organize events like these. The results from the mini tournament are below with the Captains Day Trophy going to  Dean Valentine pictured below.

Congratulations to all the golfers that took part in this event. A community needs great people willing to work hard to bring it together and we truly have those people on this resort.

The Flamenco performance last night, brought in the crowds at Polaris Worlds Clover Bar. The Parking lot was over 1/2 full and the families were still walking from the neighboring gardens to come watch and enjoy the evening atmosphere. The weekends have proven busy at the Clover all summer long. Great entertainment and a  meeting place to catch up with and make new friends. Polaris Worlds Clover bar opens at 3 in the afternoon and closes.. well some say at 6 in the morning, so it is keeping the crowds entertained thats for sure.

With several weeks left in the summer, there is still time to jet over and get into the holiday spirit, before the Golfing season starts.

Damage to a fire hydrant at the resort leaves Naranjos without water for 24 hours. The fire hydrant was found running water having been hit, so around 10AM a Polaris World representative turned up, but instead of repairing the problem simply turned off the water to half the resort, leaving all the guests without the ability to prepare food, wash hands, shower or flush commodes, not to mention the tragedy that could have occurred should there have been a fire.

Suggestion, steer your car around the fire hydrants and reduce your speed.

The repair was made this morning by 8.30AM to the fire hydrant and water restored much to the relief of everyone running buckets of water from the swimming pools.

Over on the Jardin side of the Polaris World built Condado de Alhama  Golf Resort, the gardeners are busy this morning trimming up the tree lined inner ring road.With temperature rising it is not slowing down what needs to be done. 

As you can see from the picture below, these trees will give great comfort and shelter on the foot paths around the inner ring road not to mention for those fortunate enough to have a lower unit. These trees flower in  yellow or blue, so the contrast off the white of the buildings is very pleasing to the eye.

Some of the Winners of Alhama Golf Residents Tournament

Today Olagolf hosted it’s first residents tournament at Condado De Alhama, 12 players took part in the event playing for Tee time on the fantastic Jack Nicklaus Signature designed course.

1st Place went to Cesar Garcia Calvo with 37

2nd Place went to James Hershaw with 36

3rd Place went to Patric Meulders with 36

4th place went to Jan Henrick Bobel with 34

Overall a successful mini tournament, it was nice to have a tournament hosted, something that was appreciated by the owners, a chance to play and compete. I think had the prizes been something other than Tee time they would have attracted a lot more of the association players. Barry Barker explained that he and other residents did not take part as he and many of the other owners are members of Alhama Golf and therefor pay a yearly subscription to play, so Tee time to him was not an attractive prize, especially when they would have had to pay to play today.

Maybe, Olagolf could take that into consideration and offer a Ferrari next time..Please.
