The six-course "Nicklaus Golf Trail" in the Spanish Region of Murcia was originally part of an ambitious golf-property development called Polaris World. With changes in ownership the courses became known as the IRM Golf Experience, then IRM Nike Golf, and now GNK Golf. The "trail" offers six championship layouts with affordable villas, houses and holiday apartments bordering the golf.
The six resorts/courses (with their original Nicklaus Trail straplines) are: Mar Menor (the original), La Torre (the challenge), Saurines (the desert), Riquelme (the championship), El Valle (the tournament) and Alhama (the signature). The courses are all located within a 25-mile radius of each other, south of the city of Murcia and easily reachable from the airport at San Javier.
