Any outstanding golf property needs an outstanding world class golf course design and at Novo Carthago Beach and Golf Resort their are 2 x18 (36) hole golf courses to compliment the properties currently being built. These courses in Murcia, Costa Calida, Southern Spain are designed by one of the worlds foremost golf course architect's Robert Trent Jones Jnr and his exceptional team of experts backed by over 100 years of experience and by the design of more than 200 courses in 35 countries across the world's 5 continents.

The 2 courses will be built over 800,000m2 of ground, and will bring a new era to life style resort' golf property in Spain. Designed under a unique project philosophy, conceived to bring out the excellent characteristics of the lands that border the sea and integrating them into a world class golf property project in Spain. The land was studied to determine the most appropriate use of the spectacular views over the properties and Mar Menor, the natural model of the land, orientation of the location, climate and geological conditions as well as other elements that shape the area's natural topography, working on the unique characteristics and habitat of Murcia and the Mar Menor, so as to create the best possible golf design in this unique location. Thus, the two Novo Carthago courses will be characterised by harmony with the scenery that surrounds them. The design philosophy, and strategy seeks to create a versatile set of course characteristic's at Novo Carthago Beach & Golf Resort , allowing the average player to have a good time while remaining challenging for the best professional players. To achieve this versatility, Robert Trent Jones Jnr and his team have designed multiple tees for each hole, placed in strategic positions to create different playing lines.This is a fundamental part of Robert Trent Jones' philosophy for Novo Carthago.

The developers of Novo Carthago Resort and Robert Trent Jones Jnr agree that environmental sensitivity and management must be essential principles of the Novo Carthago project. As nowadays, one of the greatest challenges when building a golf properties and courses is the water usage, especially in countries will little rain fall like Spain. Thus special attention has been paid to incorporating techniques that encourage water savings. Both courses are also characterised by minimised areas of greens to be maintained, without a consequent reduction in quality standards that guarantee the enjoyment of these first class golf courses. The varieties and types of lawns used and their sophisticated irrigation systems will also help to maximise water savings.

The developers of Novo Carthago Resort have designed a spectacular and unique project, and aims to give it an image that is appropriate for such a multi-service resort. The courses are going to have different concepts; the “Executive Course will have exceptional quality lawns within a notably rolling countryside and a naturalised environment, with areas of indigenous plants, whereas, the Championship Course will retain the land's original features and incorporate sand areas into the game. The course designer's aim is to achieve a consistent and overall image for this great project, an image that shows exciting, fun and unique holes that any golfer can enjoy, an image that, without doubt, sets Novo Carthago Beach and Golf Resort, Murcia Southern Spain apart from the rest.
