WHAT WILL IT COST TO RENT A VILLA
FOR HACIENDA DEL ALAMO FESTIVAL?

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Tournament Controller, Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival

The most common question I am asked by lady golfers who are interested in signing up for the Festival in February is: How much will it cost me?
It's a question I cannot answer fully because, to begin with, it depends on which airline and from which airport you are flying to and from Murcia Airport in Spain.
I can help would-be competitors find out how much the accommodation will cost.
It stands to reason that the more people who are sharing a villa, the cheaper it

works out per head.

I have copied the following over from the http://www.clubmurcia.com/ website:

SOME FESTIVAL POINTERS
The Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival lasts from February 10 to 23. There are six competitions open to Lady Professionals and Lady/girl amateurs with a maximum handicap of 20 (if one or two members of a group would be ruled out by having a handicap of more than 20, we would give them special dispensation).
There will be separate prize lists for the professionals and the amateurs so there is no possibility that the professionals will win all the prizes.
Competitors will get the best value if they go for two weeks but they can go for either the first or the second week or they can even straddle both weeks if they can get cheaper flights that way, i.e. fly out to Murcia on the first Wednesday (February 13) and fly home on the second Wednesday (February 20).
You do not have to play in every competition.

There is no deadline for entries although obviously it helps with our administration and forward planning the sooner you tell us you are going/coming.
