Costa Calida charity golf day to raise funds for local donkey rescue

Golfers and animal lovers on the Costa Calida are being invited to tee off for a good cause in late October, with a special charity golf day raising funds for Andrea’s Animal Rescue, an animal shelter based in the Mazarron area. The Donkey Charity Golf Day will take place on Sunday, October 25, at Altaona Golf & Country Village, starting at 12:00pm.

Teeing off for charity

The event will feature an 18-hole Texas Scramble golf tournament, offering golf enthusiasts and beginners alike the chance to enjoy a day on the course while helping support animals in need. The player fee for this charity tournament is €65, which includes all 18 holes, a shared buggy and a donation to the cause. According to the event organisers, €10 from every player fee will go directly to the shelter.

Those who would prefer not to play can also take part as walkers. The walker option costs €50 and allows supporters to walk the course, enjoy the sporting community atmosphere and contribute to the fundraiser.

Supporting Andrea’s Animal Rescue, a haven for equines on the Costa Calida

Andrea’s Animal Rescue, founded in 2008, was originally established to care for mistreated and distressed donkeys. Now, the organisation rescues and cares for a large herd, including donkeys and ponies, and largely relies on donations to cover essential costs including food, veterinary treatment, and maintenance.

Altaona Golf is an 18-hole course designed by Stirling & Martin Golf Course Architects, with facilities including buggy hire, a driving range, putting green and clubhouse.
