Costa Blanca. A Golf Paradise.

T he average annual temperature of 18

degrees centigrade means that you can play

golf all year round on the Costa Blanca with

the peak season for this sport coinciding with the

mild winters of the region. A true joy for those

wishing to play this sport any day of the year.

Excellent facilities, amongst the best in Europe,

which, generally speaking, form part of resorts and

residential complexes that include hotels, spas and

gymnasiums, offering the perfect combination of

sport and relaxation.

The Costa Blanca is currently one of the leading

international centres of golf, boasting some 21

courses (3 of which are Pitch & Putt courses) all

located in a typical Mediterranean landscape.

And the varied characteristics of each course

meet the requirements of even the most

demanding players.

ALENDA GOLF

Designed by Roland Favrat

A golf course replete with native vegetation which

borders and defines the fairways, and where the easy,

entertaining first 9 holes combine to perfection with

the technically more challenging last nine holes.

It is a relatively rapid course to play, as the holes are

very well linked and the distance from the greens to

the tees is not far.

The first nine holes are medium length and thus favour

precision play over hard hitting. The holes are simple to

play, and the fairways are very wide, making teeing

off a relatively straightforward business.

The last nine holes require considerably greater levels

of concentration, with layouts that require greater

technique rather than covering long distances. You

have to take care with holes 16 and 18 as these often

determine the final result of the scorecard.

ALICANTE GOLF

Designed by Severiano Ballesteros

Alicante Golf was inaugurated in 1998 in a ceremony

officiated over by Severiano Ballesteros. Located in

Playa de San Juan, in the city of Alicante, it is a course

with a large number of water obstacles, making it

tricky to play. It is a flat course where the greens can

be seen from all of the tees. Two rather unusual fea-

tures of the course: the S-shaped lake (representing

the first initial of the designer) which surrounds the

green on hole 9; and the Romanic ruins beside hole 14.

It is a par 72 course which includes six par three holes,

six par four holes and six par five holes – which means

that when playing a round no two consecutive holes

have the same par.

The course’s relative proximity to Alicante means that

there is plenty of accommodation to hand, including

the 5 star Hotel Husa Alicante, located directly on the

golf course facilities.

BONALBA GOLF & SPA

Designed by Ramón Espinosa

Just two kilometres from Playa de San Juan, in the mu-

nicipality of Mutxamel, in a setting that is truly outstan-

ding in terms of its landscape and climate, we find an

impressive, spectacularly designed golf course, where

all of the conditions to allow you to fully enjoy its layout

have been combined together and where you come

up against difficulties that stimulate your play whilst si-

multaneously raising your levels of self-confidence.

The golf course offers a unique variety of different style

holes. Monotony is never a problem, with five breath-

taking lakes having a significant impact on the layout

of ten of the holes, and providing players who are una-

ccustomed to water obstacles with a real challenge.

The distribution of numerous bunkers is another defining

characteristic of the course: 96 bunkers in total which

have been placed strategically along the entire length

of the course.

A tantalising challenge for both amateur and profes-

sional players alike.

REAL CLUB DE GOLF CAMPOAMOR

Designed by Carmelo Gracía

Located between two interconnected valleys and su-

rrounded by gentle slopes that shelter the course from

the wind, it has a very special microclimate. Inaugura-

ted in 1988 by His Royal Highness Juan de Borbón ,

Count of Barcelona, it annually holds the competition

that bears his name.

The course is ideal for both professional and amateur

players alike. The fairways are long and wide, with the

greens and some sloping fairways representing the

greatest difficulty. The existing vegetation was respected

and improved during the course’s construction. The na-

tural environment where the course is located provides it

with unrivalled beauty and special ecological significan-

ce.

The design of the golf course means that difficult, com-

plex rounds can be devised for the most demanding

players with low handicaps or easier rounds for players

who are just beginning or have higher handicaps. It’s a

course that everyone loves and which really helps you

constantly improve your game.

Several of the holes have been redesigned over the last

few years in order to adapt them to the demands

of modern play. 10

CLUB DE GOLF DON CAYO

Designed by Gregorio Sanz, Pedro Barber and

Alexis García-Valdés

As part of the “El Aramo” residential complex project

located on the foothills of the Sierra de Altea, Luis Cam-

pomanes took the decision to create a golf course in

1974, when this sport had few players and even less fo-

llowers in Spain. Situated in the municipality of Altea, it

is close to the Mediterranean sea, offers beautiful views

and is also outstanding because of the light that this

exceptional spot enjoys.

The course is 3,078 metres in length with holes of great

difficulty alternating with recovery holes that require

great precision play to place the ball on the fairway.

Over the last few years extensive works have been ca-

rried out to improve the fairways, slopes, the pine gro-

ves, and the gardening. The bunkers contain marble

sand, making them ideal for striking the ball. The tees

have also been remodelled, thus creating two comple-

tely different nine hole rounds.

CLUB DE GOL EL PLANTIO

Designed by Manuel Ferry Ruiz

El Plantío is a golf course which perfectly harmonises

with the environment. It is a unique site of outstanding

natural beauty, ideally suited for strolling round the

course during a round of golf. The painstaking repopu-

lation of vegetable species gives the course an exotic

atmosphere and offers a different sensation, with each

hole being quite distinct. It was the first course to use

wastewaters for irrigation purposes.

Located 3 kilometres from the city of Alicante, it is the

most urban of the courses, with both 18 hole and 9 hole

courses, and thus being ideally suited for all kinds of

players. It also has a practice course with covered tees

on two levels, the capacity for 120 posts, approach

shots, a putting green and an international golf school

service.

The 18 hole course is par 72, and the 9 hole course con-

sists of par 3 holes. Another 18 hole course is currently

under construction.

It is a golf course with abundant vegetation, outstan-

ding design quality and excellent greens and fairways.

Its courses adapt to the needs and varying levels of all

players, and as such is an ideal destination for all

the family. 14

CLUB DE GOLF IFACH

Designed by Javier Arana

This is a course with some of the best views on the Cos-

ta Blanca - with views of the Penyal d'Ifac and the Me-

diterranean. The course has been designed in such a

way that you need to use all of the different clubs avai-

lable and requires total control when driving and du-

ring approach play.

It is a course that perfectly combines demanding play

with a pleasant stroll. It is a 9 hole course (with 6 par 3

holes and 3 par 4 holes) and although the holes are

short they are technically demanding and tricky due to

the numerous slopes and the narrow fairways. You ha-

ve to really know how to use the different clubs well if

you don’t want to get into trouble. Precision is always

important when playing onto the green, but in this case

it is nothing less than essential. You cannot just rely on

your drive or approach play. Often a seemingly simple

stroke can become a nightmare - turning into multiple

strokes on your scorecard. The distribution of trees and

bunkers make some holes and play in general both ex-

citing and varied.

CLUB DE GOLF JAVEA

Designed by Francisco Moreno

A charming golf course, protected by the Cape of San An-

tonio. It has wide fairways and gives the impression of a

course that is rather easy to play. Nevertheless, you have to

take care with the 34 different bunkers dotted along the len-

gth of the course, and especially those that have been stra-

tegically placed to protect the greens.

Its gentle slopes can make it quite tricky to perform your stro-

kes. Located in an area where splendid pine trees surround

the entire setting, excellent use has been made of the stra-

tegically located Mediterranean vegetation which adds to

the beauty of the course.

The most complicated hole to play is number 6: a par 4, 355

metre long hole with a marked turn to the right. The hole’s

design allows players to enjoy marvellous views. For an ama-

teur player to make par he needs a precise first stroke to gi-

ve him the chance to make the green, or in the worst sce-

nario approach the green, with his second stroke. If he rea-

ches the green on the second stroke, then two putts should

allow the objective to be attained. However, if he doesn’t

reach the green on the second stroke, a good pitch and

putt should give the player something to smile about when

he leaves the most complicated hole on the course.

LA FINCA GOLF

Designed by Pepe Gancedo

La Finca is still a relatively new course, but is has rapidly

matured since it opened its gates in August 2002. Since

then, La Finca has become one of the best courses on

the Costa Blanca and continues to demonstrate its

ever-growing potential.

The course was designed by the famous Spanish course

designer, Pepe Gancedo, and consists of 19 holes (18

+1). The course has ample fairways and spectacular

greens, both in terms of their variedness and their de-

sign characteristics. An excellent example is the 7th ho-

le with its square raised green guarded by an L shaped

bunker. This opening provides an impressive end to the

La Finca "Amen Corner": where holes 5 and 6 are flan-

ked by huge water obstacles that surround the greens

and run along the left-hand side of both holes, with five

carefully constructed waterfalls running into five lakes,

making it an especially tricky part of the course to play,

but with stunning views.

LA MARQUESA GOLF

Designed by Justo Quesada

The course is located in a flat valley between moun-

tains and is protected by a unique microclimate that

permits play all year round. It is now 20 years old and

the surrounding area has undergone important demo-

graphic growth. The buildings, of several different styles,

can be seen by players as they move around the cour-

se.

The course offers a perfect combination of long and

short holes, which gives us time to recover – something

that is always welcome; especially when the scorecard

is not on our side. The course is ideal for players of all

ages. To really enjoy it to the full you should walk round

the course when playing, especially when we have to

make blind strokes.

Such strokes may be a bit worrying at first, but prove to

be a source of great satisfaction when well played. The

best example of this is the 4th hole, a 312 metre long

par 4. When teeing-off you need to use a driver to pla-

ce the ball to the left of the fairway if you want to have

a direct view of the green.

LA SELLA GOLF

Designed by José María Olazábal

La Sella Golf is a par 72 eighteen hole golf course, inaugura-

ted in 1992, with a length of 6289 metres, designed by the

professional golfer José María Olazábal. Under the technical

supervision of José María Olazábal the works to extend it to

27 holes were completed in January 2010.

It has three different 9 hole courses, with three different co-

lours, and each named after the name of the wind that co-

rresponds to their particular orientation, using names taken

from the local language.

Llebeig. The first 9 holes are orientated towards the south.

These holes are located between extensive pine woods and

are characterised by their scenic beauty - with spectacular

views of the Montgó national park. Technically difficult to

play, it is a highly varied course, where players have to make

use of almost all of their clubs.

Gregal. The second 9 hole course takes us to the east. Loca-

ted on flatter ground, this course has water obstacles and a

final series of holes which normally decide the rounds.

Mestral. This is the name of the wind when it blows from the

north, which is cold and feared by farmers, and is the direc-

tion in which theses 9 holes are orientated. The nine holes are

divided into three par 3, 4 and 5 holes, and are located in a

higher area - offering spectacular views of the sea. This cour-

se with wider fairways and large greens has been designed

for you to enjoy your golf in a beautiful natural setting. 28

LAS COLINAS GOLF

Designed by Cabell B. Robinson

The Las Colinas golf course stands out because of its

exclusive, unusual design. It is classified as one of the

best 100 golf courses in continental Europe, according

to the most recent Top 100 ranking published by the

magazine Golf-World, which said that it was a hidden

treasure discovered in Spain. The width of its fairways,

the design of the greens, which are wide and fast, plus

the numerous tees on each hole, provide it with a

great deal of versatility. It is suitable for professional

competitions, whilst also offering all players an enjoya-

ble, accessible course.

Designed by the renowned north-American landscape

artist Cabell B. Robinson, the Las Colinas golf course is a

true reflection of the originality and versatility of his

work – which includes such internationally famed cour-

ses as La Reserva in Sotogrande, Finca Cortesín on the

Costa del Sol, Praia d’El Rey in Portugal and the Royal

Golf d’Evian course in France. In addition to its exclusi-

ve design, the main characteristic of the Las Colinas

golf course is that it adapts to the special orography of

the terrain and blends naturally into the landscape.

Mediterranean pines majestically accompany the pla-

cent views of the Mediterranean, with fresh free-flowing

air and numerous shady spots making this a pleasant

town in the province of Alicante, on the border with

Murcia and next to the Mediterranean Sea and Mar

Menor. An unrivalled site which has excellent links to

the main airports and motorways in the area.

Lo Romero Golf is a really special 18 hole course. Its va-

ried, meticulous design, adapted to the gentle slopes

and Mediterranean vegetation, make it very pleasant

course and an ideal place to play golf.

The 18th hole is really different: with the green like an

emerald island in the midst of a lake.

It seems like a simple stroke: you only have to get over

the lake. But fear of over hitting or falling short can of-

ten make you tremble, the heart beat faster, raise your

adrenaline and make all of your senses come alive. It’s

a stimulating challenge that deserves to be enjoyed to

the full.

SIERRA CORTINA GOLF

Designed by Patricio Cantalapiedra

Located in Finestrat, just a few kilometres from Beni-

dorm, it offers marvellous, panoramic views of the sea

and the city.

An 18 hole Pitch & Putt course, great for beginners just

beginning their golf adventure and for more experien-

ced players, who will enjoy overcoming different obs-

tacles, such as two artificial lakes, and the course’s

magnificent greens. The shortest fairway is just 55 me-

tres long and the longest fairway is 100 metres in length.

Beginners can start on the course after just a few clas-

ses, without the need to obtain an official handicap.

On the other hand, experienced golfers can enjoy the

different obstacles – including two lakes, and the mag-

nificent greens which are a joy when practicing one’s

approach play.

The shorter distances involved are great for senior pla-

yers and children, as the 18 holes can be played in just

over two hours without great physical effort.

VILLAITANA WELLNESS GOLF

Designed by Nicklaus Design

This has two different courses. The Levante course is a

6,612 metre long, American style course, with wide fair-

ways and exquisitely moulded greens, allowing you to

enjoy marvellous views of the Mediterranean and the

Finestrat mountain range. Given that no urban tourist

developments are located nearby, you can enjoy a

totally natural environment with continuous views of the

sea and mountains, all in the spectacular setting of the

Levantine Mediterranean mountain range.

The Poniente course is 3858 metres long and forms part

of the descent of a valley of Mediterranean pines. The

design of the course allows players of all kinds to enjoy

a great golfing experience, regardless of their handi-

cap.

This course is shorter, but not any less exciting. It requires

higher levels of skill with the use of lower irons and is

very demanding for low-handicap players, although all

of the holes offer alternatives for medium and high

handicap players.

Villaitana Wellness Golf & Business Sun Resort has two 5

and 4 star hotels providing ideal accommodation for

those who are passionate about their golf.

VILLAMARTIN GOLF

Designed by Paul Puttman

Since 1972 Villamartin has been a point of reference for

golf courses in the Valencia region.

With vegetation that is more than 40 years old and am-

ple greens that in 1997 played host to a European Tour

tournament. Severiano Ballesteros, José María Olaza-

bal, Ian Woosnam, Sam Torrance and many other figu-

res from international golf have played and honoured

this course with their presence. The Golf Villamartin

course was designed by John Puttman, who had al-

ready worked on the La Manga Club at the end of the

Sixties.

The Villamartin greens are internationally famed, with

infamous holes, such as the 17th - a par three where

you have to cross a water bed densely populated with

trees and foliage in order to reach the huge, ample

green on two levels. Golf Villamartin has its own exten-

sive community of players from all over Europe who ha-

ve chosen this golf course as a place to live, with golf

and this course forming an integral part of their lifestyle.

Villamartin is without doubt one of the best courses in

the region of Valencia, whilst also being one of the ol-

dest courses in the area.

VISTABELLA GOLF

Designed by Paul Puttman

Manuel Piñero (a former world champion professional

golfer) managed to design a really interesting course,

aimed at both the most demanding professional pla-

yers and those just embarking upon their golfing ad-

venture.

The first 11 holes at Vistabella Golf allow a par 73 eigh-

teen hole course to be configured, which is nearly 6000

metres long. It was designed in accordance with the

guidelines of modern courses, with 4 ample tees for

each hole, wide fairways and raised bunkers.

One novel feature are the 11 and 22 hole green fees,

allowing beginners to play the complete course 2 ti-

mes, as an alternative to the traditional 9 or 18 holes.

On the holes that are repeated different tees have

been located to make the course less challenging or

different each time round.

Its integration into the landscape and the responsible

use of its resources, make Vistabella Golf something

more than just a mere golf course - with 34 hectares of

unique landscape covered with native species of Me-

diterranean trees and shrubs.
