Costa Blanca Golf

The Costa Blanca is a paradise for golf players of every standard.

 

There are over fifteen 18-hole golf courses in the Costa Blanca, many within an half hour drive of the Apartment in Gran Alacant.

 

Some have been designed by the Spanish legend Seve Ballesteros, and regularly play host to Spanish national championships, and some are even ranked regularly amongst the top courses in the world.

 

This page includes a description of a few of those courses to highlight what is on offer

Enjoy Golf in the Costa Blanca sunshine

The Alenda Golf Club is situated at the foot of the Sierra de las Aguilas mountains and its' 18-holes are spread over a gentle terrain with a par of 72. It's a varied course and is suitable for all skill levels, demanding the full use of clubs. The tricky slopes in particular demand a good putting line due to the greens having a variety of flag positions.

The Golf Course was Designed by Roland Favrat and opened in 1999. You can enjoy a quick round here, as all the holes are linked together with short distances between the green and the next tee.

The first nine holes of this golf course are not too long, and the fairways are quite forgiving. The back nine holes need more concentration, as accuracy becomes more important.

The 16th and 18th holes are particularly tricky.

The Alenda Golf Club has full facilities including a driving range (14 bays), chipping green and practice bunker along with the clubhouse services.

The Alicante Golf Club is located within 20 minutes of the Apartment on the outskirts of Alicante City close to the 7km San Juan beach. This is a modern 18-hole golf course designed by Seve Ballesteros and opened in 1998. Seve has included lakes and artificial rivers into the design to increase the difficulty of the Par 72 course. There are six par 3's, six par 4's and six par 5's. The golf course is easy to walk around and the greens on all the holes can be seen clearly.

On the 9th hole there is an artificial lake, designed in the shape of an S which curves around the green.

The Alicante Golf Club has a driving range with 70 bays, a chipping area, practice bunkers and a putting range. Private golf lessons are also available for adults and children in both English and Spanish

The Bonalba Golf Course is a short drive from the Apartment  in Gran Alacant, situated on the outskirts of Alicante City at the back of the golden sands of San Juan beach.

The intricate design challenges the golfer over the Par 72 course with strategically placed lakes, ridges and undulating greens.

This Golf Course has been home to many professional competitions including the Costa Blanca Challenge, the European Challenge Tour and with the First Round of the National Professional Golf Circuit it attracts over 60,000 players each year. 

The first nine holes are technical and challenging where players have to clear three of the five lakes. The remaining 9 holes, also technical, require more strength to the stroke to combat the strong breezes.

Overall the variety to the course ensures plenty of interest and the wide fairways and palm trees provide a very a pleasant environment.

The course has a driving range (covered and uncovered), 3 putting greens, a chipping area and 2 practice bunkers. Clubs can be hired and private golf lessons are provided in English, French and Spanish.

The Don Cayo Golf Club is a bit further out from Gran Alacant and located in the foothills of the Sierra Bernia MountainsIt is close to the pretty coastal resort of Altea with its historic old town clustered around the white-washed church.

The Golf Club was opened in 1974, and the 'very strenuous' but fabulous little course was designed by the architects Pedro Barber and Gregorio Sands.

The 5th, a 580 metre par 5, is a particularly difficult hole, as is the uphill 227 metre par 3 6th hole. Both of these alternate with recovery holes requiring precision to land the ball on the fairway. The 3rd hole is a bit more forgiving and has lovely sea views whilst from the 7th, players can just make out the Marina Baixa and the mountains surrounding it.

The Club has 5 bays, and private golf lessons are available in English, German and Spanish.

The El Plantio Golf Club is the only golf club in the Valencia region that has two golf courses, the first is an excellent 72 Par 18 holes, and the second is a 9-hole course, just 10 minutes away from the Apartment in Gran Alacant. El Plantio is an oasis of lush green fairways with a variety of palm, fig and cork trees, which make it an excellent environment to play in.

 

All levels are catered for, making El Plantio the ideal destination for the whole family. The fairways are broad and comfortable, however the slopes along the 2nd, 12th and 13th holes are the only complications on a course that generally has flat or only slightly undulating fairways. The abundant vegetation can make things difficult for wayward drives leading up to the approach to the greens.

 

There are also two large lakes that complicate matters and increase the sensation of enjoying a fine game in the midst of nature.

The Real Club de Golf Campoamor, is sited on a former country estate and surrounded by the most beautiful unspoilt Mediterranean countryside. The Golf Course was designed to take advantage of the unusual terrain, and its 18 holes meander through two connected valleys.

 

The course is surrounded by low, gently undulating ridges which protect it from the wind and create a special microclimate that allows golfers to play all the year round.

 

The course is situated about 100 metres above sea level, and is bordered to the south by the Tagus-Segura canal.

 

This unique setting has marvellous views over the Mediterranean, and the many features of the course pose difficult rounds for experienced players and more forgiving ones for those new to Golf.

Villamartin is one of the best Golf Courses in Spain, and probably the best on the Costa Blanca; and as such it has hosted the Spanish Open.

The prestigious Golf Club has impressive entrance gardens complete with fountain and statue of an angelic lady golfer.

The course is an undulating 6037 metres par 72 with some great holes and plenty of expensive eye catching mansions on the course perimeter.
