Spain/Costa Blanca

La Manga South Course - 6997 yards par 72
Located in the centre of the valley, with wide fairways surrounded by palms. There are few hidden dangers and can be enjoyed by all standards of golfer. Off the backs this is still a high class championship course originally designed by Robert D. Putman and remodelled by Arnold Palmer in 1992. There are plenty of strategically placed water hazards and bunkers that will add some real challenge to your round.


La Manga North Course - 6358 yards par 71

More undulating than the South course yet no less demanding. A premium on accuracy rather than length an added challenge is the barrancas that snake their way through the course. These natural storm gullies feature on all three courses and add that extra unusual hazard. Water comes into play prominently, especially on the back nine.

La Manga West Course - 6568 yards par 73
Situated amongst pine woodlands this course has frequent changes in elevation which add to the challenge. The back nine is more open then the front yet both offer a good challenge. Water comes into play similar to the South and North courses and also some well placed bunkers. A good course that offers everything for an enjoyable round.

Alicante Golf - 6897 yards par 72
A Seve Ballesteros design located near to the beach very close to Alicante City. Opened in 1997 it has matured well to provide a good test of golf for all levels of golfer. 12 holes have water in play with 10 different lakes on the course and it is quite unique with 6 par 5's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 3's. A well kept course that is very popular.

 

Bonalba - 7004 yards par 72
Located in the foothills of the Sierre de Bonalba overlooking the Mediterranean it offers some great scenery. A fairly undulating course opened in 1995 it has matured well and is now one of the most popular courses in the area. The large greens are well protect by bunkers and the clubhouse offers a nice atmosphere in which to relax.

La Sella - 6679 yards par 72
Winding through a valley of orange and almond groves this Olazabal design uses the surrounding terrain very well. The fairways are quite narrow in places and extremely well maintained. As are the greens that have some heavy pot bunkering to protect them. There is also some water thrown in to add to the challenge.

El Saler - 6990 yards par 72
Ranked in the world's top 50. It has hosted the Spanish Open and is a very challenging course. Twelve holes meander through pine groves whilst the last six are links style with punishing rough. Accuracy is needed throughout the round on this superb design. A superb golf course.

Oliva Nova - 6754 yards par 72
A Seve Ballesteros design on flat land next to the sea. Water hazards are very prominent in the design as are the well protected greens with pot bunkers. It is a well maintained course that like a links course has the natural defense of the wind. A nice mixture of dog-legs and par threes. Well worth playing.

 

El Bosque - 6904 yards par 72
A Robert Trent Jones creation ranked in the top 5 in Spain. Previous host to the Mediterranean Open, this championship course has wide undulating fairways set amongst pine trees. The greens have a great reputation for being in good condition and quick. Together with over 100 bunkers the test can be formidable. A fantastic course.

Las Ramblas - 6347 yards par 72
This course is a superb experience. Set between two ravines amongst rocky terrain a good golfing brain is required to score well. Not overly long, this is made up in the need for accuracy and strategy. Elevated tees, narrow fairways and fast greens and a couple of frightening par 3's make this one of the best courses on the Costa Blanca.

Vilamartin - 6745 yards par 72
The oldest course in the region, but also one of the best. A great variety of holes meaning that every club in the bag is used. It is on rugged terrain with undulating fairways and well positioned bunkers. Hosted the Mediterranean Open in 1994 and has what is considered the hardest par three in Spain.

Campoamor - 6413 yards par 72
Situated in two valleys with superb views it features fast tricky greens. They are also well protected with subtle bunkering to catch people unawares. The front nine is considered the easier with wide lush fairways whilst the back nine requires more accuracy off the tee. A thoroughly enjoyable course that offers a superb test.

Altoreal - 6863 yards par 72
Just North of Murcia this is a classic Dave Thomas design situated in the hills. Strategically placed water hazards provide some good protection and interesting design, particularly the 9th and 18th holes. A very popular course that has a good reputation for enjoyment and condition. Well worth playing.
