Alicante Golf
Alicante Golf
Alicante Golf is located right along the shores of the
Mediterranean and San Juan beach, only 5 minutes from Alicante
City Centre. The wide tree lined fairways, all maintained with the
greatest respect for environmental protection and use of water,
are a breath of fresh air with residential area of La Condomina.
Designed by Seve Ballesteros, it has a unique configuration of six
Par3’s, six Par 4’s and six Par 5’s. On each nine, there are no two
consecutive holes with the same par and no blind shots, making
play more interesting. There are five large lakes, which come into
play on twelve of the eighteen holes. An interesting feature of
Alicante Golf is the approach shot to the 14th hole, where you
have to play over the runs of “Villa Ferrer”, a Roman country house
from 1 BC that was discovered during course construction.
Alenda Golf
Opened in 1997, Alenda Golf plays at 6,257 off the white tees.
The first nine holes are medium length, more suited to accurate
players than big hitters. The clever design of the course by
Golden Fairways requires the use of every club in the bag. The
holes are well linked together and the walks between green and
tee are short – which isn’t common place in a lot of Spanish
courses. The course is generally flat without too many slopes until
you reach the greens, which provide a difficult and special character.
Alenda Golf is considered a fun course for all levels of golfers.

Club De Golf Don Cayo
The Don Cayo Golf Club was founded in 1974 by Don Luis
Campomanes Asumendi as part of the “El Aramo” residential
development project, situated at the foothills of the Sierra Bernia
mountain range. It is located in the municipal limits of Altea,
a Mediterranean village famous for the beauty of its historic
quarter and the distinctive natural light. The course measures
3,078 metres from the white tees. Feature holes would be the
3rd with its stunning views of the Sea and the 7th from where
you can make out the mountains surrounding the Marina Baixa.
In May 2006, the Club opened another 18 tee boxes, creating an
extraordinary new design for the back nine, having two different
rounds of 9 holes.
Campo De Golf Villamatín
At 6,132 metres of the white tees, Villamartin is not excessively
long but it has been adapted to the natural surroundings which
can provide difficulties for wayward shots. Located in a river
bed, the layout is quite varied without too many slopes. It has
an abundance of Mediterranean vegetation and a thick grove,
although these should rarely influence your game. The greens are
quite large and once you avoid several obstacles like the natural
cliffs and water hazards, Villamartin provides golfers with a good
chance to beat their handicap.
