Villamartín
Alicante » Jávea
A course with lots of charm. Set under the shelter of the Cape
of San Antonio. The fairways are broad and trick players in to
thinking that they are on a course that’s easy to play. But, there
are 34 bunkers along the way, many of which are deliberately
set to protect the greens. There are also gentle slopes that can
be deceptive when the ball falls. Good use has been made of
the Mediterranean vegetation, which is strategically located
around the course to give things more interest. The design does
allow players to gain splendid picturesque vistas. There is a plan
to expand this course and give it an 18 hole layout. This should
actually happen soon, as it has been on the books for quite some
time now.
Alicante » El Plantio
Opened in 1993, this Manuel Ferry Ruiz deigned course has an
18 hole par-72 layout. At a mere 3 kilometres away from the city
of Alicante, this has a driving range with two floors of covered
tees and international golf school, where you can perfect your
golf swing. This course is suitable for all levels of golfer and is
a pleasant game in a nice setting with plenty of vegetation.
The greens and fairways are kept to high standards of condition
all year round.

Alicante » Campoamor
Campoamor Royal Golf Club has been built in a beautiful old
estate surrounded by natural areas of great beauty and design to
make the most of the unusual relief of the local landscape. Its 18
holes are distributed between two intercommunicating valleys
and are surrounded by small, low flat ridges protecting it from the
wind. This also provides a special micro climate where golf can
be played all year round. As with most of the courses along Costa
Blanca, the views of the intense blue Mediterranean Sea are quite
spectacular.
Alicante » Villamartín
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.
