Valencia » El Bosque
Robert Trent Jones Snr. created this marvellous green island out of
barren terrain in the mid -1970s to give shape to one of the finest golf
courses in Europe. It is built on the slopes of a large undulating valley,
where the lie of the land poses serious problems for players. The
design makes spectacular use of a privileged geographical location
and the irregularity of the terrain. The gullies, lakes and the stream
all come into play here. These water hazards provide the charm
and often cause problems for golfers. Its 96 sand traps add to the
difficulties from tee to green, as they are strategically placed to catch
wayward drives along the fairway or bad approaches to the green. El
Bosque has hosted quite a few tournaments on the European circuit.
Valencia » Oliva Nova
Oliva Nova was designed by Seve Ballesteros and developed on
smooth and level ground, 200 meters away from the sea shore. At
6.300 meters it is a long course there are many tee options. Fairways
are wide and generous, but water comes into play on 15 holes
which provide a challenge as players approach the greens. “Seve’s
revenge”, the par-3 6th is one of the toughest on the whole course.
The Ballesteros designed course also has its own Amen Corner,
comprising holes 13, 14 and 15, where strategies and wind directions
are the determining factors in the choice of club to be used. Another
Spanish golf wizard, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, set the record for the
course in 1999 with a scorecard of 63 strokes, 9 under par.
