Alicante » Altea
Altea 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.
Alicante » Alenda
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.
Alicante » Alicante
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.
Alicante » Las Ramblas
Golf Las Ramblas is an 18 hole course located in a scenic and
mountainous areas, which makes the round exciting for players
wanting to take risks. Due to the mountainous layout and large
river beds, players are required to take on difficult shots. Its main
features are the many trees weaving in and out of the round that
are cleverly blended with the water obstacles. The river beds are
present throughout the round, some of them quite difficult across
the 5,770 metre layout.
