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.
