Alicante » Melia Villaitana
(Levante & Poniente)
With two 18-hole courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Levante
and Poniente, the Villaitana Resort is a very popular option
for golfers on the Costa Blanca. Both courses show Nicklaus’s
unmistakable design and have the advantage of not being
included in a real estate development. Over an area of more
than 80 hectares, the US-style Championship Course, with
wife fairways and exquisitely formed greens, and with a length
of more than 6,6,12 metres, offers marvellous view of the
Mediterranean and of the Finestrat mountains.

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. There are five lakes, which come into play on twelve
of the eighteen holes. On the 14th hole, you have to play over
the runs of “a Roman country house from 1 BC, discovered during
construction.
Valencia » La Galiana
Have you ever fancied playing golf in the sun but been put off
by courses being restricted to club members or only available at
the most inconvenient times? Now there is a new championship
course that promises golf for everyone, every day of the year:
Opened in 2011, there will be no members at La Galiana. Instead,
anyone can book green fees for the 18-hole, par 72 course. La
Galiana enjoys a spectacular setting in a valley surrounded by
pine and orange groves, isolated from residential areas. More than
5000 local species of plants and trees have been used for the
landscaping, and water consumption will be minimised through a
sophisticated rainwater collection and drainage system.
