This is a benchmark course in Valencian golf. It has achieved
international fame as it is the place where Sergio Garcia, one
of the finest players in the World began his training. Amateurs
visiting this course may even have the chance to coincide
with one of Sergio Garcia’s training sessions, which is another
attraction offered by this club. In the professional category it has
been chosen for the Castello Masters, the OKI Castellon Open
de Espana Senior Tour, the Ladies European Tour and four Tours,
which serves as the ‘final course’ for Spanish golf. The course was
substantially remodelled to host the Castello Masters Costa

German Professional Bernhard Langer won the Augusta Masters
in 1985 and 1993. During this high point in his sporting career, he
flew over the 80 hectares of terrain where he would later design
the Panoramica golf course. 70 bunkers accompany players along
the 18 holes from tee-ground to final green. The lakes are also
combined with both wide and narrow fairways. It is a course
designed for all types of players regardless of their handicap.
But, there are same demanding holes. For example, the 5th, a par
3 at 133 metres, with an island green where the water will frighten
away the indecisive players and rewards the brave. Also of note is
the 11th, a par 5 at 502 metres. Along the last 200 metres before
the green, the entire left-hand is guarded by a lake.
