Golf on the Costa Blanca
Golfers in the Costa Blanca are spoilt for choice with 16 different 18 hole golf courses spread throughout the area. All are around resort areas providing much in the way of accommodation and activities. The Costa Blanca with its balmy weather, beautiful countryside, white sand beaches and unique culture and lifestyle is a golfer’s paradise where one can play almost all year round.
A very popular option nowadays is the golfer’s holiday package providing green fees and tuition, accommodation and flights all in one. Over 500,000 golf enthusiasts visit the Costa Blanca each year and it’s not hard to see why.
Although all the golf courses are equipped to a high standard and feature facilities to please the majority of discerning golfers there are a few that go way beyond the norm to bring a visitor some spectacular golfing and other holiday features.
La Sella Golf Course and Spa is close to Denia and Javea. Surrounded by magnificent scenic views and close to beaches and harbours it offers something for everyone. The superb 18 hole golf course (with an extra 9 holes in the pipeline) was designed by two time Masters winner Jose Maria Olazabal in 1991 and is renowned internationally for its year round excellent golf conditions as well as its Spa facilities.
The Villaitana Wellness, Golf and Business Resort near Benidorm has two 18 hole golf courses designed by the famous Jack Nicklaus. A luxurious purpose built Mediterranean village with everything a visitor could possibly ask for and outstanding golf courses set in beautiful natural surroundings, each with their own particular character and challenges.
La Torre Golf Resort on the Costa Calida has a very grand, palm tree lined entrance and the Mediterranean atmosphere continues throughout the grounds featuring citrus trees, fountains and many other features. Although many appreciate the 22 swimming pools, tennis courts, nearby beach and international supermarket amongst other popular features, the Jack Nicklaus designed Golf Course with its excellent facilities is by far the main reason that this resort is so popular with beginners up to the more advanced players.
Some of the other smaller golf courses have less of a resort feel about them but offer golf of equal quality with different features and more amenities for the committed golfer. If you are thinking of going to the Costa Blanca for a golf holiday you will not be disappointed, amongst the wide choice available you are sure to find the perfect golf course for you.
