Golf

With a year round average temperature of around 22ºC, the Costa Blanca is probably one of the perfect places to practice golf on the Mediterranean coast. Dubbed "Spain's Golf Coast" by developers, the Costa Blanca is entering a new phase of growth with a marked increase in golf development.

There are already 15 championship courses located between Alicante and La Manga and with 10 more courses due to be developed or already being constructed, this eastern Costa is well on the way to rivaling the Costa del Sol for golf property and golf investment opportunities. With the possibility of a televised PGA event, agents are talking about a 50% increase in the value of golf property Costa Blanca and are expecting a surge of interest, particularly from northern Europeans. Already a popular area for property buyers both from Europe and from within Spain, the Costa Blanca is a natural choice for new golf developments.

The area not only has a enviable year-round climate, encouraging winter golfing and thus year-round rentals for golf property owners, it also has excellent access with daily flights to and from all major European cities to three airports (Alicante, Valencia and Murcia).

Golf development in this area will provide a range of properties for sale from villas to townhouses and apartments, all presenting an excellent investment opportunity for those interested in buying golf property in the Costa Blanca.

Several lakes with running water and reed beds along the course add beauty and difficulty to the game, and have made the course the home of a wide variety of migratory water birds, such as ducks and egrets, while the interior of the course is home to olive and palm trees, thus creating a beautiful backdrop of vegetation with a distinctly Mediterranean flavour.

Real Club de Golf Campoamor

 

The Real Club de Golf Campoamor, built on a former country estate and surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside, was designed to take advantage of the unusual terrain of the area.
Its 18 holes run through two connected valleys surrounded by low, gently undulating ridges which protect it from the wind and create a special microclimate which allows people to play golf all the year round.
The course is situated about 100 metres above sea level, and is bordered to the south by the Tagus-Segura canal.
In addition to this attractive and original layout, with marvellous views over the intense blue of the Mediterranean, the special features of the course create difficult rounds for experienced players and simpler ones for those new to the sport.

Golf las Ramblas de Orihuela

  

This 18-holer is on mountainous ground which makes the course very interesting for players who like to take a few risks. As it is very mountainous, it calls for difficult strokes.
It is worth mentioning the many trees that surround the course, and the water hazards. There are slopes are all along the course and although some of them are very difficult, they make the game more attractive and interesting.
The course is not too long and has wonderful views. Accuracy is required.

Golf Villamartin

  

The course is not too long, and is well adapted to the natural surroundings and terrain.
It is a varied course, although the fact that it is located in the lowest part of a valley means it is not very undulating.
There is Mediterranean vegetation in abundance as well as thick woods, although they rarely come into play.
 
The greens are not too small and each hole is completely different. The difficulty of this course lies in having to avoid a natural precipice and several water hazards on some holes.
