Golfing on the Costa Blanca

Villamartin
Established for 25 years. This championship golf course was the venue for the P.G.A. Mediterranean Open 1994, an event which attracted such well known golfers as Severiano Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, Frank Nobilo, Ernie Ells and Howard Clark. Many other competitions also take place, both Pro-Am and amateur and are sponsored by such household names as Mercedes, JB Whisky, Corte Ingles, Audi, Rolex etc. This is the oldest of the three local golf courses and is really breathtaking in its beauty. Playing over undulating fairways to well protected greens, no two holes are alike on this superb course.

The variety of the 18 holes offered by this course was achieved thanks to an excellent design that gives enthusiasts the chance to enjoy using all 14 clubs from their bags. Of note are the fast greens which are always magnificently maintained.

Campoamor
Campoamor was opened in 1989 and although not as hazardous as Villamartin, it is the most panoramic of the courses in the region. The expansive fairways, excellent greens and lakes deceive the player somewhat, making this a long and testing course with six "dog legs" to keep you on your toes. The beautiful Club House of Campoamor which has recently been built offers the golfer and local resident bars and restaurant facilities with spectacular views overlooking the lush green fairways.

The layout of this course has been adapted both to the professional player and the amateur. The fairways are wide and long but the greens and the inclination of the fairways are the big challenges.
