Golf in the Northern Costa Blanca
(working from North to South)
Area around Gandia and Oliva
While Gandia has its own small 6-hole golf course, the most well known one around is the Oliva Nova golf course. Designed in 1995 by Severiano Ballesteros, the golf resort south of Oliva is one of the best courses at the Costa Blanca. It is open all year and boasts an 18-hole golf course. The entire area is more like a golf resort with hotels and permanent golf property to buy and rent.
Denia Golf Course
From fellow Spanish world class golfer Jose Maria Olazabal comes the next 18-hole golf course. Designed in 1990, it offers a demanding 18-hole golf course and a driving range with over 20 bays. It’s one of those clubs that should not be missed.
Golf in Javea
Just outside of Javea in the direction of Benitachell you will find the next golf course on the Northern Costa Blanca. Being one of the smaller 9-hole golf courses, it might be just the right kind of variety you are looking for when you think you have played “them all”. The two additional putting greens and the 20 bay driving range offer enough room to practice your golf swing.
Moraira Calpe Golf in Benissa
For those of you who want to spend your holidays, or live, in Calpe, Moraira, Teulada or Benissa, the golf club Lfach would be a good place to start golfing in the Costa Blanca. As a 9-hole golf course it offers a spectacular view over the coastline to the Penon de lfach in Calpe (a huge impressive rock in the bay). With one putting green, it is one of the smaller courses around, but make sure you give it a try.
The Altea Golf Course
Heading southwards on the Northern Costa Blanca, we reach the golf club of Altea. A 9-hole course just like the one in Calpe, with a 5 bay driving range.
Golf Courses around Benidorm
Designed by Nicklaus Design, the Real de Faula Benidorm golf course is one of the best known around the Costa Blanca. Lying a bit uphill from Benidorm it allows an impressive view over the beach and city itself. Real de Faula has two very different 18-hole courses. The 300 meters driving range can host up to 60 players. Various practice areas are available, including a putting green, approach green and a bunker.
More Courses if you want even more...
There are of course more golf courses available in the area, but this may mean travelling a little further south to Alicante or north to Valencia.
