La Sella Golf Resort
La Sella Golf Resort is the largest golf facility on Costa Blanca, featuring three distinct nine-hole courses designed by double Masters champion José María Olazábal.

The facility is environmentally certified (ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environmental) and includes a full resort hotel, restaurant, golf academy, and comprehensive practice facilities. The courses are particularly impressive for their routing through pine forests with water features on the East nine.
Villamartín Golf Club
Villamartín Golf Club is one of the most established and respected courses on Costa Blanca, having hosted numerous PGA tournaments since its inauguration in 1972. Paul Putman's design cleverly takes advantage of the natural terrain, with tree-lined fairways (predominantly Bermuda grass) and strategic bunkering. The course has hosted legendary golfers including Severiano Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, and Ian Woosnam. Villamartín consistently delivers excellent condition at competitive green fees, making it an outstanding value proposition. The clubhouse terrace is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and Mediterranean cuisine. The course is within walking distance to the Costa Blanca beaches and close to both Alicante and Murcia airports.
Campoamor Golf Club (Real Club de Golf Campoamor)
Real Club de Golf Campoamor was inaugurated in 1988 by HRH Juan de Borbón, Count of Barcelona, establishing its prestige as one of Costa Blanca's most exclusive courses. The 18-hole par 72 course measures 6,277 metres and is strategically positioned between two interconnected valleys surrounded by gentle rolling hills that create a natural windbreak and microclimate. Wide fairways, elevated tees, and fast greens provide enjoyment for all skill levels. The course features comprehensive facilities including driving range, two putting greens, club hire, electric buggy fleet, locker facilities, and professional coaching services.

Las Ramblas Golf opened in May 1991 and has become a reference course on Costa Blanca under the design excellence of Pepe Gancedo. Masterfully routed through Mediterranean pine groves and natural wadis, the course combines natural terrain challenges with strategic bunkering.

The course is GEO Certified for environmental sustainability practices. The modern clubhouse provides excellent amenities including restaurant, pro shop, and comprehensive practice facilities. A fleet of 60 buggies, 14 premium Callaway club sets, and professional trolleys are available for hire. The course is accessible to both members and daily fee players.
Lo Romero Golf Club
Lo Romero Golf Club opened in 2008 and has earned the nickname 'Golf Island' due to its spectacular 18th hole—an island green surrounded by water that mirrors the famous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. Designed by Jorge Gallen and Enric Soler, the par 72 course measures 6,628 yards and was carved from a former citrus grove. The wide fairways, fair layout, and elevated position (10km from beaches) provide year-round playability with an average annual temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The signature island green finishing hole is particularly memorable. Located near both Alicante and San Javier airports via the AP7 motorway, Lo Romero offers excellent value and accessibility. The facility includes a pro shop, driving range, chipping area, putting green, and practice bunkers—no membership required.
Vistabella Golf Club
Vistabella Golf Club is located 12km inland from Mediterranean beaches between Jacarilla and Orihuela, covering over 40 hectares of native Mediterranean trees and flora. Designed by prestigious golfer Manuel Piñero, who brings 30+ years of tournament experience to course design, the par 72 course was fashioned from a former citrus grove. The signature hole is the uphill par-4 8th hole with a generous fairway and elevated green beneath the clubhouse. Three majestic pines form the club's iconic logo, visible from most course locations. The course is suitable for all skill levels while maintaining championship challenge. The facility features 23 floodlit practice bays, putting green, bunker practice area, pro shop, restaurant, and coaching academy. Excellent Mediterranean climate enables year-round golf.
Jávea Golf Club
Jávea Golf Club is a gently sloping nine-hole course opened in 1981 and designed by Francisco Moreno. Located 90km from Alicante toward Valencia, the course is sheltered from Mediterranean winds by Cape San Antonio, creating a perfect microclimate for year-round golf. The course features well-maintained Bermuda greens and fairways flanked by palm, pine, and orange trees. Although modest in length, the course presents significant challenge through 34 strategically placed bunkers protecting nearly all greens with subtle contours and reading difficulty. The playing experience is enhanced through design of different tees for the second nine, creating a virtually 18-hole configuration. Facilities include practice green, driving range, two tennis courts, Olympic-size swimming pool, clubhouse with restaurant and bar, TV room, card room, changing facilities, and caddie services.
Bonalba Golf & Spa Club
Bonalba Golf & Spa Club is located in Mutxamel, just 2km from San Juan Beach and 2km from Alicante city, providing urban convenience with championship golf. Designed by Ramón Espinosa and opened in 1995, the par 72 parkland course measures 6,096 metres with an ambiance of tranquility. The course features diverse trees, five lakes, fountains, and strategic bunkers. The front nine (holes 1-9) emphasizes technical short-game skills, while the back nine (especially holes 12-18) demands accurate driving for fairway positioning.
