Golf Breaks in the Costa Blanca

Synonymous with white sandy beaches, lovely calm waters and sunshine throughout the year. With a lively nightlife along the coast, coupled with lovely, traditional, villages and towns inland, the Costa Blanca offers something for everyone. Indeed, it can also be the perfect place for golf breaks at any time of the year.

Hotel Bonalba

The Hotel Bonalba, in Alicante, is the perfect place to stay for golf lovers. The hotel building is literally just 200 yards away from the first tee of the Bonalba Club, making it a great location to stay. The course itself provides great views of the ocean and is a pleasure to play at all times of the year, due to the great climate in the area. There are a number of well-placed water hazards but the fairways are wide, offering some margin for error. Undulating greens and gently rolling fairways give this course a nice feel and it’s a good challenge for the majority of players.

La Finca Resort

Moving a mere 30 minutes away from Alicante airport, you come to the town of Algorfa and here is where you will find La Finca Resort. Located right next to the hotel for added convenience, La Finca is another course which features generous fairways and it was designed by Pepe Gancedo. There is a good pro shop plus bar and restaurant facilities. There are a number of hazards on the course, some featuring water but there are others, such as ditches, which are out of view from the tee and can present a real challenge as a result.

Las Colinas Residences

A recurring theme of a number of the top golfing resorts are the wide fairways which are present in many of the holes. The Club at Las Colinas Residences is no different. As an exclusive residential community, the facilities on offer at Las Colinas are superb and it’s widely regarded as one of the top golfing facilities in Europe. The course itself winds its way between valleys and hills, offering a lovely view of the coastline in the distance, as it does so. With the likes of tennis, a gym, shopping, bars and a beach club, Las Colinas is the perfect place for you, if you would like to remain in one place during your golf break.

Melia Villaitana

For something closer to the coast, why not try Melia Villaitana? With a hotel situated on the coastline, Melia Villaitana is a large resort which boasts two courses, both of which have been designed by Jack Nicklaus. Each course offers a different challenge with the Villaitana Poniente being much shorter than a traditional 18 hole course, at a total of 4,000 yards and the 7,000 yard Levante course. Alicante airport is only 50 kilometres away and with the two very different courses available, Melia Villaitana could make for a very good weekend golf break.

So, if you want to enjoy some great golf, coupled with a lively night-life, the Costa Blanca is the perfect fit for you.
