Title: golf courses in the area
Post by: matjo on July 27, 2016, 20:13.

sorry if this should be in the sports area (admin feel free to move it there)
Pretty regular visitor to GA and I'm looking to play golf in the area (within 20 miles) so just looking for some advice on where to play.
many thanks.

Bonalbas really nice. There's a golf course and a nice pool area and restaurant. Our hubbies play 9 holes and we chill out round pool then have nice lunch. Is a good day

As regards advice on where to play, it depends on what you are looking for. You don't say whether you are a social golfer or a really serious low handicapper or somewhere in between.

If you want a challenge, try Las Ramblas, generally thought of as one of the toughest in the area - http://www.golfquara.com/las-ramblas/golf-las-ramblas.htm - or for a gentler, but testing,  walk try La Finca or Villamartin (same ownership), all these are south of Alicante around 30 mins drive. El Plantio is closest to GA and has some interesting holes, Alenda is further out on the road to Madrid and is a good course with several challenging holes, Font de Llop is another tough one and Bonalba is a good course for all and quite scenic in places. All this in my personal opinion, of course, others may have different views.

Have a good trip wherever you decide to play.

Alicante golf course is a great course designed by Seve Ballesteros and well worth a visit. As with all the courses best booking a tee time as they can get very busy with societies etc but quitter in summer as too hot for most!

Hi all thanks for the advice, as i'm just a social player don't really want to much of a test but seems most of the local courses are well thought of.

Go to Websters and have a word with Mick about going along with the golf society. They play on a Tuesday and accept guests. Usually get much better deals on green fees as well.
