Located on the outskirts of Alicante City, just a stone's throw away from the magnificent 7km San Juan beach, is a stunning modern 18-hole golf course. Designed by the legendary Seve Ballesteros and opened in 1998, this par 72-course measures 6,270 meters and is often referred to as the "big green lung of Playa de San Juan."
Featuring large fairways and towering trees, the course offers a spacious feel, but golfers should take caution when it comes to out-of-bounds areas and the five huge lakes scattered throughout the course. Precision is key when traversing the many hazards around each hole, making accuracy more important than distance.
One of the most notable holes on the course is the 9th, where Seve has taken creative license with an artificial lake shaped like an S that curves gently around the green. Additionally, golfers on the 14th hole can enjoy the unique challenge of having to clear the ball over original Roman ruins.
Severiano Ballesteros himself once mentioned that the course is attractive and varied, calling for the use of all clubs and requiring specific and varied strategies for each hole. The course is gentle to walk around thanks to its flatness, which also increases visibility. Despite its spaciousness, the course becomes increasingly difficult as players progress, thanks to a number of holes with out-of-bounds and the five demanding lakes that require careful course management.
Overall, Alicante Golf has its own distinct personality, and its many unique features make it an unforgettable experience for golf enthusiasts of all levels.
