Golf on the Costa Blanca
Twenty courses from the north coast to the Orihuela Costa — cliffside 9-holes, championship resorts, and everything in between.
Twenty courses from the north coast to the Orihuela Costa — cliffside 9-holes, championship resorts, and everything in between.
This guide covers 20 courses across three areas: the north coast (Dénia to Finestrat), central/inland Alicante (Mutxamel to Monforte del Cid), and the Orihuela Costa in the south — the Costa Blanca’s highest concentration of golf courses. Courses run year-round; spring and autumn tend to be the busiest and priciest seasons. 18-hole green fees generally range from roughly €50 to €170 depending on the course and season — always confirm current pricing directly with the club.

Nine holes played from two different sets of tees give a full 18-hole, par-72 round. Set in the Sierra de Bernia foothills with mountain and sea views. Handicap certificate required.
A mature, well-kept local course in classic Mediterranean terrain. Its handicap requirement is stricter than most on this list, so it suits intermediate and experienced players better than complete beginners.
Three combinable 9-hole loops set against the Montgó Natural Park near Jesús Pobre, designed by the Ryder Cup-winning Spanish golfer.
Levante (the championship course, stricter handicap requirement) and Poniente (an easier “executive” course, open to all levels) — two very different rounds in one resort.
Set at the foot of the Puig Campana mountain, typically quieter than the bigger nearby resorts — a relaxed, scenic round.
A short, low-cost par-3 course — good for practice, beginners, or a quick round without the time commitment of a full course.
Designed by Seve Ballesteros with an unusual layout — six par-3s, six par-4s and six par-5s, meaning no two consecutive holes share the same par. One of the only courses in Spain and Portugal built this way. Holds ISO-14001 and Q-Plus environmental certification. Handicap certificate required.
A technical front nine with several lakes to navigate, set in hilly terrain with panoramic views. Handicap certificate required.
Two course options in one venue — the full 18-hole layout, or the shorter par-3 course for a faster, more casual round. A flexible choice for mixed-ability groups.
A relaxed, walkable course near Alicante airport — a convenient round on arrival or before a flight home.
Set against the Sierra de las Águilas with water hazards across five connected lakes — a demanding test of accuracy, close to the airport.
The highest concentration of golf courses anywhere on the Costa Blanca.
A championship, tree-lined parkland course with an environmentally-conscious design — ranked Spain’s 14th-best course by Golf World in 2022, and Continental Europe’s 79th-best in 2023.
One of the longest-running clubs on the southern Costa Blanca, and the anchor course of the wider Villamartín area.
A course with two distinct halves and an impressive clubhouse, restaurant, and bar setup. Handicap certificate required.
A gentle, hilly course set against a dramatically contrasting landscape — known for being a demanding test for stray shots. Handicap certificate required.
Opened in 2008 and nicknamed the “Island of Golf” for its water hazards and palm-fringed fairways — well regarded for green maintenance and a good mix of easier and more challenging holes.
One of the area’s historic courses, with every hole individually named after local history. Includes a golf academy and driving range. Handicap certificate required.
Known for immaculate fairways and undulating greens in the charming village of Algorfa. Handicap certificate required.
One of the newer courses on this list, generally praised for course condition and a varied, challenging hole layout.
This guide covers 20 courses across three areas: the north coast (Dénia to Finestrat), central/inland Alicante (Mutxamel to Monforte del Cid), and the Orihuela Costa in the south — the region’s highest concentration of courses.
It depends on the course. Jávea, Ifach, Bonalba, Alicante Golf, Alenda, Villaitana’s Levante course, and most of the Orihuela Costa courses (Campoamor, Las Ramblas, La Marquesa, La Finca) require a valid handicap certificate from your home club. Villaitana’s Poniente course, Puig Campana, Las Rejas, El Plantío’s par-3 course, Villamartín, Lo Romero and Vistabella are generally more open to beginners without one — but always confirm with the club directly before booking.
18-hole green fees across these courses generally range from around €50 to €170, with 9-hole and par-3 courses considerably cheaper. Prices vary by season, with spring and autumn typically the most expensive, and championship resort courses like Las Colinas sitting at the top of the range.
Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable playing conditions. Summer rounds are very playable but hot — booking an early tee time and carrying plenty of water is the norm. Check current conditions on our daily weather page before heading out.
Most of the larger courses offer club and buggy hire on-site. Tee times should be booked in advance, especially in peak season — walk-ins aren’t guaranteed, particularly at the busier resort courses.
Villaitana’s Poniente course, Las Rejas, Puig Campana, El Plantío’s 9-hole par-3 option, Villamartín, Lo Romero, and Vistabella are all friendlier starting points than the championship-standard, handicap-required courses on this list.
Yes — Club de Golf Ifach’s 9-hole course takes around 90 minutes, and Las Rejas’ par-3 course is an even faster option, well suited to practice or a casual round.
Alenda Golf and Font del Llop, both in Monforte del Cid, sit close to Alicante-Elche Airport — a convenient round before a flight. See our airports guide for more on getting around the region.
Most of the larger clubs have restaurants, pools, and additional facilities that aren’t exclusively for golfers — worth checking with the specific club if you’re visiting as part of a mixed group.
