Golf on the Costa Blanca

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.

questions

Golf FAQ

How many golf courses are on the Costa Blanca, and where?

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.

Do I need a handicap to play?

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.

How much does a round cost?

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.

Best time of year to play, and how to handle the summer heat?

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.

Can I hire clubs or a buggy, and do I need to book a tee time?

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.

Which courses are good for beginners?

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.

Is there a short course for a quick round?

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.

Which courses are closest to the airports?

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.

Can non-golfers use the restaurants and pool?

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.

Course details last verified: September 2026. Green fees, handicap requirements, and opening hours change — confirm directly with each club before visiting.
