Costa Blanca Golf
20 courses, grouped by their nearest town, to help you choose where to stay and where to play.
Golf on the Costa Blanca falls into three clear groups. South of Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and the Vega Baja hold the biggest cluster, including Las Colinas and Villamartín. Around Alicante, the courses are mostly a short drive inland or out towards Playa de San Juan, handy for the airport. In the north, the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa have a smaller, hillier set around Dénia, Jávea, Altea and Benidorm.
The two ends are far enough apart that it's worth picking one. Stay around Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa if you want a different course each day without much driving. Choose Dénia, Jávea or Benidorm if the holiday comes first and golf is a round or two, as several courses up there are 9-hole clubs and suit a relaxed morning.

Good to know
Where is the best base for golf on the Costa Blanca?
Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa have the most courses close together. Alicante is the practical choice for a short trip, with courses near the airport. Dénia, Jávea and Benidorm suit a holiday with some golf rather than a golf-only trip.
Can you play golf on the Costa Blanca all year?
Yes. Alicante's tourist board promotes golf as a year-round sport here thanks to the climate. Winter is a popular time for visiting golfers, so book busy weeks ahead.
How many golf courses are on the Costa Blanca?
We list 20, with about 360 holes between them. We only include courses we've been able to check, so there may be others.
Which 9-hole courses are on the Costa Blanca?
Altea Club de Golf, Club de Golf Jávea, Club de Golf Ifach and Puig Campana Golf.
Which courses were designed by the big names?
Seve Ballesteros: Alicante Golf and Oliva Nova Golf.
Can visitors play?
Many clubs take visitors and online bookings, though terms vary, so check with the club.
Why don't you list green fees?
They change with the season and the time of day, and many figures online are out of date. Each listing links to the club's website, where you can see current rates.
Some courses sit outside the municipality or province of the town they're listed under; each entry's address shows where it really is. Details come from each club's website and tourist offices; confirm opening times, prices and access with the club. Locations: © OpenStreetMap contributors.
