Golf available locallyAt present there are 13 golf courses on the Costa Blanca and several are within easy reach of Villa Mimosa. All are affiliated to the Spanish Federation and consequently can validate member's handicaps internationally. Most have clubs for hire to visitors and provide coaching. Each one offers something different for the golfing enthusiast in terms of facilities and relative difficulty. Please Note: Visitors must carry their handicap cards or they will not be able to play. The excellent all-year-round climate makes the game a pleasure even in the winter months of December to February. On this page you'll find some details of the golf courses within approx half an hours drive. La Sella Golf CourseAddress
A challenging 18-hole Par 72 course set next to the Montgo Nature Park, in the La Sella complex, the course has some marvellous scenery. Nine of the holes on this course were designed by Jose Maria Olazabal. The lush fairways are laid in the valley and are quite narrow, the course is well maintained and offers an enjoyable day's golf. The course is 6072 metres in length, surrounded by an ecosystem of Mediterranean woodlands and mountains. Due to its unique design, La Sella Golf Club offers a balanced course, suitable for all levels of play. The varied and interesting course is set in a protected environment, displaying beautiful views of the countryside, where many varieties of trees may be observed from each fairway. The relaxed atmosphere, together with the Mediterranean climate allows outdoor sports and activities to be enjoyed all year round. Oliva Nova Golf CourseAddress
The Oliva Nova golf course was designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The club, which has an 18 hole course, 5 hole par 3 course, practice greens, and driving range, occupies 50 hectares of land adjoining the coast. Almost “links” by nature of its location, the Par 72 course measures 6,270 metres in length from the back markers. It has been voted as Seve’s best design and water enters into play on 15 out of the 18 holes. As it has short, medium and long holes as well as right and left hand dog leg fairways, it is a true but fair test for all golfers. Oliva Nova has hosted the Peugeot Oki Spanish National Championships on four occasions and is continually attracting many prestigious golfing events. The course record is currently held by Miguel Angel Jiminez when he completed 18 holes in January 1999 on his way to securing the Peugeot Oki Spanish National Championship with 63 strokes (9 under par). Javea Golf CourseAddress
This course is situated between Javea and Benitachell, and is a 9-hole course, 3,035 m, par 72 (for 18 holes). Protected in winter from the cold northern winds by the Cabo de San Antonio, but open in summer to the breezes from the south-east, Javea boasts an ideal climate with winter temperatures averaging 14 degrees and summer temperatures averaging 25 degrees. The choice of the land used has provided wide, open fairways that sometimes flatter the golfer, but greens that are very well protected by bunkers. The Javea course is quite flat, making it easier to play and not so tiring in the hot Summer sun. The course has been attractively planted and landscaped around the greens. Apart from the course, the club has a large, well developed club-house with a bar, a restaurant, a Pro-Shop, television and card rooms, plus changing rooms and the caddy area. Club de Golf IfachAddress
The Ifach golf course is situated in Moraira on a country estate with the some of the best views in the Autonomous Region of Valencia. The course is 3,408 m in length. The well-known designer Javier Arana created the Ifach club to be short and tricky with numerous obstacles. It has a round of nine holes (6 par-3s and 3 par-4s) and even though the holes are short, the terrain and the narrow fairways make them quite difficult and technical. However, two rounds can be managed easily and players will be able to enjoy their game while admiring the view of the Peñón de Ifach rock and the sun sparkling on the Mediterranean Sea. In short, a great place for a round of golf. The position of the trees and bunkers makes some holes more difficult and introduces variety into how the holes have to be played. The course was designed in such a way as to make it necessary for players to use all of their clubs and requires great control, not only on the drive but also in the short game. The round is not too hard for beginners, nor too tiring for tourists who play in the summer season. There is also a club bar with snacks, the Micheta Restaurant, a large swimming pool and tennis courts Contact usContact us if you would like to book or make further enquiries - CLICK HERE If you know us just give us a call!
