Costa Blanca Golf Courses 2026: 30 Ranked by Price

Most 18-hole rounds in the region sit between EUR 55 and EUR 85 in high season, which runs roughly from mid-February to mid-May and again from early October to mid-November. Shoulder-season rates (June, late September) drop 20 to 35 percent. July and August are cheapest of all because the heat scares players off, with twilight tee times from about EUR 30.

Two caveats before the table. First, almost every resort course now sells online packs (10 rounds, 20 rounds) at 30 to 50 percent off walk-up rates; if you plan more than a handful of games, buy one. Second, buggy hire is extra and effectively compulsory from May onwards: budget EUR 35 to EUR 45 per buggy.

The table below groups the 30 courses by peak-season 18-hole green fee. Prices are approximate and based on published 2025 rates with a modest upward adjustment for 2026. Always confirm on the course website before travelling.

Which Costa Blanca North courses are worth the drive?

The north is less dense in golf than the south, but the courses are varied and the scenery is better. La Sella Golf near Denia is the standout: 27 holes designed with input from José María Olazábal, a serious practice ground and a hotel on site. Peak green fees have crept into the EUR 120s, but it hosts international qualifying events and the condition is consistently high.

Oliva Nova Golf, 20 minutes further north, is a classic Severiano Ballesteros design on flat coastal land. Fairways are generous, the sea breeze is real, and the on-site hotel and apartment resort make it a popular Nordic winter base.

Alenda Golf and Font del Llop sit inland behind Alicante airport and are the obvious choice if you are flying in and out of ALC. Both are honest 18-hole layouts at reasonable prices, Alenda the slightly more polished of the two. If you are weighing a property near either, our guide to Monforte del Cid and Alenda Golf covers the resort in detail.

Bonalba, Alicante Golf and El Plantío form a cluster inside 20 minutes of the airport. Bonalba is the quietest and most relaxed; Alicante Golf (designed by Seve) has the strongest tournament pedigree and hosts the Challenge Tour; El Plantío is tight, hilly and will punish anyone who sprays the ball.

Up the coast, Altea Club de Golf and Don Cayo are both nine-holers with sea views, pleasant for a half-day. Ifach Golf in Benissa and Jávea Golf Club are small, friendly and cheap, more village club than resort.

Which Costa Blanca South courses dominate the golf triangle?

The strip from Villamartín down to Lo Romero contains the densest concentration of golf in Spain, often called the Orihuela Costa golf triangle. Our dedicated piece on the Orihuela Costa golf triangle covers property around it; what follows is pure playing notes.

Villamartín is the historic flagship, opened in 1972, still a strong parkland course and the one most northern Europeans know by name. Las Ramblas next door is the dramatic one: ravines, forced carries, blind tee shots, more memorable than fair. Real Club de Golf Campoamor is wider, longer and better suited to high handicappers.

La Finca at Algorfa, a Pablo Martín design, is probably the most consistently praised playing experience in the south at a sensible price. Las Colinas is in a league of its own, both for condition and cost: five-star maintenance, protected valley setting, and green fees that rival the Algarve's best. It is the only course on the Costa Blanca where you should book weeks ahead for high season.

Further inland, La Marquesa at Ciudad Quesada and Vistabella at Los Montesinos are the budget workhorses, both well kept, both routinely under EUR 50 with online booking. Lo Romero at Pilar de la Horadada is longer and tougher than its price suggests.

Should I play Costa Cálida courses from a Costa Blanca base?

Yes, if you are staying south of Torrevieja. From Orihuela Costa or Pilar de la Horadada, the courses around the Mar Menor are 20 to 40 minutes down the AP-7. From Alicante city it is an hour or more, and probably not worth it unless you are chasing a specific course.

The Mar Menor cluster is anchored by the Jack Nicklaus-designed resorts at Hacienda Riquelme, La Torre, El Valle and Saurines, plus the slightly older Mar Menor Golf Resort. All four Nicklaus courses share a similar look: generous fairways, large bunkers, firm greens. La Torre and Mar Menor Golf are the most polished; Hacienda Riquelme is the quietest.

La Serena Golf at Los Alcázares is a shorter, flatter course right on the Mar Menor, popular with retirees who live on the complex. If this is where you want to be based, we have active stock listed under Los Alcázares and specifically around La Serena Golf.

Roda Golf at San Javier is probably the best-kept secret of the region: a mature Dave Thomas design with excellent conditioning and a smart apartment resort attached.

When is the best time to tee off, and when to avoid?

February to mid-May is prime time. Temperatures sit between 16 and 24 degrees, courses are at their greenest after winter rain, and daylight is long enough for twilight rounds from about 14:00. The downside is that this is also when Nordic and British winter residents are playing, so weekend mornings at the better-known courses book out two weeks ahead.

June and late September are the sweet spots for value. Temperatures are warm (28 to 32 degrees) but manageable with an early tee time, and prices drop noticeably.

July and August are brutal. By 11:00 the fairways are 36 degrees or more. Only play before 09:00 or after 17:00, and expect burnt-out rough. Some courses close their restaurants for a fortnight in August; check before you drive out.

November to January is cool and quiet. Mornings can be 8 degrees with heavy dew; afternoons are glorious. Rain is possible but rarely lasts more than a day. This is when you get the best green-fee deals of the year.

For the broader regional tourism picture, including an interactive map of federated clubs, the Costa Blanca Tourism Board is the official reference maintained by the Diputación de Alicante.

What should I bring, and how do I actually book?

All Spanish courses require a valid federation handicap card or an equivalent from your home union. Enforcement varies: Las Colinas and La Sella will ask every time, La Marquesa or Vistabella rarely do. Carry proof anyway.

Softspikes are universal. Shorts are fine, denim is not, collared shirts are expected on the better courses. Buggies are compulsory from May to September at most resorts for turf-protection reasons.

Book direct through the course website for the lowest walk-up rate, or through a regional aggregator (Golfbreaks, GreenFee365, Girasol Golf) for multi-course packs. Prices on the aggregators often sit 15 to 25 percent below the course list rate because unused tee times are perishable inventory.

FAQ

Do I need a handicap certificate to play on the Costa Blanca?

Yes in theory, and the premium courses enforce it. A valid federation card from any country is accepted. Beginners without a card can usually play the nine-hole courses (Ifach, Don Cayo, Jávea) and most municipals without issue.

Which course is best for a first visit?

For pure playing enjoyment at a sensible price, La Finca at Algorfa is the common recommendation. For a bucket-list round, Las Colinas. For a quiet introduction without pressure, Alenda Golf near the airport.

Can I rent clubs, and is it worth it?

Every course rents sets, typically EUR 25 to EUR 40 per round. Quality varies from new TaylorMade or Callaway at the resorts to tired range sets at the smaller clubs. If you are playing more than three rounds in a week, bringing your own via a hard case usually works out cheaper and better.

Are there any courses to avoid?

La Peraleja at Sucina has had years of operational trouble and the condition has suffered; confirm it is open and playable before driving out. Beyond that, every course on the ranked list above is a legitimate round, with the main variable being whether the price matches your expectations.

Which courses have the best on-site accommodation?

Las Colinas, La Sella, Oliva Nova, La Torre, Mar Menor Golf and Hacienda del Álamo all have hotels or serviced apartments on the complex. For buying rather than renting, see our overview of golf properties on the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida.
