Few parts of Spain pack so much quality golf into so small an area as the southern edge of Alicante. From Playa Flamenca you have four prestigious courses within a fifteen-minute drive, all built to be played year-round thanks to the mild climate of Orihuela Costa. If golf is part of your holiday — or the main reason for it — this is your area.
Villamartín: the local classic
Villamartín is the most established course in the area and the closest to our apartments. Opened in the 1980s, it hosted the Mediterranean Open and remains a favourite for its balanced layout and tree-lined fairways — demanding yet kind to the average player. Around the 18th hole sits the well-known Villamartín plaza, with bars and restaurants for a drink once the round is over. It’s just a few minutes’ drive from Playa Flamenca.
Las Ramblas: golf among pines and ravines
If you’re after a course with character, Las Ramblas is one of the most spectacular. Set between pine woods and natural ravines, it rewards strategy over power: you have to think through every shot and choose your club carefully. It’s a technical layout, with changes in elevation and views that stay with you — ideal for anyone with a bit of experience who wants a design quite different from the flat seaside courses.
Campoamor and Las Colinas: two ways to play
Campoamor (Real Club de Golf Campoamor) is a broad, panoramic course with good facilities and a layout that mixes open holes with more sheltered ones. It’s a comfortable choice for playing as a group or a family, with every service close at hand.
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is the most exclusive of the four: a private valley where each hole runs in isolation between hillsides, with no homes in sight, giving it an unusual sense of calm. It is consistently rated among the best courses in Spain year after year. If you want to treat yourself to a golfing splurge, this is the place.
Beyond golf: padel and sport for everyone
The area isn’t just golf. Alongside these courses you’ll find padel clubs with courts to book by the hour, plus tennis and routes for walking or cycling. It’s all gathered in our guide to golf and padel in the area, with distances and links to each venue. It’s easy to pair a morning of golf with an afternoon of padel or the beach.
Where to stay for a golf break
For a golf break, the ideal is to sleep close to the courses and keep the early start to a minimum. La Calma, in Playa Flamenca, fits especially well: a quiet apartment made for couples and longer stays, a few minutes’ drive from Villamartín and Las Ramblas. After your round, you come back to a peaceful setting with a communal pool, and the beach and restaurants are a short walk away.
You book directly with us, the owners, with no platform commission and a four-night minimum. If you’re coming to play several days or want to arrange green fees for a group, get in touch: we’ll help you line up the dates and make the most of your golf stay on the Costa Blanca.
