Golf:
Playa Flamenca is surrounded by five first class 18 hole golf courses ; Villamartin, Royal Campoamor, Las Ramblas, La Finca and Ciudad Quesada, all within a short drive from our apartment. Other courses including La Manga complex available within a 30 - 45 minute drive from the apartment.
Villamartin golf course is located on the Orihuela Costa and is probably the best-known course in the area.
Designed by Paul Putman and opened in 1972 the 1994 Mediterranean open was hosted here and won by Jose Maria Olazabal. The course is not too long, and is well adapted to the natural surroundings and terrain. Being located in the lowest part of a valley means it is not very undulating. There is plenty of Mediterranean vegetation as well as thick woods and there’s a natural precipice you need to avoid. A number of holes have water hazards. We can either arrange all your requirements for golfing at no additional cost or advise on how too contact the company we use.
