Golf Courses in the Moraira area.:

Each one offers something different for the golfing enthusiast in terms of facilities and relative difficulty. Visitors must carry their handicap cards or they will not be able to play.
Club de Golf Ifach: Situated on the San Jaime Urbanisation on the coast road between Moraira and Calpe is a 9-hole, par 60, 3540m course, set in a beautiful fertile valley with surrounding views of some of the most prestigious properties in Moraira, the Penon de Ifach (Calpe Rock) and the sparkling blue Med. The world famous designer Javier Arana created the Ifach Club to be short and tricky with numerous obstacles. Many experienced golfers have remarked how deceptively difficult it really is.
Moraira:
Moraira is ideally situated in a bay on the Northern Costa Blanca coast of Spain between the resorts of Javea and Calpe, approximately 50 miles north of Alicante and 70 miles south of Valencia airports, with excellent motorway and coastal roads from both. The Costa Blanca, meaning the “white coast” is on the Eastern coast of Spain extending for more than two hundred kilometres from the citrus groves & the rice paddies of Valencia southwards to the rugged coastline of Alicante & beyond. It is a world full of surprising contrasts that captivates visitors thanks to its scenic diversity & cultural wealth, living in perfect harmony with a mountainous interior dotted with fertile valleys, luxuriant orchards & market gardens. The region boasts at least 300 sunny days each year with temperatures ranging from 14 degrees in winter to 30+ degrees in summer, giving it a microclimate, which is ideal for both holidays & year-round living.
Moraira, continued ...:
The sea & mountain air is highly recommended & the region is shielded from the cold winter winds of the interior by a screen of mountains. The World Health Organisation has proclaimed that the Moraira, Javea & Denia peninsula known as the Marina Alta has “one of the most environmentally perfect climates in the world”.
Unlike the coastal resorts further south, Moraira is free of high-rise development and package tourism. Originally a fishing village, Moraira is now a lovely small resort town surrounded by white-washed villas nestling in the pine clad foothills of the Marina Alta mountains & overlooking fine sandy beaches, calm seas and rocky coves. The area is designated as a conservation zone of extraordinary beauty, where height and density of buildings are strictly controlled.
The small town of Moraira still retains it's Spanish character ..with its marina, daily fish market, quaint churches, squares and back streets bursting with shops, bars, wonderful restaurants and market.
