GOLFERS on Costa Blanca North are spoilt for choice with more than 30 courses running along the coast of the Costa Blanca mainly between Alicante and Javea although further inland you can find the 18-hole par 72 golf course of Alenda Golf Course with stunning views of the sea. In the area of Oliva, the Oliva Nova golf course designed by the late Severiano Ballesteros which is a challenge for both professionals and amateurs alike faces the Mediterranean coast and is surrounded by orange and olive groves. Every time a new course is built you can be sure that there will be a development of housing, often a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas, and those who purchase a property around a new golf course can normally expect to negotiate very good club membership deals.

OLIVA NOVA: Golfing gems of the Costa Blanca North. So, you may see more golf courses popping up near Finestrat. It seems almost perverse that an area that doesn’t have a huge amount of annual rainfall and can be very hot for those enjoying the pastime is looking to build more courses, but you can reckon if these companies are prepared to invest 10s of millions of euros, their research will have shown that the market exists.
Golfers are often happy to travel a reasonable distance in order to play on different courses and as they become more skilled, they want to be on the most challenging. The Costa Blanca Challenge was a golf tournament on the Challenge tour that was played in the Club de Golf Bonalba one of Alicante’s best golf courses. September is a popular month for golfers and the region will attract many golfers during that period.
