LAS RAMBLAS
Go in land from the beach of Campoamor and you will not only find this fine course but next to it you have the fablus campoamor course, 2 for the price of one. Las Ramblas is regarded as probably the most difficult in the area. Narrow with many trees, some say too many add to that the traps that have been designed to be difficult and you have the makings of a hard day out on the course. The advise from those who have gone before is bring a lot of extra balls you will need them. The rolling landscape makes for easy and enjoyable walking, most though take a buggy as they spend so much time looking for their balls. Opened in 1991 by Jose Gancedo the same as La Finca
Par 71, 5679 meters from the yellow and 4761from the red tee. Green fee is 50 Euros (it’s cheaper than the other courses to help pay for the balls)

CAMPOAMOR
Campoamor has a lot to offer on and off the course. The fantastic new clubhouse stands like a monument on top of the hill at the centre of the complex. This area has been built with the needs of the golfer in mined from start to finish. From the club house you should take time out to take in the view, 100 meters above sea level you are able to see Santa Pola from the north to La Manga in the south and the mediterranion sea in the middle. The wide fairways and large greens of this course makes it very popular and isn’t regarded as that hard to play, but can hold a few surprises. If you have a handicap of 10 or 28 you will still have a good day out. The area is developing all the time with a new 18 hole course being built and many new apartments in the complex going up all the time, if you are golf mad you don’t have to leave the resort. Designed by Carmelo Garcia and opened in 1989

Par 72, 6056 meters from the yellow and 5094 from the red tee. Green fee is 40 Euros for women and 43 Euros for men. It is possible to buy membership that covers a period of one month to one year, and gives the possibility to play up to 3 times per week.
