The island-green par-three 16th supplies Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club with a late, precise test, where the tee shot needs a committed line and sensible club selection. It is one of 27 championship holes, arranged to create three different 18-hole combinations, so a second or third round need not feel like a repeat. The par 72 measures 6,631 yards from the yellow tees and 5,638 yards from the red, with bunkers and lakes asking for considered placement rather than brute force. José María Olazábal’s design sits on level former farmland beside the Atlantic, making this an easy course to walk, with gentle changes in ground level and plenty of open coastal character.
After golf, the clubhouse terrace faces the Atlantic, and its design takes its cue from the traditional chozas cottages of nearby Doñana National Park. Mediterranean dishes made with local ingredients are served in the restaurant, while the café covers breakfast, tapas and sandwiches. Saunas in the changing rooms are welcome after an afternoon on the course.
