The 17th sets the tone for a round at Villamartín Golf. This par-three asks you to carry a rambla to a generously sized green, with Mediterranean pines framing the shot and little room for a careless line. Robert Dean Puttman’s 18-hole, par-72 course has been part of the southern Costa Blanca since 1972, and its maturity shows in the established planting and changing terrain. The front nine plays from higher ground, opening up views towards the Mediterranean, while the inward holes move through valleys and ravines where placement from the tee becomes increasingly important. From the white tees the course measures 6,567 yards, though yellow, blue and red tees provide sensible alternatives at 6,417, 6,014 and 5,476 yards. The greens are maintained to an international standard, rewarding a confident stroke without allowing much complacency.
A driving range, putting greens, chipping area and practice bunker make it easy to loosen up before tee time or work on the short game after a round. There is also an academy, along with a pro shop, caddy master, bag drop, buggy hire, hand trolleys and club rental. The restored clubhouse sits within the course, with a snack menu served on its central terrace, while the roof terrace looks across the 18th hole. For a resort stay, La Finca Resort has a five-star hotel with 120 contemporary rooms, each with a spacious terrace facing the golf course, pool or gardens. An outdoor pool, spa circuit, gym, tennis and padel courts give the non golf hours some structure, and several restaurants keep evenings straightforward. Murcia Airport is around 25 minutes away, while Alicante Airport is about 40 minutes by road.
