It is located in the municipal limits of Altea, a Mediterranean village famous for the beauty of its historic quarter and the distinctive natural light. With a round of 3,078 metres from the white tees, extremely difficult holes - such as the 5th, a 580-metre par-5, or the 6th, a slightly uphill 227-metre par-3 alternate with recovery holes which also require accuracy if you want to land the ball on the fairway. Players tend to prefer the 3rd, with its views of the sea, and the 7th from where you can make out the mountains surrounding the Marina Baixa.
Escorpion Golf Course
Location - Northern Costa Blanca. This is Valencia's most prestigious golf course. The main feature of this course is the five lakes which are the regular nesting sites for various water birds, and golf balls, and the water comes into play for 9 of the 18 holes. The course meanders through peach and orange groves, and course management is essential to decide whether to chance it with the doglegs or not! No other course in the region of Valencia has grown as much as Escorpion. Founded over 30 years ago as a sports club, it opened its first hole in 1975 with designs by Ron Kirby. Twenty-six years later under the supervision of Alfonso Vidaor it enlarged the golf course to include nine more holes, taking maximum advantage of the size of the land it occupied. With the possibility of choosing up to three different routes, each with their own tee-offs, the Escorpion golf club has become consolidated as one of the most prestigious venues in Spain. It has just about everything one could imagine: spectacular holes, beautiful scenery and the traditional flavour of a time-honoured course. The club house set in a 17th century Valencian farmhouse is one of its most emblematic attractions of the course. The Escorpion golf club is the ideal scenario for enjoyable a fabulous game of golf. No other course offers so many possibilities. Its 27 holes are well adapted to any handicap but they also require precision shots all the way, and a good judge of the strategy to be employed at each hole.
El Bosque Golf Club
Par 72/6276m - Ranked No. 5 in Spain and previous host to the Mediterranean Open, this championship course has wide rolling fairways flanked by pines and large greens, very well protected by bunkers.

The fairways are wide and undulating with hillocks and gullies, set amidst the pine trees. There are over 100 bunkers and together with the water and the elevated fast greens, this is an amazing golf course.

The design of the courses means it is suitable for players of all levels, with the difficulty apparent at the tees.
