Villa Almoradi is a good base for a golf holiday on the northern Costa Blanca. Two nine-hole courses are a short drive away, the 27 holes of La Sella are near Dénia, and Seve Ballesteros’s Oliva Nova and the two Nicklaus Design courses at Villaitana are both within reach for a day out. The mild winters mean you can play all year.

Club de Golf Ifach, Benissa
The nearest course to Moraira, on the coast road towards Calpe in the San Jaime area. Javier Arana designed it to be short and tricky, with plenty of obstacles, and it has sea views and a clubhouse bar and restaurant overlooking the course. A good choice for a quick round or for less experienced players.
Club de Golf Jávea
A full-length nine-hole course close to Benitachell, between Moraira and Jávea, and around 10 to 15 minutes’ drive away. It is flat, which makes it comfortable in the summer months, with the Montgó mountain as a backdrop. There is a putting green, a driving range and a bar and restaurant.
La Sella Golf, near Dénia
One of the most popular courses in the region, designed by José María Olazábal and set inland near Jesús Pobre, on the back road between Jávea and Dénia. It now has 27 holes in three nine-hole loops, with lush fairways and water features, and sits beside a five-star hotel. See the La Sella Golf website for tee times.
Altea Club de Golf
A hilly nine-hole course in the foothills of the Sierra Bernia, close to Altea and La Nucía, with a putting green and a bar and restaurant.
Oliva Nova Golf
An 18-hole, par 72 course widely regarded as one of the best Seve Ballesteros designed, and a past host of Spanish national championships. It has a putting green, driving range and golf academy. See the Oliva Nova website for details.
Villaitana Golf, Benidorm
Two Nicklaus Design courses, a full-length par 72 and a shorter par 62, with wide fairways and a backdrop of sea and mountains. They are part of a resort hotel complex with a large clubhouse.
