THE GOLF: OTHER COURSES IN THE AREA

LE MARQUESA GOLF CLUB
Map (1) 10 mins from La Finca.
Lies in a valley between 2 mountains, overlooked in places by luxurious villas. The course is quite flat with wide fairways interspersed with canals, lakes and other obstacles. Ranked as comfortable, yet gives players a chance to use a wide variety of irons.

CAMPO de GOLF VILLMARTIN
Map (2) 10 mins from La Finca.
Located in the lowest part of the valley, cleverly designed to use the natural terrain & surroundings, giving variety to the game. The difficulty of the course lies in having to avoid a natural precipice, and water hazards on some holes. Jose Maria Olazabal holds the course record.

REAL CLUB de GOLF CAMPOAMOR
Map (3) 15 mins from La Finca.
Laid out in two connecting valleys surrounded by small hills. This is the most panoramic of courses in the region. The expansive fairways, excellent greens and lakes deceive the player somewhat, making this a long, testing course with 6 dog-legs to keep you on your toes.

CLUB de GOLF LAS RAMBLAS
Map (4) 10 mins south from La Finca.
A mountainous course calling for some difficult shots. Las Ramblas means river beds and you will see plenty of these! There are also elevated trees, narrow fairways, water hazards and lightning greens. It's not a long course, but accuracy is required!
