Are There Golf Courses in Benidorm? Your Complete Guide to the Best Greens

Benidorm Golf at a Glance

Yes, Benidorm is a premier destination for golfers, featuring world-class courses designed by legends like Jack Nicklaus. Within 10 to 15 minutes of the city centre, you can access the championship Levante and executive Poniente courses at Melia Villaitana, as well as the coastal Puig Campana and the family-friendly Las Rejas. For a seamless trip, book centrally located Benidorm hotels, arrange private golf transfers, and utilise premium Benidorm golf club hire to avoid airline fees.

More Than Just Nightlife

When most people think of Benidorm, they picture the neon lights of the Square or the golden sands of Levante Beach. But for those in the know, the real magic happens on the fairways. With a unique microclimate that allows for year-round play, Benidorm has quietly become one of the top spots for Benidorm golf holidays in the Costa Blanca.

The Top Courses Within 15 Minutes of Benidorm

You don’t have to travel far from your hotel to find top-tier golf. Here are the heavy hitters located right on our doorstep:

• Melia Villaitana (Levante Course): A par-72 American-style championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus. It features 106 bunkers and wide fairways with stunning views of the Mediterranean.

• Melia Villaitana (Poniente Course): The “Executive” sister course, a par-62 set in a pine-filled valley. It’s shorter (about 3.5 hours to play) and perfect for honing your short game.

• Puig Campana Golf: Located in nearby Finestrat, this newer course offers incredible mountain and sea vistas. It is an 18-hole course (played as 2 x 9 holes) that challenges golfers of all levels.

Las Rejas Open Club: Situated just minutes from the city centre, this is a 9-hole pitch and putt course ideal for a quick practice round under the Benidorm sun.

Exploring Further: Our 12 Partner Courses

At Union Jack Golf Benidorm, we give you access to a total of 12 partner courses. If you fancy a short drive, we highly recommend:

• Altea Club de Golf: A picturesque 9-hole course (par 72 for 18 holes) tucked between the sea and the Sierra Bernia mountains.

• Alenda Golf: A challenging 18-hole course known for its fast greens and excellent maintenance.

• Font Del Llop: An American-Scottish hybrid design that integrates perfectly with the natural valley landscape.

Course Comparison for Your Trip

Local Resident Tip: If you’re playing at Puig Campana in the summer, try to tee off before 9:00 AM. The mountain air is crisp and cool then, but by midday, the sun reflects off the rock face and can make those uphill putts feel a lot longer!

Absolutely. As an official golf tour operator since 2016, Glen and our team negotiate the best discounted green fees directly with our 12 partner courses to ensure our clients get rates they can’t find elsewhere.
