La Finca Resort: Spain's Golf Haven

La Finca Resort resides in Alicante, where the sun shines relentlessly and the climate could have been hand-crafted for a round of golf.

Spain is a popular hotspot for European golfers and resorts such as La Finca demonstrate why so many opt for Spain for their next golfing trip.

In addition to La Finca being a world renowned venue, gaining access to the complex is simple as it’s situated 73 kilometres from Murcia Airport Corvera and only 44 kilometres from Alicante Airport.

To further highlight its appeal before detailing its features, La Finca Resort boasts a 4.10 Golfshake Rating, and it also ranked just outside the top 10 for Best EU Accommodation during the end-of-year Golfshake Survey.

Considering its mass attraction is its impressive and forward-thinking golfing facilities, that would be a wise place to begin.

Golf

The golf course was constructed predominantly for the use of tournament play, which resulted in an excellent layout being created.

The variety throughout all 18 holes is what makes this golf course so beloved, as you will rely on an entire collection of shots if you are to score well.

The course is sandwiched between the Costa Blanca coastline and mountains, so there is ample opportunity to take in your surroundings and smile.

From almost every part of the course, stunning vistas are on offer which should help soften the blow if you find yourself +5 through the opening three holes.

A buggy is advised due to the terrain of the loop, whilst there is plenty of water features present, so it will also be wise to carry an extra sleeve - or five!

The fairways are wide and generous, which should offer a touch of forgiveness off the tee, allowing you to play aggressively occasionally.

However, the main appeal of La Finca is its greens; bursting with colour, don’t be fooled by their immaculate presentation, they will roll fast and true so pace putting - as it always is - will be vitally important.

Moreover, the greens are drastically different from one another, with an array of shapes and individual beauty being present on all 18 holes.

The 7th hole’s green is a square shape with large dimensions that resembles an English bowl green and the 14th hole’s green is rounded like a Chinese wok.

Since its opening, La Finca’s course has played host to multiple prestigious tournaments, and these include: Junior European Champion and the Spanish Junior Championship for amateurs.

They’ve also featured for the professionals too, acting as host for qualifying for the EPD Tour in addition to the Valencian Community professional circuit.

Due to its helpful proximity, there are two additional courses that are located nearby and available for play, and these are Campo de Golf Villamartin and Club de Golf Las Ramblas - both of the highest quality and accessed within a short distance of the resort.
