Situated on the Southern Costa Blanca, 40 minutes from Alicante and 20 minutes from the historical city of Murcia is where you will find Las Ramblas Golf Course.  Located between two ravines Las Ramblas Golf Course is known for its narrow fairways and greens. Elevated tees give some spectacular views and you are protected from the wind by the many trees surrounding the course. With only four holes without water hazards, lightning fast greens, Las Ramblas will certainly give you a challenging round of golf. There are also 4 more golf courses situated within a 15 minute drive of Las Ramblas Golf, making it the perfect destination for golfers.

The Las Ramblas golf course is renowned as being the most difficult of the 3 Orihuela Costa courses (Campoamor, Villamartin and Las Ramblas) and is narrow with a large number of trees, traps and tricky spots. It is a fun course to play, but is easy enough to walk around, set as it is amongst low rolling hills.

Designed by Jose Gancedo (who also designed the not too distant La Finca golf course at Algorfa), the Las Ramblas golf course opened in 1991. The course measures 4,761 metres when playing from the red tee and 5,679 metres when playing from the yellow tee, it is rated at Par 71.

Best bit. The challenge of propelling your ball over a series of gorges and ravines. The first - a 341-metre sharp dogleg right of a par four- sets the tone. You can either gamble and drive over a rocky hillock or play safe by taking an iron , aiming for an area straight ahead but leaving a lengthy second shot. Decisions, decisions... and Las Ramblas is full of them." Today's Golfer magazine, January 2001.
Las Ramblas is an outstanding, undulating course in a dramatic, contrasting landscape. One minute you're trying to steer clear of trees and shrubbery and the next you're battling to avoid barren rock outcrops. Be warned it's a battle you might well lose. But you'll love trying.

Take plenty of balls. You'll need them!
