Local Golf Courses - Torrevieja, Spain Torrevieja and its surrounding areas is a paradise for golf players. There are several excellent golf courses, such as Villa Martin, Las Ramblas, Campoamor, La Marquesa and La Manga, in the area. The standard of these courses is proven by frequent visits of The King of Spain.  All courses are challenging in their own way, some are park like, whilst others have plenty of hazards and those devilish gorges that are typical of golf courses in Spain.  They are all of championship length (18 holes), and are less crowded than the ones at Costa del Sol.  At Costa Blanca every golfer is sure to find the course of his dreams - some of which offer  the cheapest fees in Europe!

Las Ramblas is also owned by Villa Martin and is known as Villa Martin II, but it offers a very different golfing experience.  It is 1km from Campoamor, and the holes are designed so that in most cases you have to hit over ravines. Remember to bring a lot of golf balls for this course!  However, the majority of people who play this course enjoy the challenging experience and want to play it again and again.  The Clubhouse facilities are smaller than any other courses, but the setting and friendly atmosphere are second to none and the outside terrace overlooks the 18th green.
