The Costa Blanca has a superb selection of golf options for homeowners. In Orihuela Costa in the southern part of Alicante, communities focus around four golf courses all within 10-15 minutes of each other, namely at Campoamor, Las Ramblas, Villamartín and Las Colinas. Las Colinas (main picture) stands out as a PGA championship course set within a low-density boutique resort on a 330-hectare estate. Options in the northern Costa Blanca, include La Sella Golf Resort located in between Javea and Denia, and the Alenda and Bonalba golf resorts both close to the city of Alicante.
Further south, there is an especially good choice of affordable golf resort property in Murcia, near the Mar Menor and close to the region’s new airport. These can be found in the collection of Polaris World resorts, including Mar Menor, La Torre and Hacienda Riquelme, as well as the Hacienda del Alamo resort. This area is also home to the famous – and exclusive – La Manga Club, for buyers with larger budgets.
Safe and secure
As gated communities with good security and well-maintained communal areas, golf resorts are attractive places to own a lock-up-and-leave second home. You can leave it vacant for long periods of time, happy in the knowledge it is being looked after and kept an eye on.
Not just for golfers!
The attraction for golfers is obvious, but pick a resort with plenty of other types of leisure facilities, including swimming pools, gym, spa, tennis, children’s park and many other sports, and you’ll have plenty to occupy those family members who have no interest in teeing off! Most resorts have a clubhouse with restaurant and bar, which are not only convenient for eating out but are also social hubs and good for meeting other homeowners.
The views!
Pick a property next to a fairway and you’re guaranteed lush green views. And because a golf course is unlikely to be built on, you know those views are there to stay. And you can choose the type of view you want too – you might prefer to be overlooking a green, be somewhere more protected by trees or perhaps opt for sweeping panoramas across one of more fairways. Careful landscaping and clever development often means other properties should make little impact on your views.
Strong rentals
Thanks to Spain’s balmy climate, there is strong demand to play golf there most of the year. In fact, many people prefer not to play in the hottest summer months, instead opting for the more comfortable temperatures of spring and autumn. This means golf properties often have a longer letting season than, for example, a beach property, making them ideal for buyers keen to maximise rental income. And to make your life easy, most resorts will have a property management agency either on-site or be able to refer you to a local one.
