Villamartín Golf: Costa Blanca's Original Golf Address

If one course defines golf in Costa Blanca, it's Villamartín. Open since 1972, this is the course that put the southern Costa Blanca on the European golf map — and the thriving international community that has grown around it is proof that its appeal has only deepened over the decades. Located near Orihuela Costa and now managed as part of the La Finca Resort group, Villamartín offers a mature, characterful round in a setting that newer courses simply can't replicate.

What Makes Villamartín Stand Out

Maturity and character

Over fifty years of growth has turned Villamartín into a course wrapped in established vegetation — towering trees, lush surroundings, and a sense of place that only time can produce. The greens are famously generous, and the course offers views out towards the Mediterranean that sharpen the pleasure of every round.

European Tour pedigree

Villamartín hosted a European Tour event in 1997, attracting some of the biggest names in the game. That heritage still echoes through the course — it's a layout that serious golfers respect, while remaining enjoyable for mid-to-high handicappers.

The 17th

Ask any regular and they'll tell you: the par-3 17th, where you cross a wooded rambla to reach an elevated two-tier green, is one of the most memorable holes on the Costa Blanca. It's the kind of hole you think about on the drive home.

A genuine golfing community

Villamartín isn't just a course — it's a neighbourhood. A large and well-established community of European golfers lives around the fairways, with active societies, regular competitions, and a social life that extends well beyond the 18th green.
