Villamartin Golf Club

Villamartin Golf Club is a classic 18-hole course set among mature trees, landscaped fairways, and rolling terrain in the heart of the Orihuela Costa. Known for its strategic design rather than sheer length, it rewards accurate tee shots, smart positioning, and confident approach play into well-defended greens, with bunkering and doglegs shaping many holes. The established, parkland-style setting gives the round a calm, traditional feel, while multiple tee options keep it enjoyable for higher handicaps and still testing for experienced players looking for a tactical challenge.

Course Essentials

• Designer: Paul Putman (18-hole, par-72 layout)

• Location: Villamartín, Orihuela Costa, Alicante – a mature, tree-lined course in a well-established residential area, a short drive from the coast

• Signature features: Strategic doglegs, narrow-to-medium fairways framed by mature pines, well-placed bunkers, and small greens that reward accuracy and smart positioning

• Practice facilities: Driving range, putting green, and short-game area for chipping and pitching

• Handicap friendliness: Playable from forward tees, but accuracy is key—errant drives are punished by trees, bunkers, and tighter landing areas, making it a solid test for lower handicaps

• Best for: Golfers who enjoy a traditional, tactical “position-first” round with a classic feel rather than a wide-open resort layout
  

Discover the Course

Villamartin Golf’s 18‑hole, par‑72 layout delivers a classic, strategic test through mature pine trees and gently rolling terrain, where positioning off the tee matters as much as distance. Fairways are narrower than a typical resort course and many holes feature doglegs, so picking the right line and club from the tee is key to opening up the best angles into the greens.

Approach shots are rewarded when played to the correct side, with well-placed bunkering and subtle contours punishing anything slightly offline. The greens generally run true at a medium-to-fast pace, and confident putting is helped by reading the slopes that often feed toward collection areas.

With several tee options, Villamartin is enjoyable for mid and higher handicappers who play within themselves, while its tree-lined corridors, tactical demands, and well-defended greens keep it engaging and challenging for lower handicappers looking for a proper course-management round.
