  We were recently fortunate to be invited to play a brand new addition to the excellent golf courses in this region.
Las Colinas Golf and Country Club opened in June 2010 and we believe will prove to be a worthy addition to the various challenging courses in the Costa Blanca.

Please take a look at an in depth 18 hole review for all interested golfers coming to the area which, if you read through this may help you save a few shots. http://www.golf4ualicante.com/golf-courses.html  we hope you enjoy.
We would also like to hear about your experiences when you play this fabulous new golf course in the comments section.

The par-71 course is designed by Cabell B. Robinson who is well renowned in the golf industry for designs such as La Reserva in Sotogrande, Praia d’El Rey in Portugal and La Finca de Cortesin on the Costa del Sol, which was the venue for the Volvo Matchplay event in 2009. When he sat down to plan the 6,377 meter course layout, a major factor in this mind was blending the course with the indigenous Mediterranean surrounding to “make it look like an integrated part of the existing landscape”.
The end result is golf course that runs along the valley with towering hills to act as a place of isolation and intimacy. This is something which is not possible at a lot of Spanish courses. Mr. Robinson explained he wanted to “use the rich Mediterranean vegetation surrounding the course, [to give] the development a beauty intrinsic to the spot that we have tried to preserve. Thus, the plants that were added to adorn the course are indigenous, because the goal of the design was to make it look like and integrated part of the existing landscape.”  A truly remarkable golf course.
