Casa Escocesa

There are five fantastic golf courses close to the property and to help you decide where to play this is a short review of them.

Casa Escocesa is  located near the La Marquesa Golf Course at Ciudad Quesada and it is a short drive  to the golf course, club house and local restaurants and bars. So for a great game of golf followed by an excellent meal out, you won't have far to go. However, all of the courses reviewed are within a 10-20 minute car journey from the property and are all very accessible for a day out.

As well as the La Marquesa Golf Course at Ciudad Quesada, golf courses in the area include: Villamartin, Campoamor, Las Ramblas, Golf La Finca.

I would suggest early tee times, if possible, as these courses get very busy in the golfing season. This could save you up to an hour on a round of golf. A handicap certificate is required for all of these courses.

La marquesa Golf Costa BlancaLa Marquesa Golf Course

La Marquesa Golf is our local course and  Casa Escocesa is only a short drive away from it. The course itself is situated in a valley between two hills. The attractive setting with wide greens, lakes, streams and obstacles, make play extremely enjoyable and suitable for players of all levels. Clubs and trolleys are available for hire from the golf club and there is a Pro Shop if you need to stock up. The course is always in tip top condition and the weather is usually hot in summer and warm even in the middle of winter some people say it is an easy course, one to get yourself ready for the more demanding courses in the area but it was upgraded bringing more water into play, accurate tee shots are required, and with quick greens, well placed bunkers and the longest par five on the Costa Blanca, judge for yourself.

 

villamartin golf holidays in the costa Blancavillamartin golf course Costa Blanca Golfing

Villamartin golf course is a championship golf course and host to many major competitions. The golf course is about 15 minutes drive from Casa Escocesa . Clever use of natural contours, an abundance of fairway olive trees and well placed bunkers, make this a challenging golf course for players of all abilities. The difficulty of the course lies in having to avoid a natural precipice and several water hazards. The Par 3 ninth with a tee shot over a lake, provides an impressive backdrop. It is the oldest golf course on the Costa Blanca and has hosted the Mediterranean Open. Say no more. Well worth playing.

 Las Ramblas de Orihuela Golf courseLas Ramblas Golf Costa Blanca

Las Ramblas golf course is without a doubt one of the most challenging golf courses in the area.  The course is the shortest and demands both accuracy and thought at all holes. High tees, narrow fairways and ravines feature strongly on the course. The first hole a 341m sharp dogleg right of a par four sets the tone. You can either gamble and drive over a rocky hillock or play safe by taking an iron, aiming for an area straight ahead but leaving a lengthy second shot. Although this is a short course it is a golfing experience not to be missed. Built around two ravines, with small greens and a number of blind tee shots, you will need your best game to score here. Bring a bagfull of balls with you.

 campoamor golf costa blancacampoamor golf course

The Real Club de Golf at Campoamor is only about 20 minutes' drive from Casa Escocesa The course itself is about 100m above sea level and is bordered to the south by the Tagus-Segura Canal. The 18 holes run through two connected valleys, surrounded by gently undulating ridges, which protect it from the wind and create a special microclimate, which allows people to play all year round. The front nine are fairly open, but fast, well protected greens are just waiting to catch the unwary. The back nine holes are an all together more demanding proposition as they wind through steep sided hills. Marvellous views over the Mediterranean. A long open course, usually in pristine condition, is a must to play. Although you can spray your tee shots a little, the greens are large and very three-putable! The clubhouse is palatial. One of the best in Spain.

 La Finca golfing on the Costa Blanca Spain

La Finca golf course is a relatively new course, which opened in about 2002 it was designed to host top tournaments and has possibly the greatest variety of greens of any course in the Costa Blanca. Lakes with running water and reed beds make it a particularly attractive course and add difficulty to the game. The course has become the home of many migratory birds and the lovely backdrop of olive and palm trees give the whole golf course a distinctly Mediterranean feel. Well recommended by our golfing customers and tapas at the club house are a must. At over 7000yds this is a course to test even scratch golfers. With large greens and bunkers and water on many holes this is a superb course and a must for the player with a lower handicap.
