Club De Golf El Saler
Campo De Golf El Tejo
Campo de Golf El Tejo is a 9-hole course with double teeing
grounds, making it look like a regular 18-hole course. It is a
difficult course, highly entertaining, thoroughly technical, and the
irregularityof the terrain means that the ball makes unexpected
bounces. The course is only watered with rainwater, making it
look dry and the ball slide along the fairways at good speed,
achieving better distances than those of a conventional grass
course. All the vegetation here is native to the area. Playing at
this course enables players to appreciate the differences between
this kind of game and conventional grass courses. It has so many
attractions that most players will not even see the AVE high speed
train rushing by, as it runs parallel to the practice range.
Balneario de Cofrentes
This Pitch & Putt course was designed by historic figure in
Spanish golf, Pepin Cabo and was host to the Senior Spanish
Championship in 2009. It is located right in the middle of the
Valle de Ayora-Cofrentes valley bordering Alicante, Muricia and
Cuenca – with the course taking advantage of some of the most
spectacular views of the Region of Valencia. This is a pleasant
course, with double teeing grounds and a series of water hazards
that contribute to the appeal of this layout.

Club De Golf El Saler
Opened in 1968, this is one of designer Javier Arana’s masterpieces.
Each day brings a new course, not only meaning difficulty lies
precisely in the wind and depends greatly on it. There are 95 natural
bunkers around the course, designed without any alterations by
course designers. This is true Mediterranean vegetation, in an oasislike, protected nature reserve. The course record is still held by the
German professional Bernhard Langer, who in the 1984 Spanish Open
shot 62 strokes on way to victory. El Saler has hosted important
national and international golf competitions in different categories,
in particular the Spanish Open in 1984, 1989, 2001 and 2013, as well as
the Seve Trophy in 2003. Some of the finest players in Europe have
competed here and Seve Ballesteros was a firm admirer of El Saler
golf course.
Masía de las Estrellas
Located only 17km from Manises airport in Valencia, Masía de
las Estrellas is a great 9 Hole Pitch & Putt course that is charming
but has tough & technical demands on all handicaps. The range is
250 metres long set amongst orange trees, olive trees and palms
making the setting truly stunning. The real treasure of this course
is something the player will never see, because it is all located in
the subsoil. 80% of the water used for irrigation winds up in the
large central lake, through a perfect drainage system from fairways
and greens through a complex underground drainage system.
