Alenda Golf is located on the Alicante - Madrid road -just 20 minutes away from Gran Alacant and is designed by Roland Favrat. Alenda Golf is a new course which opened in 1999. Alenda Golf has great views across the mountains and the Mediterranean. The tee shots require good positioning, and the elevated greens offer a challenge to any standard of golfer on a mountain course overlooking the sea. Alenda Golf club house is an old restored farm house where you can find a restaurant-cafeteria, changing rooms and golf shop. There is also a driving range and putting green. The first 9 holes of Alenda Golf are entertaining and easier to play, with wide fairways (which help tee shots) limited by pines, carob trees and palm trees. On the contrary, the second 9 holes of Alenda Golf require a higher concentration being more technical and precision is more important than distance. The greens at Alenda Golf give a special character to the course because the slopes allow for a variety of flag positions making putting even more fun. The course at Alenda Golf is not too long with wide fairways, giving the less experienced golfer confidence on the tees. Different tee positions make this a challenge for all golfers. Advanced booking recommended. Proof of handicap necessary.

Alicante Golf has 6 par 5s, par 4s and par 3s, on this Ballesteros designed course, which is a city course located near to the beach and is just 25 minutes away from Gran Alacant. The ample, flat fairways are interspersed with water hazards, making this a good holiday golfing choice.  Alicante Golf is a city course located next to the beach and is spacious but there are a number of holes, water hazards and out-of-bounds and the course increases in difficulty as it goes on. It has amazing backdrops of scenery, with a combination of rugged mountains, the blue Mediterranean and the skyscraper skyline of Alicante City.

The El Plantio Golf Club is the only one in the region of Valencia that has two golf courses, the first is the excellent 18 holes, and the second is a pretty little 9-hole course and is just 10 minutes away from Gran Alacant. El Plantio is an oasis of lush green fairways with a variety of palm, fig and cork trees, which make it an excellent environment to play in. All levels are catered for, making El Plantio the ideal destination for the whole family. The fairways are broad and comfortable, however the slopes along the 2nd, 12th and 13th holes are the only complications on a course that generally has flat or only slightly undulating fairways. Only the abundant vegetation can make things difficult for drives leading up to the approach to the greens. There are also two large lakes that complicate matters and increase the sensation of enjoying a fine game in the midst of nature.
