Levante Course
The Levante is the championship layout at Villaitana, and is widely regarded as one of the Costa Blanca’s most challenging and enjoyable tests. In true Golden Bear style, there is much in the way of ‘risk/reward’, where the brave may be richly rewarded for an aggressive strategy, however the penalties are sure to be severe if you stray too far off line.
Very much in the mould of an American resort track, the Levante has pretty generous fairways and gentle undulations throughout, while the large greens are receptive, and maintained to a superb standard. At 7,297 yards, it favours the long hitters out there, but there is something to entertain everyone, not least the spectacular surroundings.
Poniente Course
The Poniente is Villaitana’s second course, and is the perfect antidote to the lengthy Levante. Although the little par-62 layout only measures 4,017 yards, it is still enjoyable even for the highly skilled players, whose short game should benefit from the tricky short holes. Having a second course makes the resort incredibly appealing, as it is perfect for children, beginners, and those who are just looking for a leisurely round in the sunshine.
The terrific golfing landscape also benefits from being detached from the resort’s property development, ensuring a truly idyllic setting. The golfing complex has a first class practice range, which is over 300 metres in length.
