El Plantio Golf

El Plantio golf course is only 3km away from the city of Alicante and the international airport of Alicante.  Despite being so close to the city the surrounding countryside, exceptional design, lush fairways and abundant vegetation make for exceptionally tranquil setting.

There are two separate courses - 18 hole Par 72 and a 9 hole course and a vast practice area.  The fairways are generally broad and flat, and the greens ample. Still this can at times be a challenging course due to the sometimes undulating terrain, abundance of vegetation and the water hazards provided by the two lakes.

Pro Tips
The size of the greens, just like the fairways and the tee-offs, is normally ample. Both the design and their upkeep are outstanding. The undulations of this golf course give any player an entertaining round.

It is surprising for such a long golf course to have such a little amount of bunkers, however they are so strategically placed that they are decisive in practicing each green, but not too deep so as to make a mistake recoverable. There are also two large lakes that complicate matters and increase the sensation of enjoying a fine game in the midst of nature.

The round starts off with a bang - a par 4 that is long and complicated. The presence of water hazards flanking the large sized green, which has varying slopes, requires lots of precision at the 1st hole.

The 7th, although short is one of the most difficult. Its sharp slope makes it seem longer, and the rough to the right and to the back of this tiny green calls for a good measure of precision.

One of the most technically demanding is the 10th, a par 4 extending some 379 metres, with an obliquely placed green and the additional threat of a water hazard. The second shot is particularly difficult because one has to negotiate the fairway lined with one of many palm trees.

The 12th is undoubtedly the most complete. Over 500 meters in length, where players have to overcome a dogleg to the left, along a fairway with swaying pine trees to approach an elevated green next to a water hazard, and marked by the steepest of slopes on the course, plus two bunkers to the right.

Last but not least is the 13th, a par 4 at 333 metres, standing out for its unique location, surrounded by the spurs of the mountain, with rough on both sides right up to the green, which is raised and flanked to the right by one of the largest bunkers on the course.

The length of El Plantio Golf Course requires players to use their complete range of strokes and successfully combine both strength and precision. The breadth of the fairways favours strength, but the difficulties closer to the flag oblige players to use good strategic and control skills.
