Alicante Golf was officially opened on 23 January 1998, and is located on the San Juan beach just 5 minutes from the centre of Alicante. Severiano Ballesteros designed the par 72 course with a singular layout of 6 par 3, 6 par 4 and 6 par 5.

On the shores of the Mediterranean is Alicante Golf, located on the spectacular San Juan beach just 5 minutes from the centre of Alicante. Set out like a green lung in the residential area, the course has wide holes planted with thousands of trees and where care for the environment and savings in water consumption are priority aspects, which has won it the honour of being the first course in Europe to jointly obtain the two most prestigious environmental quality certificates: ISO-14.001 and Q-Plus.

Alicante Golf is considered one of the courses with the best maintenance and design of the whole of Spain, a reputation enhanced by the performance of the important and costly green reconstruction project which lasted 5 years between 2004 and 2008, in which the course’s 18 greens were rebuilt to improve the design and the agricultural aspects of watering, drainage, landscaping and moulding.

The course record was set at 62 strokes by the great Pepín Rivero, a member of the European Ryder Cup champions team in 1985 and 1987, on the first day of the APG Spanish Championship in 2003, taking the record from José Manuel Lara who had left it at 64 strokes a year before on the third day of play of the APG Spanish Championship 2002.
