Just over 30 minutes from Alicante Airport, La Finca Resort sits in the rolling landscape of Costa Blanca, with the Escotera mountains framing a course that's highly regarded across Spain. Designed by José 'Pepe' Gancedo, it's a layout that makes the most of the natural movement in the land. You'll find plenty of elevation change, shaped fairways and greens that reward the right side of the hole, so it's not simply a case of standing up and smashing driver.
What I like here is that it feels like a complete resort rather than a golf course with a hotel bolted on. The 5-star hotel looks out over the course and manicured gardens, the food offering is a genuine strength and the spa gives you a proper off-course option when someone in the group fancies a slower day. It's an easy one to recommend for couples and mixed groups because the non-golf bits stand up on their own.
If you're building a longer break, it's also a handy base for ticking off more Costa Blanca golf. Villamartin Golf Club and Golf Las Ramblas are both a short drive away and give you a nice change of style alongside La Finca's resort-championship test.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a quality 5-star base where golf is the main event, with enough spa, pool and food options to keep everyone happy. It suits groups looking for a more relaxed, resort-first feel than some of the busier hotspots along the coast.
Who is it best for? Mid to low handicappers who enjoy a strategic test on undulating ground, couples mixing golf and relaxation, and groups who would rather play three great rounds than squeeze in five for the sake of it.
Play La Finca as part of your next Costa Blanca golf holiday and we'll help you shape the best round mix for your group.
