General description of golf scroll down

The Asia Gardens Hotel is adjacent to two magnificent golf courses, which can be reached in just 3 minutes by car. Both are 18-hole courses: Villaitana Levante and Poniente (East and West), and they have been designed and supervised by Jack Nicklaus (regarded by many as the greatest golfer of all time) through the prestigious firm Nicklaus Design, number one worldwide. The courses extend over gently undulating land without excessive complications in a privileged vantage point on the Costa Blanca. They have the features most in demand among golfers today, in that they provide both enjoyment and technical challenges along each of their impeccable courses.

These courses also have a practice area (a 300-metre long driving range, with more than 30 posts on natural grass), a putting green area, an approach shot zone with two practice bunkers, club hire service (Ping and Callaway), buggies, manually and electrically operated caddies, a pro shop, a café in the club house, changing rooms and a golf school staffed by professionals certified by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, which offers a broad range of individual and group classes as well as clinics for groups and corporate clients. 

Green Fee reservations can be made directly with our Public Relations Department where you can find out more about prices and availability. The hotel can provide a shuttle service to take you there and bring you back at any time.

Levante Golf Course

(Championship golf course, par 72)

Campo de Levante Golf Course: Championship par 72 with the characteristic Jack Nicklaus design, is an American-style course with broad fairways, exquisitely shaped greens and over 6,576 metres in length with amazing views of the Mediterranean and the Finestrat Sierra mountain range. Because there are no built-up areas nearby you can enjoy golf in a totally natural environment always with views of the sea and the mountains, in the spectacular surroundings of the Mediterranean Levant and the Sierra.

This course, which is at the highest level in terms of its construction and design, stretches for 6,576 metres from which you can enjoy the wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the Finestrat mountain range. 

  • White stripes 6.222 m. Par 72
  • Yellow stripes 5.777 m. Par 72
  • Blue stripes 5.201 m. Par 72
  • Red stripes 4.687 m. Par 72

 

The great design of its holes enables the player  to see from the perspective of the next tee where the fairway runs and the green, which permits the player to select the best strategy. 


The strategic positioning of the bunkers is a characteristic feature of the maestro Nicklaus, which must be factored in when preparing for each and every stroke. It is a factor that means the player must not lower his or her guard for a moment throughout the round. A clear example of this is to be found at the 4th, a short par 5 and theoretically a hole where players can recover, but our hopes of obtaining a positive outcome may be dashed when we find ourselves in one of the more than dozen bunkers that protect its fairway and green.  

Another hole we must not overlook, both for its beauty and level of difficulty, is the 12th, a classic par 3. The tees are located on a high piece of ground, where a set of 3 bunkers flanks the right-hand side of the green. Although the left side might appear easier, it doesn’t always guarantee a positive result.  


However, the hole that most dramatically demands that the player gets the strategy right is the 17th. On this long par 4 we find a bunker of over 60 metres that stretches right across the fairway. The player will need to work out a clear strategy if he doesn’t want to end up in the largest bunker on the course.
