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.

Poniente Golf Course

(EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE, PAR 62)

The Campo de Poniente (Western Course) : Executive and par 62, with a length of 3,858 metres, it lies adjacent to  Asia Gardens on the downward slope of a beautiful Mediterranean pine forested valley with views of the sea and the mountains. The characteristic feature of this course is its natural flora, which is totally native to the area. Framed by a small valley, one is constantly crossing embankments, streams, pine tree copses and small rivulets as one goes from one hole to the next. 

This course is designed so that you will enjoy a superb golfing experience no matter what your handicap may happen to be. Designed with alternative par 3 and 4 holes, it tests the astuteness and skills of every player, constantly challenging your short game. It is regarded as a highly technical course, with holes that are genuinely unique and spectacular.  

The course takes less time to cover (approximately 3 hours)  but you will certainly find it more thrilling than most. It calls for greater control of the short irons and is very demanding for players with low handicaps, although all of its holes offer alternatives for players with medium to high handicaps.

  • White stripes 3.674 m. Par 62  
  • Yellow stripes 3.288 m. Par 62  
  • Blue stripes 2.860 m. Par 62
  • Red stripes 2.559 m. Par 62
     

After playing the first hole,  we get a pleasant surprise: the panoramic views of the course give us an idea of the impressive journey we are about to undertake.

The ninth, a par 3 of medium to long distance, stands out as one of the two holes on the course with no bunkers, but instead it is protected by its great length, an embankment on the left and a very long green with a high degree of movement. This hole has been called by many high level players a ‘circuitous’ hole.

The hole that present us with the most options is the par 4 thirteenth. From the tee we can see that this is a very different kind of hole. A central platform of some 100 metres that enables us to reach the green in 2 strokes without needing to take risks. The most daring option reserved only for heavy hitters is to aim straight for the small green with the sole escape route being to the right.
