Alicante Golf – Seve Ballesteros designed course is on the outskirts of Alicante cityand close to the San Juan beaches and is unique because the course is par 72 consisting of six par 3 holes, six par 4 holes and six par 5 holes.
On the par 5 14th hole you actually play over old Roman ruins and the lake on the 9th hole is in the shape of an ‘S’ for Seve.
The course is relatively flat but there are long distances between greens and tees and therefore a buggy is almost a must.

The clubhouse and facilities are open all year around from 08.00 till
18.00 in the winter and 08.00 to 21.00 in the summer months.
Bonalba is a genuine par 72 championship layout of 6,367 metres (7,004 yards) from the white tees and a handicap slope of 132 which indicates the level of course difficulty.
