South East Spain

Spain

Designed by Blake Stirling and Marco Martin, the course at the Font del Llop Golf Resort lies 15 miles inland from Alicante airport and it’s part of an ambitious residential development which saw the golfing component of the project come to life in the summer of 2010.

Fairways nestle within a steep-sided valley and holes blend beautifully into a landscape, where a small river (once used in local beer production) runs through the course, linking a handful of small irrigation ponds that occasionally come into play.

The front nine at Font del Llop (translated from Spanish as “Wolf’s watering hole”) culminates in a long, gently uphill par five and its teasing split fairway lies on either side of a water hazard that threatens the length of the hole from tee to green.

Feature holes on the back nine include back-to-back par threes at the 16th and 17th, with each of these “short holes” measuring almost two hundred metres from the back tees.

Opened in May 2010 and designed by Blake Stirling and Marco Martin, the layout at Font del Llop Golf Resort has the potential to become the finest golf course in the Alicante region.
