La Galiana - South East Spain - Spain

Fashioned by Felipe Rodriguez and the Madrid-based Moon Masters design company, the 18-hole layout at La Galiana is located an hour’s drive to the south of Valencia and it’s set within a beautiful secluded valley, flanked on both sides by a perfectly preserved Mediterranean pine forest.

Opened for play in 2011, La Galiana enjoys a secluded setting amongst the hilly terrain that characterises the inland region lying around ten miles from the Mediterranean coast, with terraced fairways laid out in splendid isolation, far removed from any hint of residential development.

Measuring 6,201 metres from the back tees and playing to a par of 72, the course features a handful of holes where water hazards come into play. The most striking of these aquatic holes is the 522-metre 10th, which plays downhill to a green that’s guarded by water to the right and rear of the putting surface.
