SPAIN: Region of Valencia
The course of El Bosque was drawn in 1973
by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1975. It is one of the biggest
successes of the american architect in Spain. He did it in the
way that any type of player could so play it, but difficult
enough also for the most experimented. It is a challenge for
all the golfers, because of numerous traps including the water,
bunkers and wooden copses. If he allows a bad drive, the second
blow is always the most difficult. The majority of greens are
thin and brought up, what returns the choice of a little harder
club. And to train next to the course: two enlightened driving
range who can receive 40 golfers at the same time. Two practices
with putting, and chipping greens. The Club House proposes two
restaurants and bars as well as one pro shop very well supplied.
To relax, you can take advantage of two jacuzzis, one outside
and one inside, as well as two saunas. Other facilities will
be proposed as El Bosque will continue to develop.
This course is classified number 6 in Europe
and second in Spain after Valderrama. Only the standards rather
averages of the maintenance can slightly spoil the pleasure
to play one of the best European courses. Holes 5 - 9 and 16
to 18 support the comparison with the best United Kingdom courses,
we can say that the architect Javier Arana has invested himself
a lot. The others are also interesting but cross a forest. There
is here numerous closed greens and traps, but it is typical
in this kind of course encircled by dunes. Greens are often
enormous and slopes difficult to reach. 
It is the most old golf club of Valencia. The
course is a 9 holes, which the flat ground asks for precision
and for constancy because fairways are narrow and flanked by
tight trees, greens are small and surrounded by bunkers, with
a limited space to maneuver on the approach. And roughs are
numerous. What is important, throughout the round, is not to
lose the sight of the straight line. It is also necessary to
take into account the difficulty who exists when we leave the
fairways. Having said that, it is the course who remains simple
and comfortable, accessible to a big number of players. 
Designed by Ron Kirby, the golf course of
Escorpion opened in 1975. As it was built on a old orchard,
it has many orange trees as well as palm trees. It is pleasant
to to go through out the course by foot and the remarkable maintenance
from which it benefits makes it an attractive course, even if
its disposition has nothing exceptional. It possesses 5 lakes
perfectly integrated into the hilly landscape. Not being a very
difficult course, we can come to play with the family or with
friends and spend a good time. The Clubhouse, which was recently
renewed, is a beautiful friendly building. 
The Hotel Sidi Saler is on sea border, at
30 minutes from the airport and 15 min from the centre. It is
an ideal destination for those who wish to play on a golf course
far from the world, to take advantage of beaches and also of
the city. It has a matchless situation, with the golf El Saler
which is at 5 min only by car along the coast and three other
courses nearby. It proposes 258 rooms, 18 suites, all possessing
a terrace with a magnificent sight on the sea, equipped with
air conditioning, TV, telephone, direct line, mini-bar, vault.
A must for all golf lovers, because of the
18 hole course neighboring El Saler, considered as one of the
best ones. The Parador, situated in sea border, also possesses
good tennis courts, a swimming pool and a magnificent football
ground. The quality of its enjoyments and services make an ideal
destination to spend pleasant and active family holidays. Other
advantage: the town centre is only at 15 minutes away. The inside
combines classic and elegant style with a rather innovative
style. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, some offer a magnificent
sight on the Mediterranean Sea.
