Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club

Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club is a 27-hole layout in Andalusia, Spain, designed by Olazábal to challenge low-handicappers while remaining playable for higher-handicap golfers. The course is flat, with several holes running alongside the beach and others protected by strategically placed bunkers and lakes. It plays to par 72, with a course length of 6,036 metres from the men's tees and 5,155 metres from the ladies' tees. Alongside the 27 competition holes, there is a dedicated nine-hole par-3 course and a practice facility recognised by the Swedish PGA as among the best in Europe. One of the most-played courses in Andalusia on Hole19, it carries an average rating of 4.4 from over 100 golfer reviews — a consistent endorsement of its balance between leisure, training, and competitive play.
