Mediterráneo Golf

Mediterráneo Golf is an 18-hole layout in the Valencian Community, Spain, that has done much to build the reputation of architect Ramón Espinosa. Set in a wide valley among mountains, just 6 km from the Mediterranean Sea, the course plays tougher than it looks at first glance — without ever becoming unwelcoming to higher-handicap golfers. Fairway and greenside bunkers are cleverly positioned and visible enough to inform your strategy rather than simply punish you. Olive, pine, and carob trees line the layout, and isolated trees demand shot-shaping in both directions. Water comes into play on seven holes, rounding out a varied and honest set of hazards. The greens are prepared at US Tour speeds — this is the home course of Sergio Garcia — and reward an excellent putting touch. Well-balanced and well-maintained throughout, Mediterráneo Golf is a course that suits all levels of player. Hole19 golfers rate it 4.5, with over 90 reviews on the platform.
