It's regularly featured in lists of the world's top 100 courses. El Bosque Golf and Oliva Nova are the next most respected options in the region.
Is Valencia a good golf-and-culture base?
Yes — strong in particular for travellers who want world-class architecture (Calatrava's Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias), the Albufera natural park, an emerging food scene (Valencia is the home of paella) and an authentic Spanish-city feel. Course density is lower than the Costa del Sol but on par with Barcelona, and prices are 20-30% cheaper.
When is the best season to play golf in Valencia?
October to May is peak season, with daytime temperatures of 17-22°C. Spring (March-May) is particularly beautiful as the orange groves bloom inland. Summer (July-August) is hot (28-32°C) but the Mediterranean coast stays cooler than inland Spain, and morning rounds are pleasant. Las Fallas festival in March is famous but makes hotels expensive.
