Golf Course
The 18 hole Championship Course of Villamartin has a challenging par-72 layout that extends beyond 6,700 yards and provides a good and enjoyable challenge for golfers of all levels. The generous and fast greens of Villamartin are as internationally famous as some of its holes. The two loops of nine are very distinct; the opening half spans the higher ground of the club, affording splendid views over the coastline, while the back nine runs through the valleys amid the ravines. The 17th a par 3 where the player must make the ball fly over a beautiful ravine of mature pine trees to reach a wide and generous green. This variation and stern challenge helps to make Villamartin one of the most appetizing and best golf courses on the Costa Blanca.

Location
Villamartin is situated on the Costa Blanca within the Orihuela Costa. Villamartin is one of the many new developments in the past decade. The area is very popular with tourists and most of the population consists of Western European expatriate communities who have settled there in the last 10 years, virtually transforming the village into a modern-looking town. The urbanization is known for its central plaza located near to the Villamartin Golf Course. It consists of a bank, grocery store, doctor's office, and a variety of bars, night clubs, cafés and restaurants, plus a number of apartments. The Plaza is built around a square that has a number of palm trees which are home to quite a few African Ring Neck Parrots. These parrots have achieved a celebrity status with the local tourists who are not used to the sight, and are seen as a pleasant addition to the area. Villmartin is 5km away from La Zenia which not only provides excellent beaches but also the La Zenia Boulevard Shopping Mall which is one of the biggest commercial centers in Europe with over 175,000m2 of retail space!
