El Valle Golf Course

El Valle is a strategic delight, a medium-length par-71 layout. Designed by the master himself, Jack Nicklaus, the course is routed in a 'core format', ensuring a more open and natural feel by keeping development on the perimeter. The design emphasizes accuracy over power, favoring the intelligent player who can manage their game around the cleverly placed hazards.

From the very first hole, the course invites you to think your way around the layout. It's renowned for its over five hectares of beautifully sculpted bunkers that separate the holes and add dramatic flair. These vast, white sand traps are a signature feature, but the challenges don’t stop there. Three large lakes strategically influence play on six holes, particularly on the back nine, where water hazards and cascading brooks add both beauty and difficulty.

The course is known for its excellent maintenance and high-quality putting surfaces. While the layout can be punishing for wayward shots, it offers an engaging and rewarding experience for golfers who embrace the challenge. The elevated 11th tee offers a panoramic view that must be seen to be believed.

Greens recently had been hollow tined however we were not advised of this and again made the experience somewhat disappointing. It is quite a difficult course with a huge number of bunkers.

The pick of the course, against stiff competition. If you're playing the course for the first time you will quickly realise that placement of shots into the green is key as if you don't hit the right shots the ball will run off into hollows/bunkers. Generous fairways (mostly) but on a number of holes the landing areas are tight. Spectacular vistas and some terrific holes, a definite return course. Greens were good albeit recovering from some earlier problems. Great facilities although the bar was understaffed the day we were there. Highly recommended.

Course is a superb layout, one of the best in the area. I have played this course before but was extremely disappointed with the overall condition & especially the greens which would have been considered bad in the UK in the winter let alone Spain in the early autumn. Only thing that let the course down was this, it’s a superb layout with excellent facilities and is worth a trip, hopefully we just got it on a bad week for the greens staff.

The course was generally fine, however the greens were bumpy and had what appeared to be either a fungal infection or infestation of leather jackets with result that all greens had an abundance of small patches of dead grass resulting in bumpy surfaces and which let down an otherwise excellent course

If the wind in blowing, stay by the pool. All our group agreed it was brutal and to a person we were all glad to see the end of the round. It’s narrow, difficult and has far too many bunkers even for a Spanish course and the water is in play a lot. The rough was hellish, filled with thick dense bushes that just swallowed up balls. Not for average golfers - rewards accuracy and consistency, exactly what a high handicapper doesn’t have. Save your money and go to Las Calinas instead.
