Golf Courses at Melia Villaitana Golf Resort

Levante Course

The Levante course is the championship offering at the Melia Villaitana resort and with 106 bunkers and 3 lakes to navigate, it’s a tester. However, don’t be discouraged as five tee box options mean you can enjoy this course no matter what level you play at. The views on the course are special no matter what way you look. Some holes have a mountain backdrop and others have the stunning buildings of the resort, the course really has some wonderful views.

The 220-yard par-3 12th hole is one of the highlights of the round on the Levante course. This tricky hole is protected by four deep bunkers and the green is in a natural amphitheatre. A par here is a great score so if you make one, be happy and move on to the next! The Nicklaus Design team like to make long and challenging courses with a real American feel, this course definitely fits this mould.
