Course Report
Las Colinas has won ‘Best Golf Course in Spain’ at the World Golf Awards five times and is an award-winning eco-friendly resort blending seamlessly with the surrounding protected nature preserve.
About
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, just south of Alicante, is an acclaimed resort course designed by Cabell B. Robinson. Launched in 2010, the course is set within a scenic valley and protected natural area. With undulating fairways, challenging greens, and integrated natural beauty, the course is managed by Troon Golf, offering an exemplary playing experience with superb practice and clubhouse facilities.
Caddie Tip
Conservative strategy pays on several holes due to well-guarded greens and significant hazards. Pay attention to the direction of the prevailing wind, especially on longer par 4s. The back nine rewards strategic placement, particularly around the large bunkers and undulating greens. Local knowledge helps when reading putts and selecting lines off the tee.
The Main Challenge
Las Colinas presents a strong test through water hazards and deep bunkering, with subtle elevation changes requiring thoughtful shot selection. Several holes have demanding approaches into undulating greens and tight landing areas, rewarding accuracy over power, especially on the closing stretch of the back nine.
The Good
Golfers especially praise the integration of the course’s design with the natural landscape, offering a peaceful, secluded atmosphere free from excessive housing. The maintenance standards are consistently high, and the Troon Golf management ensures smooth customer service and memorable hospitality for visiting players.
The Not So Good
Some golfers mention that the course can become busy during peak periods, impacting pace of play. Others have expressed a desire for more on-course refreshment options and note that signage and yardage information could be clearer for first-time visitors.
