With year-round sunshine and an excellent selection of courses, the southern Costa Blanca is a popular destination for golfing holidays.
Guests staying at Quesada Dream Villa are particularly well placed. La Marquesa Golf is located within Ciudad Quesada itself, while several more highly regarded courses can be reached within approximately 15 to 45 minutes by car.
Whether you are an experienced golfer, an occasional player or someone looking to book a first lesson, here are six of the best golf courses near Ciudad Quesada.
1. La Marquesa Golf
Location: Ciudad Quesada
Approximate journey: 5–10 minutes
La Marquesa Golf is the closest course to Quesada Dream Villa, making it the most convenient choice for a morning round or several games during a week’s holiday.
Originally opened as Quesada Golf Club in 1989, it is now one of the longest-established courses on the Costa Blanca. The 18-hole course combines relatively open areas with bunkers, water hazards and more technical holes.
Its best-known feature is the par-three 17th, inspired by the famous island-green hole at TPC Sawgrass. Reaching the green requires an accurate shot over water—although there is also an alternative route for less confident players.
La Marquesa provides a driving range, practice facilities, club hire, tuition, a pro shop and places to eat and drink around the clubhouse area. Its accessibility makes it suitable for visitors with different levels of experience.

2. La Finca Golf
Location: Algorfa
Approximate journey: 15–20 minutes
La Finca Golf is one of the leading courses in the immediate area. Designed by Spanish golf-course architect Pepe Gancedo, it opened in 2002 and has since hosted amateur championships and professional qualifying events.
The course is known for its generous fairways, unusually shaped greens and attractive setting within the Vega Baja countryside. Water, bunkers and strategically positioned greens provide a challenge without making every hole feel inaccessible to the average holiday golfer.
Facilities include golf buggy and club hire, changing rooms, a pro shop, and a clubhouse with a large outdoor terrace overlooking the course.
Its combination of excellent facilities and proximity to Ciudad Quesada makes La Finca a strong choice for a special round during your stay.
3. Vistabella Golf
Location: Entre Naranjos, Orihuela
Approximate journey: 20–25 minutes
Vistabella Golf offers an enjoyable 18-hole layout set amid the countryside between Los Montesinos and Orihuela.
The par-72 course incorporates wide fairways, shaped greens, raised bunkers and water hazards. Players need to think carefully about club selection and positioning, but its different teeing options allow golfers of varying abilities to enjoy the course.
Vistabella also has an academy and practice facilities, making it worth considering for visitors who want lessons or time to work on their game.
The club promotes year-round golf, although early tee times are usually the most comfortable option during the hottest summer months.

5. Villamartín Golf
Location: Orihuela Costa
Approximate journey: 30–40 minutes
Opened in 1972, Villamartín is one of the region’s most established golf courses. Its maturity gives it a different character from many newer resort courses, with well-established Mediterranean vegetation and an undulating landscape.
The 18-hole course was designed by Robert Dean Putman and has hosted professional tournament golf, including a European Tour qualifying event.
Its elevation changes, mature trees, and varied holes reward thoughtful course management. Some areas also offer views of the Mediterranean, enhancing the experience.
Visitors can arrange tee times, buggies and other services directly with the club or through La Finca Resort.

6. Lo Romero Golf
Location: Pilar de la Horadada
Approximate journey: 40–45 minutes
Lo Romero Golf is slightly farther from Ciudad Quesada but provides a memorable option for golfers happy to travel.
The 18-hole, par-72 course occupies a peaceful countryside setting and is known as the “Golf Island.” That nickname is particularly appropriate at the final hole, where golfers play towards a green almost entirely surrounded by water.
The course combines open views with strategic bunkering, changes in elevation and water hazards. Practice facilities include a driving range, putting and chipping areas and a practice bunker.
Its distinctive finishing hole makes Lo Romero an enjoyable choice for a final round before returning home.

Planning Your Costa Blanca Golf Holiday
Green fees vary according to the course, time of day and season. Autumn, winter and spring are particularly popular with visiting golfers, so booking tee times before travelling is recommended.
Golfers should also check each club’s current requirements concerning handicaps, dress codes, buggy use and club hire. Those travelling without their own equipment can hire clubs at several local courses, although availability should be confirmed in advance.
During July and August, an early tee time can help players avoid the strongest afternoon heat. Drink plenty of water, use sun protection, and follow any local guidance regarding high temperatures.
