Mediterráneo Golf

A 18 holes layout that has done much to enhance the growing reputation of architect Ramón Espinosa. It is a gem of a course located in a wide valley among mountains 6 km. away from the Mediterranean sea, and the subtly placed hazards make it tougher than you might think at first sight, although not to the point of scaring off the lesser players. The fairway and green-side bunkers are cleverly located and visible enough to help your game tactics. The course is sorrounded by  a avriety of trees like olive trees, pine trees and carob trees. A few isolated trees call for elaborate shots, moving the ball both ways, and small ponds are in play on seven holes, thus completing a highly varied panoply of hazards. The greens, prepared at US Tour speeds (this is the home course of Sergio Garcia) are high-quality putting surfaces which are tough to read and require an excellent touch. An intelligent and honest course, this is a golfing arena for everyone. Being well-balanced and well-cared for, it is a course well worth recommeding for spending a great day out.

Mediterraneo Golf is located in a beautiful valley overlooking the Mediterrean - hence its name. This gem of a course has done much to enhance Spanish architect Ramon Espinosa growing reputation, whose work include the splendid Fontanals course in the Pyrenees. But what has surely bring a new reputation to the Mediterraneo is that it happened to be the home club of the new meaidatic golf star Sergio Garcia "El Nino".

The course streches through a wide valley at the foot of the emblematic Desert de les Palmes mountain range, with the dramatic backdrop of the Mediterranean. The original autochtonous vegetation of olive and almond trees has been left undisturbed and complemented by new plantation of pines and cypresses. The layout is well balanced, impecably groomed and hazards are placed in such a way that all player have a chance to score according to their handicap.

Totally refurbished in 1995, the splendid casa club hosts a wide range of facilities, including a bar, cafeteria, game and billiard rooms as well as a fine resturant with ample trrace ofverlooking the golf course. As a full country club, Mediterraneo Golf also features an indoor swimming pool and an ATP Tennis Centre, with eight clay and two hard surface courts, complemented by qualified instructors.

Accommodation is available at two Intur hotels, either in downtown Castellon or at the beach resort of Benicassim, both minutes away. Further lodging options include the Termas Marinas El Palasiet Hotel. Apartamentos Next Mediterráneo Golf.
