El Plantio Golf Resort

El Plantío Golf Resort sits in the Alicante province of Spain's Comunidad Valenciana, designed by Spanish architect Ramón Espinosa García. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the region's interior, where the layout works with natural elevation changes and Mediterranean vegetation. Espinosa García, who has designed several courses across Spain, routed El Plantío to incorporate the area's native landscape features while providing variety in hole character and strategic options. The design reflects the architectural approach common to Spanish resort courses of its era, balancing playability for visiting golfers with enough challenge to maintain interest for regular play. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with holes that move through different elevations and offer views across the surrounding countryside. Water features and bunkering provide definition and strategic interest throughout the round. El Plantío functions as part of a resort complex in the Alicante golf corridor, a region that has developed as a destination for European golf tourism due to its climate and accessibility. The course serves both resort guests and local membership, typical of facilities in this part of Spain. The setting places golfers in the interior landscape of the province rather than along the coast, offering a different character from the seaside courses that also populate the Comunidad Valenciana.
