Campo de Golf La Marquesa

La Marquesa sits in the municipality of Rojales in the southern Costa Blanca region of Spain's Comunidad Valenciana, approximately thirty kilometers south of Alicante. Designed by Spanish architect Justo Quesada and opened in the early 1990s, the course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the coastal plain, with the layout incorporating water features and mature vegetation that has developed over three decades. The design reflects the period's approach to resort golf in Spain's Mediterranean corridor, where irrigation and landscaping transformed agricultural land into playable courses for the growing expatriate and tourist markets. The routing makes strategic use of lakes and canals that come into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to manage risk across forced carries and approach shots to greens protected by water. The course measures over 6,000 meters from the back tees and features wide fairways bordered by pines, palms, and ornamental plantings that provide definition and frame playing corridors. The flat topography means elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on accuracy and course management rather than varied lies or dramatic contours. La Marquesa serves a mixed membership and visitor base typical of the Costa Blanca golf corridor, with a significant proportion of northern European residents and seasonal players. The club operates year-round, benefiting from the region's mild winters and consistent sunshine. The course has remained a fixture in Rojales' golf offerings for over thirty years, maintaining its place among the established layouts in the southern Alicante province.
