Golf Club Villamartin

Golf Club Villamartin sits in the Orihuela Costa area of Spain's Costa Blanca, part of the broader Mediterranean golf corridor that developed significantly during the 1970s and 1980s. Paul Putman designed the course, which opened in 1972 as one of the earlier resort layouts in this stretch of the Valencian coast. The routing occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the region, with the Mediterranean climate supporting year-round play that has long attracted northern European visitors. The design incorporates pine trees, palms, and Mediterranean vegetation throughout the property, with water features appearing on several holes. The layout measures around 6,200 meters from the back tees and presents a parkland character rather than links-style golf, with defined fairways and strategic bunkering that reflects design sensibilities of its era. The course has undergone periodic updates and maintenance improvements over the decades to preserve playing conditions in the warm, dry climate. Villamartin functions primarily as a resort and residential course, serving both visitors and the expatriate community that has grown substantially in the Orihuela Costa area. The club operates as part of a broader residential development that includes nearby amenities and housing. The course has hosted various regional competitions and remains a fixture in the Costa Blanca golf scene, offering accessible golf in a setting that balances mature landscaping with the practical demands of high-volume resort play. The clubhouse provides standard dining and social facilities typical of Spanish Mediterranean golf clubs.
