Vistabella Golf Club

Vistabella Golf Club sits in the municipality of Orihuela in Spain's Comunidad Valenciana, part of the Costa Blanca golf corridor that has developed significantly since the 1990s. The course was designed by Manuel Piñero, the Spanish professional who competed on the European Tour and played in three Ryder Cups during the 1980s before transitioning to course design work primarily in his home country. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the coastal plain inland from Torrevieja and the Mediterranean shore. The design incorporates water features and strategic bunkering to create definition and challenge on a site without dramatic natural elevation changes. Palm trees and Mediterranean vegetation frame many holes, providing visual interest and some wind protection in a region where coastal breezes can influence play throughout much of the year. Vistabella serves both residential community members and visiting golfers, typical of many Costa Blanca developments that combine golf facilities with property sales to northern European buyers. The climate allows for year-round play, making it popular particularly during winter months when courses in northern Europe face seasonal closures. The club offers practice facilities and clubhouse amenities standard for the region's resort-style golf properties, catering to a mix of local members and international tourists who have made the Costa Blanca one of Spain's most concentrated golf destinations.
