Club De Golf Bonalba

Overview

Club De Golf Bonalba is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Mutxamel on the Costa Blanca. Ramón Espinosa designed the layout around wide fairways, large greens, established trees, bunkers, lakes and natural changes in elevation.

The course sits above the Mediterranean near Hotel Bonalba Alicante. Its elevated position provides views across the surrounding countryside, mountains and coastline.

Course Details

Club De Golf Bonalba has generous Bermuda-grass fairways, which receive winter reseeding with ryegrass. The large greens use Pencross grass, with Seaside grass around their edges.

Five lakes influence play across seven holes. Carefully positioned bunkers require golfers to consider their target and preferred approach before playing from the tee.

The opening nine place greater importance on approach shots and short-game accuracy. From the 12th hole onwards, driving becomes more influential as golfers work to find the correct areas of the fairways.

Course Highlights

Club De Golf Bonalba changes character between its two nine-hole sections. The front nine rewards control around the greens, while the closing holes place greater emphasis on distance and accurate driving.

Wide fairways provide space from the tee, although lakes, bunkers and large greens introduce several strategic decisions. The varied layout requires golfers to use a broad selection of clubs during the round.

Views towards the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains add to the course’s Costa Blanca setting.

Practice Facilities

Club De Golf Bonalba has a 150-metre practice range with 15 hitting bays. The range supports beginners, coaching sessions and pre-round warm-ups.

Drivers, fairway woods and hybrids are prohibited because of the range’s limited length.

Further practice facilities include two putting greens, an approach area and a practice bunker.

The club’s golf school provides children’s coaching, adult tuition and private lessons. Coaching is available in Spanish and English.

Clubhouse & Facilities

Club De Golf Bonalba has an on-site restaurant overlooking the course. The restaurant serves local and international dishes, including traditional Costa Blanca rice dishes.

The pro shop stocks golf balls, clubs, bags, footwear, clothing and accessories from established golf brands.

Further facilities include meeting-room hire and a tropical outdoor pool, which operates during the summer season.

Hotel Bonalba Alicante stands approximately 200 metres from the first tee. The hotel provides accommodation, restaurants, bars, parking and separate wellness facilities for guests staying within the resort.
