El Saler
Campo de Golf El Saler: Although frequently ranked in the highest echelons of continental European courses, the excellence of Javier Arana's layout has constantly been undermined by poor maintenance standards. Visitors intent on enjoying a high-end golf experience at El Saler, have too often come away disappointed with the quality of El Saler's presentation and indifferent service from its staff.
Essentially this is an open links, albeit with the first four holes and some later ones feeling more woodland in nature. Maintenance standards aside, every hole is something rather special, requiring a careful strategy to keep the ball in play and out of the penalising rough.
There's no water to worry about, but the copious bunkering is well placed and often deep enough to require your A-game to escape the sand. While the layout will continually test your shot-making skills, from time to time the Mediterranean Sea views offer a calming respite from the golfing challenges.
