Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort is situated on the front sea line of the
Mediterranean coast, among exclusive and privileged surroundings: Hotel,
golf course, professional football pitches, tennis and paddle courts,
swimming pools, terraces with garden, Health and Beauty Center,
restaurants, banquet rooms.
The urbanization's superb location is right on the beachfront of the
Mediterranean Sea, between the towns of Denia and Oliva. The Club de
Golf Oliva Nova 18-hole course was designed by the Spanish Golfing
legend Severiano Ballesteros and is widely considered his best design to
date.
The Costa Blanca region averages 300 sunny days per year with water
temperatures of 24° in the height of summer, falling to 18° in November.
The region is reputed for glorious sunshine throughout the year.
From the resort it is less than a 50 metre walk to the beach. The white
sandy beaches are virtually endless, stretch from Denia to Valencia and
even in the busiest months you are guaranteed your position and privacy.
The crystal clear waters are backed by protected dunes and all the
beaches have been awarded with the E.U. blue flag certification.
The resort contains a number of full size synthetic grass courts along
with some practice / paddle courts. All the necessary equipment can be
rented for a nominal fee.
To the uninitiated, a golf course may well seem like little more than an
enormous green field, with dollops of sand around the greens, maybe some
water hazards and a fair proportion of trees scattered around the
place.To a golfer, a great course is packed with difficulties to trap
the unwary, but forgiving enough to allow the brave and thinking player
to master all its intricacies. Such is Oliva Nova Golf on the Costa
Blanca.It’s a links course, set right beside the Medietrranean, 6,270
metres in length off the white tees and a par of 72 (SSS 73), designed
by Severiano Ballesteros, who has turned out to be as good at designing
courses as he was at taming them in his heyday. The club also has a
comprehensive driving range, pitch and putt area and a practice putting
green.Wind and water are the keywords at Oliva Nova, where 15 of the 18
holes have water features running alongside them, around them or across
them, or a combination of all. In Seve’s own words.” Oliva Nova Golf has
been designed to host the most prestigious international tournaments on
the European circuit, yet it is a fair course, whether you are
professional or amateur.”
It’s a massive course in every sense of the word, with some greens as
large as 750 square metres and long drives off the tee.The clubhouse is
just as impressive as the actual course. It’s a 3,000 square metre
building, overlooking the tees of holes 1,8 and 10 and the greens of
holes 7,9 and 18. On the ground floor are pro shop, changing rooms, club
store and buggy parking. On the first floor, there’s a cafeteria,
restaurant and lounge area all, naturally, with large terraces.But Oliva
Nova is much more than just a golf course. The Beach and Golf Hotel
comprises 237 rooms, with direct access to the beach and just 150m. from
the first tee, and all the facilities that one would expect from a
luxury, four-star hotel. If the hotel is not for you, there is a
selection of apartments and villas for rental.In fact, Oliva Nova has
got pretty much everything you could wish for.
Situated close to the resort town of Oliva, this course has top class
golf facilities and was voted the best of all Seve Ballesteros' designed
courses.
Ballesteros, said of this 18-hole, 72 par course "The Oliva Nova Golf
Course offers great variety for all golfers. As it has short, medium and
long holes as well as right and left hand dog leg fairways. A true but
fair test for all golfers alike."
Water plays a part in the difficulty of the course, with a number of
lakes placed as obstacles along its 6,270 metres length. With 15 out of
18 holes effected in this way its not surprising that the Peugeot Oki
Spanish National Championship has been held here on four occasions.
Other facilities on site include a Golf Academy with a team of
multilingual coaches, a driving range with 25 bays, two putting greens,
two chipping areas and also two bunkers. The course is open all year.
