A must for golf lovers thanks to the 18-hole golf course, the Hotel is
seen as one of the best in the world. The large comfortable rooms - some
with sea views - are an invite to relaxation. Located on the coast,
there is also a fantastic SPA to relax, an outdoor pool and a grass
football pitch.
The Parador de El Saler (Valencia) Golf course is considered by
professionals, amateurs, institutions and the specialized press alike to
have one of the best course layouts in the world.
Built in 1968 by the internationally recognized "architect of Spanish
golf," Javier Arana, the course is located in the El Saler Nature
Reserve, on the shores of the Mediterranean sea in the Autonomous
Community of Valencia. This Community is a leader with respect to
economic development in Spain, and considers this course a source of
pride.
The course's design took into account its integration in the protected
landscape (with native plants such as the famous pale stonecrop plant,
locally called "cat's claw"). The course layout is varied, ranging from
the beach links reminiscent of the famous Scottish golf courses, to
areas of typical Mediterranean forest. The par-72 course measures 6468
m, spread out over 18 holes.
The club also offers a golf school; driving range; putting greens; 2
approach greens; a pro-shop; rental of clubs, hand carts and electric
golf carts; and a restaurant and snack bar.
The Parador de El Saler (Valencia) golf course is considered one of the
60 best in the world and one of the 3 best in Europe - a view which is
vouched for in testimonies from both professional and amateur players,
institutions and the specialized press.
The European PGA has chosen the El Saler course as the site of several
of its qualifying tournaments for the professional PGA European Tour, a
clear recognition of the quality demanded by the highest level of
professional golf. .
The Parador de El Saler (Valencia) golf course successfully passed
previous inspections by the PGA-USA and PGA-Europe, carried out for the
pre-selection of golf courses at which to hold the prestigious Ryder
Cup, which, for the first time, was held away from its traditional sites
in the United States and Great Britain.
The Royal Golf Federation of Spain has, over the years, selected the El
Saler course to hold tournaments for both Spanish professionals and
amateurs under its auspices.

CLUB DE GOLF MANISES

The Manises Golf Club is the oldest of the Valencian clubs. It is a
9-hole course, whose flat layout requires precision and constancy
because the fairways are narrow and flanked by dense trees, and the
greens are small and surrounded by numerous bunkers, with limited room
to manoeuvre on the approach and a lot of rough.
The important thing to remember all the way around is not to lose sight
of the straight line. You also have to bear in mind the difficulty which
exists when coming off the fairways.
The 7th hole, a very long par-4, is especially worth mentioning as is
the fairway of the 3rd, where the second shot – if you manage to clear a
group of tall pine trees – can reach the green and allow you to go for a
well-deserved birdie.
Basically, it is a very comfortable and simple course which will be
enjoyed by elderly people, beginners and children.

The location of the course at the foot of a mountain is without a doubt
the spot in which Robert Trent Jones Snr. was inspired in terms of the
design of the course. Surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, the
prestigious designer took advantage of the location in order to add
beauty and movement to the 18 freeways of the course.
He also managed to combine perfectly the sloping freeways with water
obstacles and 90 sand traps. The bunkers are strategically positioned at
the end of the freeway and surrounding the entrance of each green. The
greens are extremely fast and demanding and are on ground level.
For this reason the "El Bosque" club, with a par 72 and 6249 metres of
longitude, is considered an ideal course for hosting high level
competitions. The course is a technical journey where the choice of the
correct club is fundamental if we wish the end result to be a success.
18 Holes, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.
Open all year, weekends members only.
Fees; €85 18 holes
Services include;
2 level driving range, 2 putting greens, chipping areas & practice
