Valencia Golf Courses - Parador El Saler

El Bosque features narrow fairways and an abundance of natural vegetation. Two holes especially worth mentioning are the 9th, strongly defended by pine trees, and the very challenging 7th.

Club de Campo del Mediterraneo is Sergio Garcia’s home course and his father Victor is one of the professionals here. The course also hosts Sergio’s own tournament on the European Tour, the Castello Masters - won in 2008 by Sergio himself!

The layout is located in a wide valley among mountains 6km from the Mediterranean coast, and the subtly placed hazards make it tougher than you think on first look, although it is playable for all levels.

The golf course is surrounded by a variety of trees like olive, pine and carob. A few isolated trees call for the golfer’s full repertoire of shots, moving the ball both ways, and small ponds are in play on seven holes. The greens are prepared at US Tour speeds, are high-quality putting surfaces and are tough to read.

The club also has excellent facilities for Tennis, Football and an Indoor Swimming Pool.

El Saler golf course is ranked within the Top 100 courses in the world and within the Top 10 in mainland Europe.

Built in 1968 by the internationally recognized "architect of Spanish golf," Javier Arana, the course is located at the El Saler Nature Reserve, on the shores of the Mediterranean.

The course's design took into account its integration in the protected landscape. The course layout is varied, ranging from the beach links reminiscent of the famous Scottish golf courses, to areas of typical Mediterranean forest.

El Saler Golf 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.
