Set between Valencia and Alicante on Spain’s Costa Blanca, Oliva Nova Golf Course offers a flat and open layout close to the Mediterranean. Designed by Seve Ballesteros and opened in 1995, this par-72 course is known for its wide fairways, numerous water hazards and large, receptive greens.

While generally forgiving from the tee, careful positioning is required to avoid lakes and bunkers, particularly on the back nine. The coastal setting means wind can influence play, adding variety throughout the round. For those planning a golf break on the Costa Blanca near Denia, Oliva Nova provides a relaxed and accessible championship test close to the beach.
