About Us
Unlike some other golf societies we have no home base, preferring instead to play as many courses as we can. Towards the South of our part of the Costa we play El Plantio, Alicante, Font del Llop, and Alenda. Heading North, we play El Bosque and El Saler. In between, we try our luck at Bonalba, Benidorm, La Sella, and Oliva Nova.
We generally play twice a month, with a summer break during July and August. We also have teams in the Summer and Winter Costa Blanca Leagues. These give members the chance of another competitive game each month, and to represent our Society.

Competitions
We generally play a stableford competition twice a month and, to give everyone a chance, we have two divisions based on handicap at the start of the year. There are prizes for 1st and 2nd in each division, with a little extra for the overall winner. To mix things up, we organise a number of team and pairs events. For fun, we have Nearest the Pins, and we also have a Lost Ball Sweep.
​We also have a team in the Costa Blanca League. This gives our Members the chance to play a competitive game against another Society.
​
Annually, we have a match play knock out competition, competitions for the Captain's and President's Trophies, and Player of the Year awards, based on a points earned format from their best 10 qualifying rounds of the season.
​​
Handicaps
Although the emphasis is on enjoyment, all our competitions are played in accordance with the R&A Rules, and under the Real Federación Española de Golf (RFEG) WHS Handicap System. To calculate and administer our handicaps we use GolfDirecto, a leader in golf administration in Spain.
​​
Licence to Play
​​We expect Members to obtain the appropriate Federated Licence valid in Spain. This licence grants permission to play on all the Courses on our schedule and includes the liability and accident insurance required by Royal Decree 849/1993.
