Alborán Golf

For golfers travelling to Almería, Alborán Golf brings together a coastal setting, an 18-hole course and dedicated practice facilities. The club is in the municipality of Almería, beside the beach and facing Cabo de Gata Natural Park. Almería International Airport and the city centre are both a short distance away, making its location a useful starting point when planning a golf visit.

The setting is only part of the story. Alborán Golf was an official venue for the Almería 2005 Mediterranean Games, and the course was designed for high-level competition. That sporting background gives visitors another reason to get to know the course beyond its proximity to the sea.

The course

The 18-hole layout plays to par 72 and includes 66 bunkers and two lakes. Sand and water are therefore important elements to consider when planning a round, alongside the course's competitive purpose. These are the defining features to keep in mind when deciding how Alborán Golf fits into a golfing trip to Almería.

Its role in the 2005 Mediterranean Games provides a clear point of reference for the club's sporting history. For a visiting golfer, the appeal lies in that combination: a course designed for high-level events, with the beach alongside and the natural park opposite.

Practice and tuition

The practice area measures 300 by 150 metres. There is also a putting green and an approach area, allowing practice to extend beyond longer shots. Visitors can devote time to putting and approach play as well as using the main practice ground.

A golf academy is another of the club's services. Together, the academy and practice facilities give learning and training their own place within the club, complementing the 18-hole course. They are worth factoring into a visit that includes time to work on the game as well as play a round.

A coastal base near the city

Alborán Golf's position links three aspects of a visit to Almería: golf, the coast and the city. The beach is beside the course, while Cabo de Gata Natural Park faces it. With both the international airport and central Almería nearby, golfers can combine time at the club with a stay in the city, keeping practice and play within the same coastal setting.
