Font Del Llop Golf Resort

Font del Llop Golf Resort puts an 18-hole, par-72 course within ten minutes of Alicante Airport. Located in Monforte del Cid, in the province of Alicante and the Valencian Community, it is also five minutes from Elche. Those short distances are useful reference points when planning a golf visit from abroad.

The setting is as much a part of the resort as its location. Vineyards, almond trees and ancient olive trees surround a course integrated into the landscape, with mountain views. A residential village, accommodation options and a restaurant sit alongside the golf facilities, giving the resort a broader role than the course alone.

The golf course

The layout brings together American-style design and Scottish-style shaping. Described as spacious and demanding, it is intended for golfers of all levels. Visitors can therefore expect a course presented as accessible to a range of abilities, rather than one aimed solely at experienced players, while still retaining a challenging character.

There are 89 bunkers on the course, with a further bunker on the driving range. Bunkering is a notable feature of the layout, alongside the shaping and the surrounding agricultural landscape. The vineyards, almonds and old olive trees give the round its local setting, with the mountains providing a wider backdrop.

Practice and tuition

The freely accessible practice facilities include a driving range, an approach area and a putting area. They provide separate spaces for working on longer shots, approaches and putting, whether practice is the main purpose of the visit or accompanies a round.

The resort also has a golf academy and a pro shop. For travellers interested in learning or spending time on their game, these sit alongside the full course as part of the golf offering.

Beyond the round

Font del Llop Terraza is the resort’s restaurant, with views of the surrounding setting. Together with the restaurant, the resort offers event services and a residential complex, as well as different accommodation options.

That combination allows a visit to focus on more than an 18-hole round: practice, tuition and dining are also part of the resort. For an overseas golfer, the proximity to Alicante Airport and Elche adds a practical reason to consider Font del Llop, while its landscape gives the golf a distinct sense of place.
