Golf Costa de Azahar

Golf Costa de Azahar brings together a nine-hole course, a golf academy and racket sports close to the beach at Grao de Castellón. It is in Castellón de la Plana, in the province of Castellón, part of the Valencian Community. For a visitor looking to include golf in a coastal stay, the setting is a useful starting point: the course is surrounded by pines, with the beach very nearby.

The club describes itself as one of the oldest golf courses in the Mediterranean area. Its sporting life extends beyond the course, with padel, tennis courts, classes and summer courses also forming part of the offer.

The course and its setting

Designed by Ángel Pérez de Leza, Campo de Golf Costa de Azahar has nine holes. Pines frame the course, while its proximity to Grao de Castellón beach gives the location a clear coastal character.

The combination of golf and beach is central to understanding where the club sits. Rather than viewing it only as a place to play, visitors can consider it alongside time by the sea in the Grao area. The nine-hole format is also reflected in the club's senior competition programme.

Learning and other sports

The golf academy is one of the club's facilities. Classes and summer courses are also offered, adding a teaching element to the sporting programme alongside play on the course.

For those interested in other activities, the club has padel and tennis courts. These complement the golf rather than replace it: the course, teaching and racket sports together make up the club's wider offer. That range is worth noting when considering what the club provides beyond a round.

Club competitions

The senior league consists of nine events, with both individual and pairs tournaments played over nine holes. It gives the shorter format a defined role in the club's social golf calendar.

A separate example is the 2024 Social League, which comprised nine tournaments and was open to all participants. These competition details add another dimension to the club's identity, alongside its pine-lined course and beachside location. For travelling golfers, they provide a picture of a club with teaching, other sports and an established social competition programme.
