The
El Plantio Golf Club is the only one in the region of Valencia that
has two golf courses, the first is the excellent 18 holes, and the second
is a very pretty little 9-hole course.
The Abundant vegetation is a major feature of this well-designed golf course where the outstanding quality of the greens and fairways are perfectly noticeable. The rounds are well adapted to player's possibilities and all levels are catered for, making El Plantio the ideal destination for the whole family.
The
18-hole section was designed by Manual Ferry and opened in the year
2000, benefiting greatly from the luxury landscape. El Plantio Golf
Course is located on a plot of land with no buildings around it, perfectly
integrated into its natural scenery, guaranteeing absolute peace and
quiet for a good game of golf peppered with challenges and entertainment.
The fairways are broad and comfortable, however the slopes along the 2nd, 12th and 13th holes are the only complications on a course that generally has flat or only slightly undulating fairways. Only the abundant vegetation can make things difficult for drives leading up to the approach to the greens.
The
size of the greens, just like the fairways and the tee-offs, is normally
ample. Both the design and their upkeep are outstanding. The undulations
of this golf course give any player an entertaining round.
It is surprising for such a long golf course to have such a little amount of bunkers, however they are so strategically placed that they are decisive in practicing each green, but not too deep so as to make a mistake recoverable. There are also two large lakes that complicate matters and increase the sensation of enjoying a fine game in the midst of nature.
The length of El Plantio Golf Course requires players to use their complete range of strokes and successfully combine both strength and precision. The breadth of the fairways favours strength, but the difficulties closer to the flag oblige players to use good strategic and control skills.
