Head for Alicante for a bargain holiday

Published:

The four star Husa Alicante hotel is a great place – and base – to stay and play in sunny Spain.

Situated in the heart of Alicante and just a 20 minute drive from the airport, this hotel and neighbouring Alicante GC is perfect for a weekend break with friends or family.

The hotel is right nextdoor to the course (which is very handy) and only a ten minutes walk to the beach. Regular trams take you to the heart of the city for great culture and nightlife. The hotel boasts two decent swimming pools and really is a haven for relaxation in the middle of this highly popular seaside hotspot.

The course itself, a Seve Ballesteros-designed par 72 is well maintained and a strong and interesting challenge, consisting of six par-three holes, six par-four holes and six par-five holes, meaning that no two consecutive holes are played with the same par in any one round.

TG found the back nine the most challenging with the 14th hole the pick of the bunch, being built around a Roman villa dating back to the 1st century.

All in all, it’s perfect for a lads getaway or a short break with the family.

It’s reasonably priced too – with York-based Glencor Golf Holidays three nights at the 4* Husa Alicante in a twin room with breakfast included and 3 rounds of golf with buggies costs £210pp in March or £225 in May.
