The course is known for its narrow fairways and greens. Accurate hitting and precision are required when hitting the ball to maintain your handicap.There are only four holes where water does not feature, and the course has some memorable holes.

"Best bit. The challenge of propelling your ball over a series of gorges and ravines. The first - a 341-metre sharp dogleg right of a par four- sets the tone. You can either gamble and drive over a rocky hillock or play safe by taking an iron , aiming for an area straight ahead but leaving a lengthy second shot. Decisions, decisions... and Las Ramblas is full of them." Today's Golfer magazine, January 2001.

"Las Ramblas, the incredible water hazards - the ramblas - which make this ( golf ) course different from others in the area" FORE! magazine (Jan 2000 issue)

Villamartin: Located on the Orihuela Costa and is probably one of the best known courses in the area. The course is not too long and is well adapted to the natural surroundings and terrain. Being located in the lowest part of the valley mean it is not very undulating. There is plenty of Mediterranean vegetation as well as thick woods and there's a natural precipice you need to avoid. A number of holes have water hazards. The excellent design offers wide variety giving enthusiasts the chance to use all 14 clubs.

Campoamor: Designed by Carmelo Gracia Caselles and opened in 1989 the layout of this course is suited to both the professional player and the amateur. The fairways are wide and long but the greens and the slope of the fairways can be big challenges. Fairway shots can be very difficult as some greens are on high ground following the natural contours of the terrain, protected by bunkers and exposed to the wind. Campoamor is a course for very big hitters having the longest par 3 of any course in the area. The Clubhouse has excellent facilities and the Pro Shop is very large offering a wide variety of clothing and equipment.There is also a practice driving range and 2 Putting greens. The course is located close to Las Ramblas. In fact the entrances to each of the clubs are within 200 metres of one another.Despite their proximity they are very different courses.

La Finca: Designed by Carmelo Gracia Caselles and opened in 1989 the layout of this course is suited to both the professional player and the amateur.
