Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela is 5900m in length (5800m from yellow) and a moderately challenging layout due it use of the natural terrain. The course designer was awarded a special prize for its architecture and use of the natural cliffs, gullies, undulations and trees throughout the landscape.

There are many breathtaking views and interesting holes, notably from the 3rd to 9th. The tees often start high on the hilside and cross gullies and creeks on their way to the fast and true greens.  Playing the course requires reasonable accuracy off the tee to avoid the natural hazards but not long driving. Good iron play is rewarded. Course condition is normally excellent.

To add to the enjoyment, the course is home to many red squirrels, which are seen all over the course.  

Costa Blanca and the area Orihulea Costa lies south of Alicante - the main airport for the area. From Alicante to Las Ramblas takes about 45 minutes by car on the AP7, passing Torrevieja on the way. There is also Murcia airport even closer at 25 minutes drive south of Las Ramblas in the province of Murcia and the Costa Calida. 

Las Ramblas golf lies within the Dehesa de Campoamor - Villamartin area.  Villamartin's famous plaza provides a wide mix of bars, cafés and restaurants to suit all tastes.

The residential development on Las Ramblas is high class with luxurious apartments, villas and houses all built to a high quality standard by Quara, still operating without the financial troubles suffered by most developers in Spain. The estate is considered the best in the area as it is located within the golf course and so separated from the other more populous areas of Campoamor - Villamartin.
