Yet again the Costa Blanca region has been battered by the storms and for a change the majority weren’t too badly affected and were perhaps closed for one day or took bunkers out of play and made golfers using buggies stick to the buggy paths.
Here is a general update for all courses in the local area:
Campoamor
With effect from the 24th January 2020 all 18 greens are now open for play and while still not perfect and needing to compact a little as the top surface is still soft the greens are much better than a few weeks ago.
Saurines
Unfortunately the course has remained closed since the September 2019 storms and there is a plan to open the course in March 2020 and I just hope the recent storms haven’t put those plans back yet again.
La Torre
The course has remained closed since the storms of November 2019 and was scheduled to re-open on the 14th January 2020 but after the latest storms this was put back until the 27th January 2020.
La Marquesa
This course was badly damaged by both the September and November 2019 storms while in the process of re-structuring a number of holes and altering the course layout and has been operating as a 9 hole or 13 holes course since then BUT the full course will be open from the 1st February 2020 but with some provisional greens still in place until the 15th March 2020.
Mosa Trajectum
As previously reported this course has opened again as a 9 hole course and is now owned by the Golf Factory if rumours are to be believed but there is little or no publicity available in respect of the course and prices.
We will keep our readers updated in respect of the local courses in forthcoming articles.
