5 Star Mountains and Oranges
Reviewed March 9, 2017
Visited La Galiana on a Wednesday in early March. As expected after reading the reviews, the course was magnificent! Great mountain views!
The course is definitely worth a visit. First and foremost the location is a great golf course. Not a resort or a tourist attraction like some courses in the area. The clubhouse is rather small and purely functional. However, lockerrooms and a cafe are available.
Our tee time was at 12:30. I would recommend not to tee up any later. Rather, morning tee times are preferrable because the sun will set behind the high mountains and create shadows on many holes.
On our way to the course, we managed to miss the main road in and the navigator showed us a "Monte Carlo" style back road entry with tight turns and narrow roads up the hill. However, the road was blocked and we could only reach the maintenance area. Luckily a friendly greenkeeper hopped on board and lead us to the right place. Therefore, try to find the La Galiana/Golf signs on the main road and follow them. At least Google Maps might lead you in the wrong place if you miss them.
+ Great layout and views
+ Challenging
+ Good value for the money
+ Friendly caddiemaster staff with very good language skills
+ Nice cafe at the clubhouse (however, not a full restaurant)
+ Easy online booking
- Greens where soft and "holed"
- Play was slow (5h even though it was a rather quiet day)
Best I have ever seen or played.

What a golf course! The most stunning layout I have ever seen. Tough but fair and tee positions to challenge all handicaps. Built on the side of mountains it provides spectacular views from the elevated tee positions on the majority of the holes. Will definitely be back. Sadly, pace of play is a big problem and needs to be managed. Eskimo Golf Society - London.

Played this course 3 times and each time was better than the last. Although my scores did not show the excitement I had for this course, I can not recommend enough. The driving range is not the best but hey ho everything else gets 10 out of 10 even the Spanish señorita who works the office.
If you are contemplating should I shouldn't I it's no contest it's a must..

Reviewed September 21, 2013
I have played on this course 4 times now and each time it gives you a little more insight to its magnificent fairways and greens. It is with out doubt the best course that I have ever played and the enjoyment factor is off the scale. It will take your breath away. The greens and fairways are immaculate and the views are stunning. The club house is a bit basic but the beer wine coffee and food is very good and it is clean and run by a very good friendly English speaking staff. I only wish I could give it more than 5 stars. PS there is even a cool box built into the buggy for the odd tinny! Ho Hum I say

A lovely course, one of the best in spain
Reviewed July 2, 2013
Played this last week with a friend. We teed off around 3.30 and pretty much had the course to ourself. The course, which is challenging, but not mean-spirited, runs along one side of a beautiful valley, and is unspoiled by housing developments, with woods and hills all around. It's a bit windy in places, but that is just an extra element of fun. The greens are wonderfully kept: like snooker tables. There is a wide variety of fairways and holes, and one in particular is spectacular, teeing off from a high point. Staff were friendly and helpful. Until now I have played Oliva Nova, about 40 minutes away, but from now on, when in Valencia, this is the course I will be playing.
La Galiana a real treat.

Very challenging and sporty golf course. If you are in good condition it is also possible without a kart. Greens very quickly. The facility could be a little better maintained. If you have an international audience, you would like the staff to have better English skills. E

Great challenging course
Reviewed March 28, 2024
We played the course at the end of March 2024. The course has a very attractive layout which has been skillfully placed in a narrow valley. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. Achieving a good score requires precise play, as the fairways are narrow and the greens are partly protected by water and bunkers. An additional sporting challenge is the altitude you cover when you travel on foot like we do.
From the hotel located on the mountain next door you have a very nice view over the golf course and the mountains. We will be back.

Very hilly and ok
Reviewed December 25, 2023
We played the course in November. The location is very remote. An attempt was also made to build a golf resort here, but this did not succeed. The place was almost empty. Parking lot and clubhouse very nice. The place is quite hilly and a cart is mandatory. Condition ok, but not outstanding. Layout exciting and attractive. If you're in the area you can play once, but you wouldn't have to travel far. Place is ok, but not at number 16 out of the top 100.

Great golf, miserable management.
Reviewed October 15, 2021
The course WOULD be a 5-star top level with no ifs and buts when it comes to location, layout and technical golf standards.
The condition of the space (tee boxes, fairways and greens) was borderline enough at best. but the bunker sand was great. the 19th hole can be saved from a culinary point of view.
The joke of the year, however, was the organization of the course: we played the first 9 holes quickly in the general flow of the game and the hammer came on the 10th hole: between every flight that arrived from the 9th, a new, additional flight was inserted at 10. a NO-GO. i save myself the description of the chaos this caused between 10 and 18. and a ranger who speeds up game delay a bit was of course also nonsense.
When asked in the proshop what that is about, I received a tired, uninterested smile and a shrug of the shoulders... that's just the way it is...
Another note for the very sporty golfers. if you are not in the best mountaineering fitness level, you should take an e-cart at this place. it goes up and down vigorously all the time. and sometimes so steep that even the e-cart sometimes slips down or rewinds.
We actually run every place, but it definitely doesn't work here.

Reviewed October 6, 2021
The layout of the course is great, hilly and sloping, it requires a lot of tactical play, the course is challenging to walk.
Tees were very uneven and a lot of broad-leaved grass overgrown, fairways sometimes many bald spots, so it is difficult to get under the ball. Green actually well and nicely undulating, many golfers don't mend the pitch marks. Game speed is a disaster despite many buggies and we were only released after 5 hours. The restaurant / reception is a better Baucomtainer but the San Miguel Draft was nice and cold.

The most complicated review ever
Reviewed August 29, 2021
The commentary on this course is really complicated, the beauty of the place is indisputable, just as indisputable that today the club house is a container. The conditions of the course are very bad in the second nine, holes 16,17 and 18 are without grass in the fairways and at the limit of playable. fairways so I only found them in a few fields in Africa for obvious reasons and in a few other fields close to bankruptcy.
I hope to be able to play it again in a few years when the crisis is over because despite everything it deserves a visit.
A separate speech for the green fee that given the state of the field, of which no one had mentioned: asking € 60 per player plus buggy, essential, for a total of € 150 in these conditions seems absurd to me, in this season desert springs type fields ask for 2gf + buggy for € 110.
Having said everything I believe that sometimes the heart must prevail over reason and therefore golf takes a back seat and the feeling of serenity that this field can give you prevails.

Reviewed November 8, 2018
At the beginning of November 2018 we played the course twice. The course is in very good condition and it was the right decision to play the course twice. The view from the clubhouse on the square is excellent.
Slopes come into play when you miss the fairway, otherwise the place is very fair. Next to the fairway, the course can be a big challenge.
It is recommended to drive the place and not to run.
Incidentally, the makeshift restaurant serves delicious food and with the view mentioned above, it is difficult to leave.

From "okay to avoid"
Reviewed October 11, 2018
I played the course in mid-September and concluded "Alright until Meiden"
As already written by many, there is no infrastructure; no problem it is about the golf course.
The first problem then was that our start time was simply brought forward because a larger group was promised a gun start. Have I never experienced this before?
Condition of the place:
Holes 1-9 were in good condition, no more and no less. The tees were worked because they were in bad shape. Greens in order.
For the holes 10-18 there is only one word: KATASTROPHE. I have never played worse holes. Of course I complained afterwards to the manager because of the full green fee price. I have even received a written statement from the Headgreenkeeper stating that you are aware of the bad state of affairs. The manager, however, insisted on the full price. Therefore, my advice to avoid the place, because you have no idea what you get and must pay in any case the full price.
Other maybe useful information:
Be sure to take a buggy; not playing handicap higher than 20; you should be used to sloping, because you are never on the whole round; nice views and holes from the layout interesting. (Handicap 4 and already played many places around the world)

Very neat adventure playground for men (and women!) Cute Marshall gives instruction for newcomers. E-cart included and without the green fee you go either. The views of mountains and the plain is great from several holes and one can only hope that the subsequent flight is not angry about any delay. Those who can not play exactly have to go with a corresponding supply of balls on the round. Container clubhouse! Triffts exactly! But Sanitation is perfectly (for the women) in men: high tolerance requirement.
All in all, can only be recommended.

Challenging golf course, without claims
Reviewed July 8, 2015
Motto: Experience a highly challenging golf course, which is to play him no claims.
Since this was the hottest day of the year (40 ° in the shade) we were alone and could leave us much time. We had high expectations by the very positive reviews, and they were fully met. Really great how the paths winding around mountains and valleys. But the view from the tee 10, wow. The 15 is also top, here is well worth the view from the white tea, as one sees only the green.
Club House is a container, but a great view from there. And there gush showers.
Nice introduction to the place from Marshall.
Driving is also straightforward;
From the AP-7 exit 60 on the N-332 towards Valencia - Tavernes. Then follow the CV-50 to km11. There orange sign Golgplatz and Hospital Aguas Vivas. Entrance to the left. It then goes over the mountain from the golf course.

Rarely played such a fantastic place
Reviewed March 27, 2014
For golfers who want to play not only a strategically absolutely interesting place, offer to the super well maintained complex also numerous photo opportunities.
The cart (green fee included) is a "must have". It goes up and down, the tracks are often closely at the tee, the drive on the highly-allusive Fairway lets the ball roll down to loss often on the hillside to the other side.
To summarize: a person who resides in Spain near Valencia, must have played this course.
The clubhouse is not absolutely the highlight, the staff should be more friendly and even a little bit, but the overall impression of this relatively young plant makes up for everything.

It goes up and down, a lot of punches from a hillside.
Course condition was early March without blemish, the greens really fast.
Some spectacular terrace discounts with top views.
Since the fairways are often related, you have to press the thumb even with precise Drives or play tactically. The wind did the rest on our visit.
