Alenda Golf | The Perfect Home Investment

Alenda Golf is a beautiful urbanisation of frontline golf villas, townhouses and apartments which are all located around the tranquil area of the Alenda Golf Course.

Alenda Golf has a very modern and stunning clubhouse with covered parking, a fully stocked pro shop, a 25 space covered driving range, putting greens, and par three practice area, a tapas bar restaurant, Olympic style gym with spinning, and a Pilates studio.

In addition, there are two paddle tennis courts and great mountain biking and hiking routes.

If you like biking the local area has routes for all levels of rider. In September 2019 the Vuelta chose to ride through the local area at incredible speed, quite an event. The Vuelta de Espana is expected to pass through Elche on its way to Alicante in August 2022.

There is a large, covered terrace which is perfect for all day dining, the terraces are either surrounded by the spectacular Sierra de las Aguilas Mountains, or the stunning views over the golf course down towards the nearby sea and Alicante.

The local supermarket has everything one could need, including many well-known European brands and specialties.

There is a private bilingual Spanish/English school, the Colegio San Alberto Magno teaching all educational levels from infant, through primary to High School.

The Alenda Golf Course is a superb undulating 18-holes that is superbly maintained all year round and has a separate pitch & putt practice area.

Designed by Roland Favrat and opened in 1999, the course has matured, is well planned, and provides a relatively quick round as all the holes and tees are linked together with short distances between tees.

The first nine holes are medium length, on wide fairways, but still, require accuracy rather than strength. For the backside concentration is needed, on this technical part of the course accuracy is more important than your ability to hit it long.

Take particular care at the tricky 16th and be careful where you drive your ball on the last a feature hole. Many a match has been lost with water down the left, an elevated green that makes everything hit short run down the hill away from the hole.

The course offers a scenic view across the mountains with all fairways being lined by both ancient olive and palm trees.

There are another 4 golf courses nearby, such as the El Plantio Golf Club, Alicante Golf which was designed by Severiano Ballesteros, Bonalba Golf, and the Font del Llop Golf Club, all close to Alenda Golf.

The property at Alenda Golf is located around the course in peaceful areas and close to the mountains which provides beautiful views.

The mountains of Sierra de las Águilas and Sierra del Cid offer a stunning backdrop and allow residents to enjoy the breathtaking views, spectacular biking routes, nature walks across the mountain range, and watching eagles swoop around the mountains.

The Osborne Bull Overlooks Alenda Golf

The Osborne bull (in Spanish: Toro de Osborne) is a 14-meter (46 ft) high black silhouetted image of a bull in semi-profile, and is regarded as the unofficial national symbol of Spain. The bull was created in 1956 by Manolo Prieto.

Nowadays the conservation of the bulls is handled by the family of Félix Tejada.

The Osborne sherry company erected large images of bulls starting in 1956 to advertise their ‘Brandy de Jerez’. The images were black advertising boards located near major roads throughout Spain. The original image was smaller and slightly different in design.

The current larger image was created to comply with a law that prohibited advertising within 150 meters of a road.

In 1994 a law was passed prohibiting all roadside advertising, and the bulls were, therefore, to be removed.

By this time the signs were nationally renowned, so although some campaigners wished them completely removed to fully comply with the intent of the law, public response resulted in the signs being retained, but completely blacked out to remove all reference to the original advertisers.

The Court eventually allowed these signs to remain on the grounds that they have become a part of the landscape and have “aesthetic or cultural significance”, thus turning the bulls into public domain images.

There are 91 Bulls spread around Spain  – there is one overlooking Alenda Golf.

 

The image of the bull is now displayed in stickers, key rings and the like. Also, in sport events where a Spanish team or individual take part, the bull is embedded by supporters in the Flag of Spain in the manner of a coat of arms.
