This superb course is currently rated number 5 in Europe and second only to Valderrama in Spain.

Designed by Javier Arana in 1968 the course has retained its original layout despite recent improvements in golf technology
Twelve holes of the course meander through pine groves, and then six holes are laid out links style through the dunes, along the coastline with punishing rough. A truly excellent course.

It's main natural hazard is the sandy soil that on a number of occasions during the round shows on the borders of the fairways, becoming one of the player's worst enemies.

Without doubt, a highly challenging but hugely enjoyable golf course. El Saler was the venue for the 2001 Spanish Open.
