When you think of golf, you probably imagine the great courses of the Andalusian coast or the numerous venues in Costa Brava, but beware, because Costa Azahar holds many secrets among its furrows, and among them is Golf Costa Azahar, a golf course that’s not to be missed and that any golfer should know.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced player or a beginner looking to improve your swing; here you’ll find a course designed for you to enjoy every shot. And if you add that the prices are more accessible than in other tourist areas… what more could you ask for?
This Is the Best Golf Club in Costa Azahar
If there’s a place where golf is played and enjoyed in this Mediterranean area, it’s the Club de Golf Costa de Azahar, a course with history, charm, and an unbeatable location. It’s in Castellón and serves as a reference point for golfers from all over the Valencian Community and also from other parts of Spain.
And to add to the joy, here at the Club de Golf Costa de Azahar, the sun shines more than 300 days a year, the Mediterranean breeze cools just enough so you’re not overwhelmed by cold or heat, and the courses are surrounded by palm trees, orange trees, and have spectacular views of the sea. In short, the perfect combo for you to enjoy golf with a 2-for-1 of sport and nature.
The Costa Azahar Golf Course Has Everything and More
This course consists of 9 holes, surrounded by Mediterranean pines, and is a challenge for any golfer.
At first, you might think… only 9 holes!? But don’t be fooled, because it’s a demanding course that combines narrow fairways with greens that require your best technique on every shot. Plus, you can up the level and face an even greater challenge, as you can play 18 holes by going around the course twice with different tee positions.
If you prefer to perfect your technique before heading out to the course, the club has a practice area, putting green and bunker for training.
And that’s not all. The venue has top facilities to complete your experience: tennis courts, a gym —although only for members—, a social lounge to relax after the game, and direct access to the Golf Hotel to enjoy all its amenities.
Fancy eating something delicious? The Golf Costa Azahar restaurant, La Birrería Golf, will welcome you with open arms to celebrate or console yourself over the result of the game.

Tips for Playing Golf in Costa Azahar
Playing golf here is an incredible experience, but to make the most of it, here are some tips that are always helpful.
Take Advantage of the Climate
In the Costa Azahar, the climate is mild all year round; that’s what we said before. But, of course, you should keep in mind that there are summer days when heat waves hit the Costa Azahar, just as there are occasional rainy days in winter. Therefore, you should check the weather before planning your trip and, in case it’s hot, take advantage of early morning or late afternoon.
Consider the Course Layout
The Costa de Azahar Golf Club has narrow fairways and is surrounded by trees, so precision is key. Playing strategically and not wanting to hit the driver on every hole can save you unnecessary strokes. Here, power alone is not enough; strategy, patience, and control are the keys to avoiding problems and reducing your stroke count.
If you’re one of those who love to hit the driver on every hole, this course will make you rethink that strategy. Often, opting for an iron or a shorter wood can be the best choice to stay in play. The vegetation bordering the fairways is there to remind you that a bad shot can cost you dearly, either with a penalty or a difficult ball to recover. Sounds like a challenge?
Playing smart, evaluating each shot well, and adapting to the course design can be the difference between a good day of golf or a frustrating round.
Lastly, keep in mind that the wind, typical of areas close to the sea, can add an extra factor of difficulty. Before you launch into your swing, pause, analyze the direction and intensity of the wind well, and demonstrate your skill.
Enjoy Tourism Too
It’s not all about golf. Take advantage of the visit to explore Castellón, its beaches, and its incredible gastronomy. We can assure you that a good paella, a Ximo, or some Fideos Rossejat tastes even better after 18 holes.
Oh! And you can’t leave without enjoying all there is to see in Benicàssim, a charming town that’s very close by.
And if you feel like sightseeing around the course, you’re in luck, because within 10 minutes you have spectacular beaches, such as Palmeral Beach, Gurugú Beach, or Grao de Castellón, as well as the Castellón Planetarium or the Auditorium and Congress Palace of Castellón, where many events are held.
Come and enjoy golf and the Costa de Azahar!
One of the best getaways in the Valencian Community is along the Costa de Azahar, and if you’re a golf enthusiast, the Costa Azahar should definitely be on your list of destinations.
Here you not only have spectacular weather and a well-designed course, but also a relaxed atmosphere, incredible views, more competitive prices than in other tourist areas, and facilities that, apart from tournaments or weekends, are hardly ever crowded.
