Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort benefits from an amazing location right on the Mediterranean shores, affording spectacular views down the coastline towards the Rock of Gibraltar. The resort boasts two outstanding championship courses, of which Alcaidesa Links has the unique reputation of being the only true links layout in Southern Europe; but instead of driving rain and wind you can be bathed in the Andalucian sunshine!
The topography of the land at Alcaidesa is formed by gentle slopes descending towards the sea, finishing on a beautiful beach, creating a front of nearly 2 km parallel to the beach. The difficulty of the course lies mainly in the condition of the prevailing winds in the area apart from the gorse bushes and heather hazards. One of the special features of the course which most impresses visitors, is its spectacular view over the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Africa.
