Ibiza, the golfing paradise
The island of Ibiza, with a great diversity of atmospheres, has always welcomed all kinds of tastes and hobbies.
From azuLinehotels we propose a change of scenery and a more natural and unique view of this beautiful island: Ibiza as seen by way of the golf courses. One of the alternative scenarios to the party and the nightlife of Ibiza, is to play golf and enjoy its countryside. In Ibiza, golf is for everyone, a place far beyond the condition of a Club for golf, because the facilities are open to anyone who wants to enjoy them.
El golf
Do you know what golf is? Golf is a sport practiced and known worldwide, which consists of introducing golf balls into the hole of each green on the course, in the least possible number of strokes. A sport that is increasingly practiced in all places and social areas, where you are always in touch with nature and your ability to concentrate increases substantially. With golf you are practicing a sport while breathing fresh air and discovering new and amazing landscapes.
In golf there can be up to 18 holes, each with its own amazing course (fairway), which can be par 3, par 4 or par 5, depending on its length. When starting the game, the golfer uses a small support called a ‘tee’, which is pushed into the ground, placing the ball on top. The player uses the tee for the first stroke of each hole.
You should know that the each stroke of the ball that the player makes to arrive at the green and corresponding hole is called the “approach”. A strokes that is flush with the grass, usually made on the Green or around the hole, is called a “putt”. Golf has a very technical language, however, learning each one of its terms is a great adventure, since you learn as you play, which makes it something that you will never forget.

Golf Ibiza has two courses, 18-hole and 9-hole, with very different characteristics, located in an area of valleys and mountains bordering the coastline. There is also the Hoyo 19 Restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant where you can enjoy beautiful views and exquisite cuisine.
18-Hole Course
The 18-hole golf course, known as “Golf de Ibiza“, is characterized by a very technical course that runs through the countryside, among pine trees and spectacular views.

For example, Hole 7 is located in a spectacular ascent from where you can observe the sea and Hole 14 is characterized by its precious old olive trees, hence the names. The design of this course for the game is incredible and a real challenge for golf lovers in all its modalities. A full round on this course would take about 4 hours.
