Villanueva Golf & Croquet

Villanueva Golf & Croquet in Puerto Real brings a touch of links golf to the Bay of Cádiz. Designed by Aymerich and opened in 2006, the 18-hole, par 71 course features wide fairways dotted with pot bunkers, links-style hazards that add just the right amount of difficulty.

It is a course that appeals to both experienced players and beginners. The wide fairways make it enjoyable off the tee, while the pot bunkers keep scoring honest. It is a fun, attractive round that can be played all year round in the mild climate of the Costa de la Luz.

Villanueva also has a croquet lawn for lovers of the sport, an unusual extra for a golf club.

The club is about 15 minutes from the main towns around the Bay of Cádiz, making it an easy addition to any golf trip in the province. Facilities include a driving range, putting green and approach area, lessons and clinics, club and buggy hire, a restaurant, pro shop and changing rooms. Average green fee: €45.
