La Sella is surrounded by magnificent Mediterranean woodland, including pine trees and orange groves, and the rolling hills of the bordering Montgo Nature Park provided great scenery during the round.
It is evident that Ryder Cup legend and two time Masters winner, Jose Maria Olazabal, has left his prints on this layout. Players will need to rely on a strong imagination and superb recovery skills if they get out of position on some holes but as long as you locate the lush fairways a good round is attainable.
Our irrigation systems use recycled waste water and organic products are employed in the maintenance of the golf course. We distinguish our three 9 holes courses by three different colors and local winds:
Llebeig.
The first 9 holes are oriented towards the South. In valencian language, this name is the warm wind from the Sahara, which causes tropical and dry air masses. These holes, running between huge masses of pine are characterized by its scenic beauty with spectacular views of the natural park of Montgó. Technically difficult this is a varied course where the player will have to use almost all clubs.
Gregal.
The second 9 holes lead eastwards and owes its name to ancient times where this wind was used by ships to go to Greece. Located in a more flat land, this course adds more presence of water to the game and with the last holes of the golf course designed to be decisive for the score.
Mestral.
Coming from the North, this cold wind, feared by farmers, allocates the new 9 holes. Three pairs 3, 4 and 5, situated in a higher area than most other holes of the course, these holes offer a spectacular view on the sea, the Segaria mountain and the natural park of Montgó. With wider fairways and large Greens, this course is designed to enjoy golf in full nature.
The Swingbuild Center at La Sella Golf Resort is the first Continental Europe Swingbuild Golf learning Center. Our coaching philosophy is not the traditional ‘faults and fixes’ approach to golf instruction, but is built on the explanation of the one correct golf swing, which we believe everyone can understand and learn.
