Las Colinas › The golf course at Las Colinas

The golf course

The course is the reason the resort exists, and it is the reason the property here has held its value better than the coastal average. It was designed by Cabell B. Robinson, who spent much of his career with Robert Trent Jones before going out on his own, and it has been rated among Spain's leading courses since it opened.

Why it plays the way it does

The land is a valley, and Robinson routed the holes along and across it rather than flattening it into something generic. That gives you real elevation change, holes that are genuinely separated from one another by terrain rather than by a line of trees, and a round that does not repeat itself. It also means the resort could be built at low density: houses sit above and around the play rather than lining every fairway.

From a buyer's point of view this matters more than it sounds. Low density is what stops a resort feeling like a housing estate in fifteen years' time. It is also what makes the properties here scarce, because there is a hard limit on how many can ever exist.

Playing it as an owner

Access arrangements are worth understanding properly before you buy, because they are not uniform across the resort and they are not automatically attached to owning a house. Some homes come with an entitlement, others do not, and there are membership options for owners either way. If golf is a significant part of why you are buying, tell us early and we will get you the exact position for each property you are considering rather than a general answer.

If you do not play

Plenty of owners here do not. The course still does something for you: it is the reason there is a green valley outside your window instead of more houses, and it is the reason the resort is maintained to the standard it is.
