Location & Character
Located right at the La Cala Resort clubhouse, the course leads through a hilly landscape with repeatedly impressive views towards the sea. The surroundings are quiet, expansive and shaped by nature and elevation changes.
Course Overview
The Asia Course is one of three courses at La Cala Resort and is known as tactically demanding with plenty of movement in the terrain.
Hardly any hole runs straight — uphill, downhill and lateral lies define the play.
Multiple tee options cater to different playing levels.
Playing Experience
The course demands precise and forward-thinking golf.
Blind shots, undulating fairways and constantly changing ball lies make every hole a new challenge.
The greens are fast and heavily undulating — anyone who doesn't play cleanly here quickly loses strokes.
A highlight is hole 10 — a par 5 right at the clubhouse with views across the entire course.
Course Maintenance & Condition
The maintenance standard is very good.
Fairways are consistently green and well-maintained, greens are fast and reliable.
Typical for the region, peripheral areas can dry out during drought, though this doesn't affect play.
Practice Facilities & Infrastructure
The organisation at the resort is at a very high level:
Every player receives a cart (standard)

The only downside:
The driving range is only accessible by shuttle or car.
However, good short game and putting areas are available at the clubhouse.

The entire resort is professionally run, with friendly service and high quality in hotel, dining and operations.
