The club has a driving range with twenty bays, two putting greens, a chipping area and a practice bunker. There is a nominal charge for golf balls on the driving range.

A handicap certificate must be shown prior to playing; the maximum handicap is set at 28.0 for men and 36.0 for women.

Ifach Golf Club - Moraira

The Ifach Golf Club or 'Club de Golf Ifach' can be found two kilometers away from the bay of Moraira in the province of Alicante, Spain. Forming part of a country estate this charming golf course is set in a beautiful green valley and has a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea and the 'Rock of Ifach' (Peñon de Ifach)

The Ifach is a 9-hole course and plays at 3,406 meters. The course was designed by Javier Arana and although Par for the course is only 60 he designed it with narrow fairways and well placed bunkers. He also made great use of the natural terrain and obstacles in the layout so if you love an exciting game, you will find the course to be quite deceptive. Although the course is designed to be short, it is tricky and technically challenging due to the narrow fairways and undulating terrain, accuracy and a good short game are your main allies here.

A current handicap certificate must be shown prior to playing, where the maximum handicap is set to be 26.0 for men and 36.0 for women.

The club also has a putting green and offers private lessons in English or Spanish. Three tennis courts are also available to be enjoyed by members and visitors.

The Ifach Gold Club is open all-year round from 7:30AM-8PM.
