The 18-hole Costa Ballena course was designed by José María Olazábal and is characterised by spacious tees, some of them up to 100 metres long and 20 wide, and for its suitability for professionals and high handicappers alike. Water is a major feature. There are four lakes and the green at the par-three 16th is virtually an island.
The course, which opened in 1997, is set amid a residential and touristic development of the same name, a 400-hectare estate in all, two thirds of the course being in Rota and the rest in the neighbouring municipality of Chipiona. Costa Ballena also offers a nine-hole short course and the developer of this ambitious resort, the Empresa Pública del Suelo de Andalucía (EPSA), plants to invest a further million euros in the area.
