Venue of 2022-2027 European Tour Q-School
Originally opened in March 2007 as Costa Esuri West and now re-opened in Spring 2020, Isla Canela Links is a superb riverside parkland course but with a real links golf feel. The prevailing wind off the Guadiana river brings added challenge to the layout but the fairways are wide and fair.
Don’t be put off by the fact that the Isla Canela Links is situated in a large residential development. The housing only borders the course down one side and does not cut in to any of the fairways. This gives a round at Isla Canela Links a real wide open feel and demonstrates the designer’s (Aymerich Golf) understanding of what is required to merge a great golf course with much needed infrastructure.
During your round at Isla Canela Links you will spend most of your time looking out to the magnificent River Guadiana which forms the border between Spain and Portugal. Those with eagle eyes will spot the Seve Ballesteros course at Quinta do Vale Golf Club over the water in Portugal. This is also well worth a play.
When you finish your round at Isla Canela Links, you can relax and unwind in the clubhouse which has a large bar area and a sun terrace overlooking the river and substantial practice area. The food is excellent in the clubhouse, especially the breakfast, so arrive early if you are playing in the morning!
