La Marina Golf Course

The first time I heard mention of the proposed La Marina Golf Course was about 16 years ago. If I remember correctly there was a certain Barry Jump trying to promote the idea. Then it went quiet with the odd report here and there but without any action. There must be some interesting stories of what happened and why. How about a few of you knowledgeable ones spilling the beans.

Ian,
When we bought our first house it was on the basis that the proposed golf club would be built imminently (that was 23 years ago) and the value of the house would increase considerably. Today we still have the house but still no golf club!

When we bought our first house in La Marina, on Extramadura, we were told the same story. The only money we made was by extending it. The Estate Agents in La Marina (no names mentioned) have used that to sell properties down there for years. I wonder if any of us will be here when the Golf course does come to La Marina - I doubt it.

Eve,
You are an optimistic lady!
Do you believe that one day we will have a golf course?

I heard people are still being told there will be a golf course when viewing villas.

I Wonder if any one actually knows if back in the distant past was there at one time some kind of Planning Permission granted for a La Marina Golf Course?
Although this was way before your time Mark perhaps you can fill in with any information.
Or was it all pure Pie in the Sky?

I can remember about 5/6 years ago there was a lot of excitement on the estate because there was a stretch limo down in the proposed La Marina Golf Course area. The stretch limos occupants were all Japanese and were carrying out some kind of survey. That was the last I heard on this old La Marina Golf Course subject. I suspect that the truth will never be known as to all or any of the ins and outs.

Admin Comments

Those of you who are active on other Local Forums are well used to getting your postings deleted or moved to another section on that forum. We were actually trying to get away from all the Rules & Regulations of what you are allowed to do, or not allowed to do on this Forum. No other forums will allow any business to put their own website links in to promote their own business (unless of course you are paying money out to sponsor the said forum).
We at Admin must however ask you please to behave fairly responsible to each other on this forum and, of course, we do not expect you to agree with each other all of the time - the forum would be very boring if you did. However if we think anybody is speaking out of order we regrettably may have to step in and do some minor editing to certain posts. We would also please ask some of you not to keep swearing !

We agree that some of the postings should be split and are waiting on the IT Dept to inform us if this can be done.

Good to see that we may become a proper forum again,hope you dont overdo the editing,but I must agree last nights fiasco was a step too far.
It would be a good idea that personal insults were kept out of the forum,by the contributors,that way Ian wouldnt have to waste his time editing things out.
But well done Ian,for taking this initiative

The Upstairs Wok

Is it true that the cheapest bottle of wine at The Wok is now 12.00 euros?
Surely that cant be true.


They must be looking hard for new business as they have just finished leafleting most of La Marina.

My god. I bet the administrators are wondering why they ever bothered to set this website up. What happened to people coming on here and sharing opinions & experiences, asking questions, and recommending stuff. Now it´s just all politics, accusations & bad mouthing people.
I think when Mags said goodbye to this forum she might have had the right idea. As someone who has a business here I can only hope that the holiday makers dont ever read all this...........I bet they think its just great here!!
In advance I say sorry for any spelling mistakes and I truely am called Nikki, so hopefully I wont get into any trouble.

While I agree that the immature response from Andi was out of order I don't think it's a matter for the police, this is a forum after all and there is always going to be heated debates, the bad language should be removed but that is Andi's decision to make.

Located on Spain's Costa Blanca, the coastal town of Santa Pola is a busy fishing port and a lively holiday resort. Santa Pola has a large fishing fleet and fishing has always been important for the economy of the town. To the south of the town lay a large area of salt lakes, where the production of salt has taken place since Roman times, between the salt lakes and the sea are miles of wonderful sandy beaches and this is a particularly popular area for kite flying and dozens can be seen on a breezy day.

With a coastline stretching approximately 8km Moraira has a lot to offer its visitors. It has a variety of sandy beaches and rocky coves. A visit to the Playa del Portet is a must. Situated in a small shell shaped inlet the clear blue sea is a superb setting for a peaceful swim. There are shower facilities and restaurants. From here you can climb to the watch tower of Cap dÓr. This circular tower with a perimeter of 26 metres and a height of 11 metre was the main defense for the port of Moraira against the Berber pirate attacks.
At the foot of the 18th century castle in Moraira town is the beach of LÁmplla. It was one of the first in achieving the blue flag distinction for the cleanest shorelines in Europe. With golden sand is the largest beach in the area with an excellent range of facilities for the most discerning beach lover could wish for. Such as games, hammocks, and many bars and restaurants.
Moraira started off as a fishing village and although it has grown in size fishermen still go to sea to catch the produce that will be for sale in the fish market later that same day. It is now one of the most important fish auctions on the Costa Blanca.
There is a traditional general market in the town every Friday where you can pick up a bargain and at the same time soak up the friendly, lively Spanish atmosphere.
There is something different to do everyday of your holiday!!
