Valencia golf Clubs

There always seems to be an answer for everything doesn't there? While the green party will downcast, as estate agents we should be celebrating as will anybody lucky enough to have properties close to where new golf courses which once were just projects could now become reality. Those in our areas which have now been approved on 19.10.06 are – Náquera, Pobla de Vallbona, Lliria, Picassent, El Puig, Burriana, etc.
For yet another slant on the topic Sr. Ramón Dávila, president of Promoter in Andalucía was on 2nd Nov. responding to critics in Almeria on the amount of Golf courses in the south of Spain and their effect on the environment and their excessive use of water on Spain's low water reserves. Sr. Dávila answered that in Andalucía there are 100 Golf clubs which use a total of 250.000 cubic metres of water. This amounts to 0.3% of the water consumed in Andalucía. If the Golf courses were closed its workers would be out of work which would affect the economy much more. He went on to state that golf is not only a sport, but that it is also a serious tourist attraction for mainly British golfers followed by Scandinavians from between October to April which is when their own climate changes. This means that hotels can stay open for the winter period which in turn means yearly contracts for employees instead of seasonal ones. The obvious knock on effects of more business for the surrounding areas were also pointed out by Sr. Dávila, as well as, the fact that golf tourists also stay longer than the average tourist, spend more, and of course golf courses do not have to be near the sea taking up valuable coastal land.
So there you have it – those with properties or land near the new golf courses can start counting their profits as the prices start going up!
