Gaston Golf

Gaston Golf is not a traditional golf club with its own specific grounds and golf course, but rather a very popular golf society (formerly known as the Moby Dick Society) aimed at Swedish and Scandinavian golfers in Spain. The base for the network is located in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca, a region that has long been a Mecca for Swedes who want to enjoy golf all year round.

Gaston Golf combines sport with a strong social focus. The club regularly organizes golf competitions – usually every Sunday – where players can register individually or in teams. It is a perfect mix of competitive spirit and relaxed party games (often called "party competitions"). Since the competitions are formally tied to the Swedish system, players can book in and register their rounds directly via Min Golf by searching for Gaston Golf.

The hub of social life is the Gaston Restaurant, located on Avenida de la Mancha in Torrevieja. This is where players usually gather after rounds to have a bite to eat, hold prize giving ceremonies and analyze the day's birdies. This creates an incredibly strong sense of community for Scandinavians in the area.

A tour of the best of Costa Blanca

As Gaston Golf is a club, "their courses" are a carefully selected string of high-quality golf courses in the Torrevieja, Alicante and Murcia areas, rather than a single facility. This gives players a huge variety of course layouts. Here are some of the most popular courses the club plays on:

Roda Golf

A highly regarded parkland course in the Murcia region, Roda Golf is renowned for its beautiful design, strategically placed water hazards and undulating greens. It offers a fair but fun challenge for both low and high handicappers, and its well-maintained setting makes it a perennial favourite on the competition calendar.

Mar Menor Golf

This facility offers an exciting mix of parkland and sand courses. Mar Menor was partly designed by the Jack Nicklaus team and offers relatively generous fairways, but places high demands on the approach to the green. The course is lined with beautiful palm trees, challenging lakes and bunkers that require tactical finesse.

Desert and Nicklaus courses (e.g. El Valle & La Torre)

The club also benefits from the rich selection of famous courses in the region, such as those included in the larger GNK and Ugolf networks. El Valle offers a spectacular desert feel with lots of sand and rugged rock formations framing the holes. La Torre, in turn, stands out with large, strategic bunkers and tricky greens that force the player to think before every shot.

Why choose Gaston Golf?

For the Swedish golfer living in or visiting Spain, Gaston Golf is an unbeatable shortcut to an active golf life. Instead of being locked into a single course, you get:

* Variety: The chance to play at several of the absolute best facilities in south-east Spain. * Structure: Well-arranged competitions that are professionally managed and can be easily booked from home via the usual My Golf system. * Community: A fantastic network of like-minded people who are happy to share a dinner and a good laugh at the Gaston Restaurant after 18 holes played.

In short, Gaston Golf is more than just golf – it is a lifestyle and a social hub for Swedish golf enthusiasts in Spain. Whether the battle is fought in lush Roda or challenging El Valle, community is always at the heart of it.
