**Discover how the golf course at Las Colinas enhances your lifestyle, even if you don’t play.**

Let me share something from my daily life. I often get to showcase the benefits of owning a second home under the Spanish sun, especially here at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club.

One question comes up often: *“Isn’t this just a place for serious golfers?”*

![The first green on the championship course at sunrise](https://lascolinas.no/hubfs/lcn/blog/golf-first-green-sunrise.jpg)

> “Isn’t this just a place for serious golfers?”
> 
> The first green at sunrise

The answer may surprise you, roughly half of the owners here don’t play golf. So what draws them here? And what does a top-ranked course mean for them?

![View across the course and the homes on the hillside](https://lascolinas.no/hubfs/lcn/blog/golf-hillside-course-view.jpg)

The course and the homes on the hillside

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is highly rated: Top 100 Golf Courses ranks it **second in south-east Spain** and 17th in Spain (2026). This standard delivers real value for all residents, whether they play or not:

**1. A world-class course right on your doorstep**  
Recognised by the [World Golf Awards](https://www.worldgolfawards.com/) and [Top 100 Golf Courses](https://www.top100golfcourses.com/), the course acts like an extended private garden.

Meticulously maintained green spaces create a calm, lush, and exclusive setting for daily life.

**2. Broader market appeal, also for non-golfers**  
Should you ever sell, proximity to a top-ranked course remains a strong asset. The estate’s prestige and well-kept environment attract buyers looking for more than just a home, they seek lifestyle.

**3. A well-kept, sought-after setting**  
Homes in well-kept communities with standout amenities can hold their value well, though no one can promise how prices move. Continuous international recognition is part of what buyers look for.

**4. And yes, a golfer’s paradise**  
If you do love the game, living here is a dream come true. A championship course with global accolades is yours to enjoy, whenever you like.

In short:

Owning a home at Las Colinas is about lifestyle, nature, and security, not just golf.

The course elevates the entire community and brings added value and beauty to your doorstep.

**What matters most to you in a place like Las Colinas, whether you play golf or not?** I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Warm regards form Las Colinas!
