3rd edition of the Circuit Interclubs Pairs Trophy in the Costa Blanca

The Interclubs Pairs Trophy, a popular circuit that in its 2nd edition already brought together 1,000 players, will return for a third year this February, according to the Association of Golf Courses of the Costa Blanca and the Valencian Community (ACGCBCV).

Continuing on the success of the prior two seasons, a total of 14 tournaments have been set up around the Costa Blanca for this third edition: 2 tests in Castellón, 5 in Valencia, and 7 in Alicante.

The circuit was created after the pandemic in an effort to encourage players to visit as many golf courses as possible in the entire Costa Blanca. There is no limit on the number of tests that can be played and only the top four scores out of all the tests taken are used to determine the final ranking.

The official poster of the circuit features a schedule of all 14 events, with the February 26 start at the Club de Golf Costa de Azahar highlighted. On March 5, the second tournament will be held at El Saler golf course.

For the third year in a row, all Valencian Community amateur golf records will be broken thanks to the prizes: the top-ranked pairs in each category will win a simultaneous annual subscription to all the courses on the circuit, which is worth over €30,000.

As an added bonus, four more couples in each category will each receive a membership to all participating golf courses for six, three, two, or one month, respectively, depending on the position reached. There will be a total of 20 subscriptions available through this circuit.

Costa Blanca is one of the most beautiful regions in Spain and has some of the best golf courses in the country. Book your golf holidays in Costa Blanca with Tee Times Golf Agency and enjoy a unique golf holiday experience.
