Founded in 1969 and designed by American architect Ron Kirby, Escorpión is widely regarded as the most exclusive golf club in the Valencia region. Set in the rolling hills of Bétera, the club offers 27 holes across three distinct 9-hole loops, giving members three different 18-hole combinations.
Membership is limited and the acción (club share) holds its value reasonably well. The club has a strong social scene, excellent facilities, and consistent demand from new members.

Escorpión is in Bétera, ~20 km north of Valencia. Take the V-21 motorway north, exit towards Bétera or San Antonio de Benagéber. Drive time from central Valencia: ~25–30 minutes.
Some members buy a second-hand acción from a departing member at a negotiated price — worth asking the club about this option to reduce the upfront cost.
