Golf Courses
One of the finest courses on the Costa, the Old Course was designed by the German master golf course architect Dr Bernhard von Limburger, Blending in with the natural surroundings the wide generous fairways undulate gently between mature trees and flowering shrubs providing shade and all year colour. The frequently elevated greens can make club selection interesting, and their subtle contours need careful judgement to sink those all important putts. You’ll also see magnificent views of La Concha and the Mediterranean, as well as lakes and streams populated by many species of water birds.
Design by Paul Krings, the New Course, opened in 1990 offers an intriguing test of golf. Situated in the hills above the Atalaya Old Course, the New Course rewards accuracy off the tee, rather than out and out length. A number of the fairways and greens feature slopes and elevation changes, requiring careful shot selection.
As you make your way around the course you’ll have wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the Mediterranean and Gibraltar and thanks to its location away from busy roads provides a tranquil setting in which to enjoy your round of golf. Wildlife abounds throughout the course, including the lake on the picturesque 4th hole and there is a natural wood in the centre of the course, featuring cork oaks, olive and carob trees.
