The Old Course was designed by Bernard von Limburger, the 1925 German Golf Championships winner who became his country’s finest golf course architect of the time. With its wide fairways and large elevated greens, this championship course provides a challenge to golfers at all levels. Elegant and mature with spectacular views of the magnificent La Concha mountain, it is the perfect oasis of tranquillity on the otherwise bustling and vibrant Costa del Sol. This course is a challenge for single-figure players as well.
Atalaya New Course offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean and Gibraltar and is seen as one of the most natural courses on the coast.
Created in 1990 by Paul Krings, the New Course is set further inland, but has a similar parkland feel about it - with gently undulating fairways and large, fast greens.
It is always a pleasure to come back to Atalaya. We played the New course as the Old was under maintenance, which we knew in advance. The New course is fun to play. I think the Par 3s are interesting, challenging and varied enough that they stick in the memory. And the Par 5 18th is a great finishing hole. Seating for food and that well earned drink at the end were limited, due to ongoing refurbishment work, but the food and service were excellent in what must be difficult conditions for the staff. Looking forward to returning to Atalaya so that we can play the Old course again, and see the results of all the work in the clubhouse.
