Atalaya Golf
Atalaya Golf is one of the Costa del Sol Golf’s most exclusive golfing complexes and comprises of two magnificent 18-hole golf courses as well as many other facilities to enjoy at the luxurious 4 star Atalaya Park hotel Estepona nearby, and it is in fact the official home of PGA Europe.
Situated on the Costa del Sol, Spain the original golf course "old course" was designed by Bernard Von Limburger and opened back in 1968. Revamping and subsequent improvements have been made to make this one of the most popular places to play on the Costa del Sol Golf. The old golf course is parkland with wide lush fairways and fast elevated greens, well-positioned bunkers and water hazards.
It has some long challenging holes but suits all levels of handicap. The golf course is impressive with fairways guarded by Eucalyptus, Olive and Pine trees that provide welcome shade in the summer months. However, they are always ready to catch the wayward shot and you will need to take your medicine and chip sideways back to the fairway. This is considered one of the finest golf courses on the Costa del Sol Golf.
The "new course" was opened in 1992 and is different to the old course in so many ways. It is perhaps more challenging and certainly more hilly as you get further in to the course.
It starts off gently and very relaxing between the wide fairways of the old course but then gets more difficult as you approach the foothills. It then wanders back down again to the lower levels of the old course. The fairways are narrow and sloping and there are several lakes to negotiate on your way round. It is a very good test of golf where your drive and ball placement is very important.
