Atalaya Golf Guide

The Atalaya Park Golf Resort is one of the most popular courses on the Costa del Sol and is more often than not on the itinerary for most visiting groups enjoying golfing holidays to the Costa del Golf. Atalaya opened 1968 and is suitable for all levels of players due to the flexibility of its tees and has now become one of the most popular golf resorts on the Costa del Sol.

Situated a short 15-minute drive east of Marbella, Atalaya Golf provides a captivating golfing experience with the majestic La Concha Peak of the Sierra Blanca mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop.

For avid golf enthusiasts, Atalaya International Golf Academy offers an exceptional practice facility, renowned as one of the best in Spain. With classes tailored to players of all skill levels and conducted in various languages, the academy provides comprehensive instruction. Additionally, hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to the putting ground and complimentary lessons.

The welcoming atmosphere at Atalaya Resort permeates through its well-maintained gardens and charming chalet-style clubhouse and restaurant. After your round, unwind on the terrace with a friendly drink, savouring the camaraderie of fellow golfers before bidding farewell.

Atalaya Old Course, the esteemed centrepiece, delights players with its lush fairways, mature eucalyptus trees, palm trees, vibrant azaleas, and indigenous flora. This flat, high-quality parkland course boasts ample bunkers, generous fairways, and elevated greens. While lower-handicapped golfers may find some challenges limited, it proves ideal for average golfers who can unleash their swing on the wide fairways without the fear of losing too many balls. The contoured and quick greens demand strategic putting skills.

As the younger sibling, Atalaya New Course offers a shorter yet more undulating layout. During the high season, it provides exceptional value for golfers on the Costa del Sol. Designed by Paul Krings and opened in 1992, this 18-hole course presents a rewarding test for players of all abilities, surpassing the Old Course in terms of challenge. The opening hole meanders effortlessly through the flat fairways of the Old Course before venturing into hilly terrain, eventually returning to lower levels. The course showcases narrow, sloping fairways, several lakes, and fragrant wildflowers, all against the captivating backdrop of the La Concha mountains.

Atalaya Golf promises an unforgettable golfing experience, combining captivating landscapes, varied challenges, and warm hospitality.
