ATALAYA OLD COURSE
First opened back in 1968, the Atalaya Old Course
has seen a long overdue revamping under the direction
of Mel Pyatt and recent director Derek Brown, who
introduced further improvements which included the
reseeding of fairways with Bermuda grass. This parkland
course was designed by Bernhard von Limburger and
features wide fairways and fast elevated greens.
Eucalyptus, olive and pine trees grow along all
the fairways, giving pleasant shade in summer but
meting out their own punishment for inaccurate shots.
Because of its tee positions, the Atalaya Old Course
is suitable for any kind of player:
If you happen to be an early riser and manage to
tee off from the 10th hole before 9am, you will
be well rewarded with a tasty cooked breakfast in
the Swiss chalet clubhouse when coming in from the
18th. Practice facilities are excellent and include
a 60-bay driving range, a chipping green, putting
green and bunker practice area.
ATALAYA NEW COURSE
The views over the Mediterranean and the La Concha
mountain are beautiful, but don't get distracted.
This is a challenging course. Its starts off deceptively
gently between the wide, flat fairways of the Atalaya
Old Course but things soon get more difficult as
you head up into the foothills. The return leg wanders
gently down among the fairways of the older pcourse
towards the chalet-style clubhouse. The Bermuda
fairways are lined with wildflowers, gorse bushes
and lakes.
