About Atalaya Golf & Country Club

Atalaya Golf & Country Club in Estepona operates two separate 18-hole parkland layouts. The Old Course was designed by German architect Bernhard von Limburger and dates from 1968. It is the longer and flatter of the two courses, with mature vegetation and a par of 72.

The New Course was added in 1990 to a Paul Krings design on higher, more undulating ground; the Spanish golf federation lists it as a par-71 course. Atalaya therefore provides 36 holes rather than a single 18-hole layout, and scorecard statistics should be kept separate for the Old and New courses. The club also has an extensive practice operation, including a driving range, short-game areas and putting facilities.

The course is a 36-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Paul Krings and Bernhard von Limburger, the course originally opened in 1968. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Chipping Area, Practice Bunkers, Golf Academy, Pro Shop, Restaurant, Bar, and 3 more.

Origins

Atalaya's first layout was created during the early expansion of golf on the Costa del Sol. German architect Bernhard von Limburger designed the Old Course on comparatively gentle ground, and the course dates from 1968.

Did You Know?
The club expanded from 18 to 36 holes when Paul Krings' New Course was added in 1990.

Design Philosophy

Von Limburger's Old Course uses broad fairways, mature vegetation and relatively gentle terrain. When Atalaya expanded, Paul Krings used the hillier land above the original course for the New Course. Its elevation changes and narrower playing corridors place a greater premium on accuracy.

Development

The second 18-hole course opened in 1990. Later work reported by Atalaya management included drainage and irrigation improvements on the Old Course, reshaping work and additions or extensions to tees on the New Course, along with clubhouse and practice-facility investment.

Recognition

The Old Course was associated for a period with the Professional Golfers' Associations of Europe, which maintained a European base at Atalaya.

Today

Atalaya remains a 36-hole club, with the Old and New courses functioning as distinct layouts and sharing a large practice and clubhouse complex.
