6. ATALAYA GOLF (OLD) GASTRONOMY
Opened in 1967, Atalaya Old Course opened for
play in 1966. Although it has undergone a few
changes over the years, it prides itself on being a
mature golf course that has been nurtured and
maintained by skilled ground staff over the years.
It’s richly-coloured flower beds and atmospheric
club house, provides a different kind of golf
experience on the Costa. Extensive practice
facilities include one of the largest driving ranges
in Spain. The Ryder Cup bar is the perfect place to
unwind with a drink on the new terrace with views
of the 9th and 18th holes. Another of the main attractions in Málaga province
is the cuisine. There is a total of seven Michelin
Star restaurants, tapas bars, establishments offering
haute-cuisine, international and traditional menus,
and wineries etc. Wherever you choose to visit you
will enjoy a fantastic culinary experience.
7. ATALAYA GOLF (NEW) There is no shortage of accommodation options
along the coast, so can golfers can choose between
any of the Costa del Golf’s many prestigious hotels
and resorts with plenty of budget options available
too, many of who have their own golf courses on
the doorstep.
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 would be fair to say that, in general, hazards are
obvious but still manage to trap the unwary. Care
is needed off the tees and the wild hitter will soon
encounter difficulties. The New Course is rapidly
catching up with the Old in terms of quality and in
the summer months there are great bargains to be
had for the holiday golfer.
