Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I play at Atalaya Golf & Country Club - the Old or the New?

If you appreciate classic parkland golf with mature trees and wider fairways, the Old Course is your pick; it's a timeless design that offers a forgiving round. For a more modern, challenging test with tighter lines and more elevation changes, the New Course will push your game. We recommend playing both if your schedule allows, as they offer distinct experiences.

When is the best time of year to play golf at Atalaya Golf & Country Club?

We find the shoulder seasons - spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) - offer the most pleasant conditions, with comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds. Summer can be quite hot, though early morning tee times are still enjoyable, and winter is mild but can see more rain. Book well in advance for peak times, especially if you have specific tee time preferences.

How challenging are the courses at Atalaya, and are they suitable for all handicaps?

Absolutely, both courses are very playable for a range of handicaps, which is a big plus here. The Old Course is generally more forgiving with its generous fairways, making it great for a relaxed round or higher handicappers. The New Course demands more precision off the tee and around the greens, offering a stiffer test for experienced players.

What makes Atalaya Golf & Country Club a unique golf experience in the Costa del Sol?

What truly sets Atalaya apart is its incredible maturity and the sheer variety across its two courses, all within a stunning natural setting. You'll play among ancient eucalyptus and olive trees with fantastic mountain backdrops, offering a serene escape from the coast's hustle. The club maintains a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere that we really appreciate.

What practical advice do you have for booking tee times and using the facilities at Atalaya?

Always book your tee times online well in advance, especially for weekend play or if you're visiting during peak season - it saves hassle and often gets you better rates. The practice facilities are excellent, with a large driving range and putting greens, so arrive early to warm up properly. Don't miss a post-round drink on the clubhouse terrace, it's a great spot to relax.
