Golf Courses at Sol Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park

Old Course

Designed in 1968 by Bernhard von Limburger, a German golf designer and historian, the Old Course is a tough par-72 layout. The fairways are relatively forgiving, and the greens are large and undulating, but trouble awaits those who stray far off line. The 6,714-yard Old Course is a classic resort layout with Bermuda grass underfoot, where mastering the elevated putting surfaces is the key to success.

New Course

Atalaya's New Course was opened in 1991 following architectural work by Paul Krings, and affords fantastic views over the Mediterranean and Gibraltar. At 5,821 yards, the New is considerably shorter than its more established neighbour, but still represents a considerable test for golfers of all abilities. Both courses have a good variety of tee boxes to ensure an appropriate challenge for all visitors.

Atalaya Park is also home to the headquarters of the Professional Golfers Association of Europe, and the Atalaya International Golf Academy and has been chosen to host the annual Team Championships.

Signature Hole:

Hole 12 (Old Course), Par 3, 207 metres (226 yards), SI 8

The 12th hole on the Old course can easily turn into trouble if missing the green on the right. Aim for the left side of the green, and you’ll be in for a shot at par. However, any shots hit right will either be in the deep green-side bunker or if mis-hit, may even find their way into the large water reservoir, making for a tough bogey. A challenging hole, and a confident approach shot is needed to keep your scorecard in check.

Very good facilities as above. Highly competent staff. Especially helpful when the golf booking arrangements needed clarification and golf clubs not provided as per arrangements made by YGT. Clubs for Hire kiosk permanantly closed at Malage Airport, thus we were not able to collect them. By phonecall from hotel contact made with CfH, and YGT too. Clubs delivered. Also bookings with courses were not correct, Old and New course times were crossed.

The description of the hotel facilities are not as advertised. There is no indoor pool, and currently no gym. The room did not offer tea/coffee making facilities, we needed to pay to have a kettle. The hot food, whilst adequate, was not varied, most times we ate from the cold counter. A lot of the hotel was closed, as were many of the facilities. The hotel was approximately 3kms from the golf course which meant the cost of a taxi to and from the course. Not a 4 star hotel service.

the hotel is a brand new build,so there are a few issues which after a few seasons i hope would be sorted " only one person serving in each of the bars" Slow and having to queue. Prices for drink and snacks reasonable, plenty of entertainment through out the day and night of a good standard, rooms of a good size and cleaned everyday, but a bit sparse on storage , three pools and plenty of loungers.Food issues on breakfast always cold , eggs bacon ,porridge ,but a wide selection on offer for the evening meal.

Highly undulating, hilly, raised greens and tees. Short par 4s, but difficult. One had to be able to be straight off the tees, or great trouble resulted. Not a course for beginners or less physically able

An afternoon tee off, we knew it would be tight with the light but the starter managed to get us off early so much appreciated. Lunch before and drinks after in the bar were good. We played the Blue course which was a tricky narrow course sculpted into a hillside. Some fanatic holes with a great sense of achievement when occasionally conquered. The course showed some signs of wear but still very playable and acceptable for the time of year. The Old course which you drive through to get to the 1st Tee looked to be the more premium course and in better condition.

Fantastic. Nearly every shot was a blind one making for a fun and exciting round. Many of the fairways were sloped and if you hit the ball the wrong way, you were punished. Difficult greens needed to be thought about before commencing your putting. Would recommend the new course over the old.

The old course was good to play. Depending who you were coupled with in your 4 ball, you either enjoyed your round or struggled to communicate if English wasn't spoken. Games were slow, simple because of usage. This course is generally used more than the new.

We didn't get to play this course as information about the new times had not been passed on to us by YGT. We were given the option of waiting for the new time (3 hrs +) or being transferred to the New Course, which we opted for. Again a very hilly course and not one which I would have chosen for our group. There was a route march to the first tee.

Having played here last year, we were disappointed with the conditions, to be fair there is a lot of building work going on, but the greens were the worst I’ve played on for some time, that’s not an excuse for my poor play, they were shocking. It’s a shame as this is a nice club with friendly staff.
