About the club

ATALAYA GOLF

Friendly, courteous & professional staff

Opened in 1968 the Bernhard von Limburger designed Old Course makes Atalaya one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs on the coast. Von Limburger was responsible for 74 courses throughout Europe, although Atalaya is his only Spanish course. The New Course was added in 1990, to a Paul Krings design.

Unlike so many clubs in the area, Atalaya was established first and foremost as a golf club, as opposed to a real estate development. This heritage allows members and visitors alike to enjoy golf in natural surroundings, largely uncluttered by housing developments.

From the outset, Atalaya was conceived as an open golfing destination, where members and visitors alike would find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Indeed a unique feature of the club is its diverse membership where no less than 36 nationalities can be found enjoying their golf in the Spanish sunshine. This diversity naturally attracts visitors from across Europe and further afield.

Great location – near you no matter where you are

Throughout its history, Atalaya Golf has undertaken significant investments in its two golf courses as well as in the club’s facilities. The club operates under a rolling five-year strategic plan, which sets out clear objectives for the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the courses, including a comprehensive tree-planting programme. Over the years, subtle enhancements have been made to the original Bernhard von Limburger design, ensuring a layout that offers players a fair yet engaging challenge.

In 2017, the club made a major investment in what was formerly the 1st hole of the Old Course, now the 10th hole, transforming it into a highly attractive opening hole for each round. At the same time, a new café and terrace were constructed, providing a convenient and welcoming space for pre-round refreshments while also serving as a “halfway house”. Uniquely, the 10th tee forms the roof of the café, creating a distinctive architectural feature.

In 1998, Atalaya Golf built a substantial golf academy, including a full-length practice hole and all the necessary surfaces and conditions to practise and learn every aspect of the game. Players are invited to visit the PG Golf & Sports Academy, widely recognised for its high standards and excellent training facilities.

Further investments include the addition of a fully equipped gymnasium in 2013, and an outdoor terrace constructed in 2001, offering attractive views over the Old Course.

In 2018, a multi-storey car park adjacent to the clubhouse was completed, providing parking for over 135 vehicles and incorporating several electric vehicle charging points.

Solar panels installed on the roofs of the car parks now generate approximately 25% of the clubhouse’s energy consumption and supply power for the charging of more than 90 electric buggies.

Most recently, in 2019, the clubhouse and restaurant underwent a complete refurbishment, creating a bright, modern, and welcoming environment where members and visitors can enjoy a drink at the bar or a meal in the restaurant.

Looking ahead to 2026, we will once again rejuvenate the restaurant, introducing new furniture and a fully upgraded kitchen to further enhance the overall dining experience.
