Atalaya Golf hosts another edition of the Heineken Golf Circuit

Atalaya Golf & Country Club proudly hosted another outstanding edition of the Heineken Golf Circuit, welcoming golfers for a day that perfectly combined competitive golf, social atmosphere and charitable giving on the Costa del Sol.

Played as a Pairs Better Ball Stableford competition with a shotgun start, the tournament brought together members, subscribers and visiting golfers for one of the club’s most enjoyable social events of the season.
