Alcaidesa Links Golf Club, which opened in 1992 and was designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark, is an experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Spain, it is the only links course in Spain meeting competition standards. This 18-hole course is par 68 and 4924 metres long and brings together the best of the sea, sky and earth and creates a unique course. It is located to the west of San Roque, in an area rich with enthusiastic golfers. Whilst playing, there is no way to escape the silent presence of the majestic rock of Gibraltar, which dominates a large part of the course, and the Atlas mountains of Africa, which combine to offer a unique space which is a delight to all the senses. The Spanish PGA have held several tournaments here, including the Junior Ryder Cup in 1997, and if you enjoy a links course it is well worth playing this one.

Alcaidesa golf course meanders along the edge of the Mediterranean and has four beachside holes, in playing you need to know how to handle the wind, especially in the winter. The type of soil, layout and breadth of the landing areas are well suited to players of all ages and abilities who are looking for a good day's golfing without having to bend the ball one way or the other. The greens are not oversized or too complicated, but to card a good score or win your bet, you will need to hit it straight and have a good short game. The course underwent an extensive programme of remodelling in 1999, fairways were improved and widened and greens were levelled. The work carried out has apparently worked wonders for the maintenance of this fast developing golf club.

Brand new course, just opened on 12th October, 2007. Information to follow shortly....

This is a unique mould breaking club offering 3 courses designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The 18-hole par72 course is of international quality and has challenging holes, lush fairways and greens set amongst pine woods. The 9-hole par3, which borders a beautiful lake, and the 18-hole junior courses are both appropriate for practicing new players and youngsters. The 3 courses cover an area of over 1,150,00 metres and have a total of 45 holes!

The main characteristic of the 18-hole par72 course is its hilly design preserving the land's natural contours. The fairways are long and narrow so straight hitting is a must, and their wide diversity forces the player to think carefully before choosing the club and stroke. It is a technical course offering a challenge to the experienced and a test to evaluate the progress of the less experienced.

The majestic views of the mountains, Africa and the Mediterranean offer indescribable beauty, and because of the altitude and dry climate, the course is particularly suitable for playing year around.

This superior 27-hole course designed by Dave Thomas is set in the upper part of Sotogrande. In 2001 the third 9-hole course was opened, it has a spectacular layout built around a series of vast lakes requiring some of the most breathtaking tee shots in Europe. This beautiful undulating course is surrounded by cork oak trees, wild pines, several streams and an impressive natural lake - all ingredients of a spectacular setting, especially on the 15th hole!

With its winding narrow fairways, deep bunkers and its varied and imaginative links, this is a challenge even for the best golfer. Play changes from one day to the next depending on the prevailing wind, it is a course for thinkers, and requires intelligence, accuracy and planning. Players always return to enjoy its stiff test.

Atalaya Golf and Country Club is composed of two 18-hole, par 72 courses, the Old Course and the New Course. The condition of both courses is excellent, with beautifully manicured fairways and greens. Atalaya is the official headquarters of the PGA of Europe which covers 29 countries and 7,500 golf professionals, and has been one of the most popular clubs on the Costa del Sol since its opening. Situated between Marbella and Estepona, it is suitable for all levels of play from total beginners to professionals due to the diversity of its tees.

Old Course
Atalaya Old Course was designed by Bernhard Von Limburger and opened in 1967, it is an 18 hole course that is 6142 metres long. It is a classical course formed by a series of superb and wide fairways (Bermuda) surrounded by eucalyptus, olive and pine trees, strategically placed bunkers and large and mostly elevated greens.

New Course
Atalaya New Course was opened in 1991 and is more gently sloping than its sister course. It is also an 18 hole course but is 5325 metres long and faces inwards towards the mountains which gives way to spectacular panoramic views. This course rewards golfers with a testing layout, starting deceptively gently between the wide, flat fairways, this course shows its teeth by rising into the foothills and winding inland towards Ronda with some of its higher parts being exposed to wind.

Atalaya Golf Club offers a variety of golf schools and tuition in several languages. Practice facilities are excellent including one of the largest driving ranges in Spain, 6 pitching areas and 3 putting greens.
