Designed by Steve Marnoch it is fair to say that this project has been extremely challenging embarking on the golf course shaping and landscape design. What has emerged is a stunning course (Opened in 2005), which our owner members and external members can enjoy for the future. Bringing services and facilities to an unprecedented level, La Zagaleta offers its club members its second and exclusive par 70 golf course.

"Wieder ein Erlebnis der Extraklasse! Bereits zum zweiten Mal durften wir den "heiligen Rasen" betreten. Dieses mal konnten wir den Platz noch besser genießen als beim ersten Mal, denn wir wussten, auf was wir uns einlassen. Wir waren so gut wie alleine auf dieser unglaublichen Anlage. Tadeloser Zustand, die Hirsche neben einem auf dem Fairway, die Bergkulisse um einen herum....einfach unfassbar. Dieser Platz gehört für uns Lebenslänglich zum Pflichtprogramm, wenn wir hier in der Gegend sind." - Volker und Christian

"Perfectly manicured and beautiful, but difficult for a high hcp player. Lost all balls. ?? The first T-Off already ”horryfying”. Tha man helping us with the buggy was very friendly. The girl in the reception could maybe smile a little at least." - Anonymous

"A lot of downhill holes with excellent views! I like the canyons, the difference types of holes and that you can play the holes in many different ways. Its our 3 visit and we will definitely play Zagaleta again! " - Lars Werum

"The condition was superb. It’s a very tight course and has many stunning tee shots over canyons. After finding the fairway you feel relaxed but then you realise you to have to putt on some of the best ,true , fastest greens in the area. It was great to play and EVERY staff member was so helpful and genuinely welcoming to us. One bit of advice take a spare ball !!!" - Darren

"The course was in an excellent condition the fairway were very narrow there you will have to play target golf. The greens were very fast and lot of undulations. The buggy are definitely recommended as there is a long walk between the greens and tees. The sand in the bunkers were excellent The 18 hole was very challenging as it was narrow fairways and pond on the right. We took photos of 18 holes to show our friends how challenging/picturesque the golf course is." - Dinesh Patel

"This is my favourite golf course in Spain. Yes it’s unfair, and difficult and you'll lose a couple of balls, but the quality of the fairways, greens, reception from staff are all top notch. If you put your ego aside it’s very playable, just not with your driver in hand all the time. Aim to stay and have lunch…the steaks are superb!" - The married pair

"A unique course, which can only be described as "challenging" unless you hit every ball very straight! I am not sure that I would play again, but glad to have had the experience! Make sure you have plenty of balls Made to feel very welcome at this exclusive club" - Jim Mardell

"Great, but difficult course. Suggest you take enough balls with you. Carrying ravines is key, but not a very long course. So course management is key. Will come again." - Anonymous

"You don't play this course for a score, you play it for the views, the layout, the drama, the possibility of a 350 yard drive...all downhill, the welcome and the food. This is a great fun to play course. It will take you 4.5 hours to play, you'll lose 4-6 balls but the course condition is excellent, the layout superb and staff so very welcoming. We play this every time we come over to Spain." - The happy golfing pair

"Amazing course in top condition. Staff were brilliant all round. Buggies are required its not a course that you could easily walk. I would also add this is not a course for the casual golfer, you have to be on your game here." - Anonymous

"Not a course for the faint-hearted! The fairways are very narrow in places with ravines or hills on one or both sides. The course is not overly long but demands a lot of thought over club choice. Quite a distance from green to tee on some holes - not a course you can walk! Bring a lot of balls! It’s a course where you would know the best way to play it on the second attempt - if you can afford the list golf balls! Carries from the tees for ladies are too long on some holes. Also, I’m not keen on trees in the middle of fairways. When the fairways are narrow it is difficult to find a landing ground where the green is not blocked out by the tree. However the course was in excellent condition. Greens were very fast and tricky to read. The course was not particularly busy (this seems to be the norm) and our 2 ball got round in 4 hours after a 4 ball let us through. The reception on arrival was very friendly and the club house very nice. Food was good." - Anonymous

"We played 10 courses in 11 days whilst in Spain over Christmas and New Year...this is the most memorable. You are given a GPS tracker to keep in your vehicle as you are only allowed to travel to and from the clubhouse. The development is private and you are not allowed to wander around the housing developments. The meet and greet at the clubhouse is very positive and courteous, lovely young lad. The clubhouse staff are super friendly and really want you to enjoy your visit. We had a meal afterwards and my steak was great, my wife's salad, just what she wanted. The practice facilities are very good, we had the range to ourselves. But it's the course itself that is so different. Zagaleta New is built across three gorges and you have to be brave to make all the carries...the greens are wonderful, super fast and very true. The fairways are tight and in excellent condition. the routing of the course is very dramatic, you hit across the gorges a number of times and the holes shape away and toward you. Its a stunning looking course. There are two average par threes but with the limited land available you can understand that. Overall impression was WOW! PS - the goodie bag included three new Bridgestone balls, all three were needed :)" - The Golfing Couple

"An amazing course, very challenging, and combined with the breathtaking beauty of nature is an unforgettable marvelous experience. The staff people were very friendly. The cherry on the cake was two deers coming out of bushes to say goodbye on our way out. Highly recommended. " - Isabelle

"Banan var i riktigt bra skick, bra tee, fina fairways och jämna greener. Banan är inte så lång men ibland lite svår. Enda nackdelen är att det är långa avstånd mellan green och tee ibland och golfbil rekommenderas, paths var jättefina. Spela denna banan var ett stort nöje." - Owe och Kerstin

"Amazing course not very long but it puts a premium on accuracy the elevation changes are unbelievable and I have never putted on truer greens fairways are fantastic,it may seem a little expensive but it's the most exclusive private member's club on the coast and compared to the cost of Finca Cortesin it's very reasonable the service from when you arrive is really good and the course isn't loaded with golfers so you can play at a nice pace without being pushed this is definitely a course worth playing!" - Michael Allbutt

"Der Platz ist sehr schön, allerdings für höhere hcp sehr herausfordernd! Die Grüns sehr schnell und onduliert. Die Grüns oft mit Bunkern gut verteidigt! Sehr oft schmale Landezonen vom Abschlag aus. Personal überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Buggy obligatorisch, Platz ist nicht zu laufen!!!! " - Heidi
