Designed with care by Craig Cooke and Bradley Smith, the course was opened in 2005 and has an attractive layout that weaves around lakes and ancient olive trees. The tees are kept immaculate and the slightly undulating fairways and greens are maintained to a very high standard indeed.

A pleasure for the most demanding golfer, Atalaya Rosner Golf Course also called Atalaya New Golf Course requires accuracy off the tee and a steady putter on the green.
While the experts might find the challenge a little limited, the average club golfer will certainly find it quite enough to handle as the greens are sharply contoured and quick. Pleasant, flat parkland course with many bunkers, wide fairways and elevated greens.
In contrast with larger, more manicured courses, the natural appearance is maintained with wild flora and fauna still much in evidence just off the fairways. The signature hole is the third, a very long par-5 known as "The Ski Slope", though the difficulties lie more in club selection when assessing ground relief. Greens are of good quality, well-designed and interesting to play.
