We had the pleasure of playing the New Course last year, and this time we were fortunate enough to be invited to play the Old Course. While the New Course is undoubtedly spectacular with its dramatic scenery, the Old Course is, in my opinion, the better of the two. Because access is limited to members and their guests, the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful. The course never feels crowded, allowing you to fully appreciate both the surroundings and the golf. Compared to the New Course, which features deep ravines and several holes that can be extremely demanding—perhaps even too demanding for the average golfer—the Old Course is a little more forgiving. That said, it still provides a challenging and rewarding test of golf. The conditioning is simply exceptional. The tees and fairways are immaculate, and the greens are every bit as impressive—fast, true, and beautifully maintained. Another feature I really appreciated was the layout itself. Apart from holes 9 and 18, I can't remember seeing another hole while playing. That sense of isolation adds to the feeling that you're playing in the middle of nature and makes the entire experience even more special. Overall, this is a truly outstanding golf course. It combines world-class conditioning with a thoughtful, challenging layout and a peaceful atmosphere that is becoming increasingly rare. If you ever have the opportunity to play the Old Course, don't hesitate—you won't be disappointed.

Hele mooie uitdagende maar moeilijke baan! Niet voor beginnende golfers. Snelle greens, smalle fIairways en een aantal holes waar je over ravijn moet slaan! Dus je moet wel lengte hebben met jouw slagen.

Zeer technische baan met korte afstanden meestal van hoog naar laag. Terrein is zeer golvend, spijtig waren de greens in onderhoud(veel zand). Maar daarover hadden ze hun reeds uitvoerig geëxcuseerd. De ontvangst was wel een van de beste ooit. De golfcar werd voorgereden de golfbag werd uit de auto op de golfcar geladen, zeer goede uitleg. Je wordt getrackt over gps, zodoende ontstaat er een enorm veiligheidsgevoel.

Course flag18 holes

Without a doubt, one of the major attractions of La Zagaleta is its private golf course, created and designed by the Californian architect Bradford Benz. Whilst designing a unique 18-hole golf course, absolute priority has been given to preserving the natural surroundings and wild beauty. This has been the main objective of this prestigious American designer in tackling the La Zagaleta challenge. When you begin your round, you will have a vis-à-vis with the terrain, without interferences, since in La Zagaleta there are no parallel holes and the possibility of seeing anything other than the marvellous wooded areas and natural life only occurs on the spectacular arrival at the imposing Club House, after the 9th and 18th holes. The course has four clearly marked tees per hole, which makes it easier for the player to choose the desired degree of difficulty. This means that one can choose between spending a pleasant day's golf or accepting a difficult challenge for more expert players.
