Azata
Owned and operated by the Azata Group, a major Spanish real estate company, the Stirling & Martin-designed course at Azata Golf was the first 18-hole course to open in ten years on the Costa del Sol when it debuted outside Estepona in 2021.
Located immediately west of the Valle Romano golf complex, the course at Azata is part of a residential development with golf as its sporting focal point.
Extending to 5,703 metres and playing to a par of 71, the course is laid out as two returning nines with the Arroyo de Enmedio potentially coming into play on several holes.
Highlights include the uphill par five 8th (rated stroke index 1) and the tough par four 12th, where a couple of irrigation lakes come into play. The par five 18th rounds things off in fine style, playing uphill past a couple of small lakes to the home green.
