Azata Golf

Feelgood golf without spectacle, modest condition

2.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 26, 2024

So, the region's newest course in Estepona belongs to the Azata Group - a large Spanish real estate company that seems to have understood how to sell luxury apartments with the right greenery around them. A golf course is of course the ideal advertising platform. That's all it is! Easy peasy golf without spectacle. Simple courses without steep ups and downs. You can walk it easily and don't necessarily need a buggy, as long as you are healthy, fit and cheerful.

On the Azata fairways, a lot of effort has obviously been put into the drainage systems - or rather, not enough. Because in some places the ground is very muddy. At least, you have to give them credit for this, there is plenty of grass. A luxury that the neighboring Estepona Golf cannot always offer.

Holes 1 and 5 offer a bit of action with their water hazards, but to be honest, the drama is limited. What really makes an impression, however, is the damage caused by wild boars, which shows that nature has no respect for our golfing world. The pigs are not to blame - after all, the course was once their living room. Electric fences may help, but of course the ball collectors have to get through somewhere. It's a never-ending back and forth.

The fairways themselves are nice and wide and quite forgiving - perfect for golfers or anyone who wants to play their round in a relaxed manner without constantly finding themselves in the rough or bunkers...
