La Zagaleta – Old

8.4

Break72 editor scores across five criteria; not player ratings.

The Old Course at La Zagaleta follows the undulations of a former hunting estate. Brad Benz designed its 18 holes and Marc Westenborg renovated them in 2016, retaining the character of a championship course integrated into the terrain. It is a private course reserved for members, so access must be enquired about in advance.

The prestigious Zagaleta Country Club, known to residents simply as the Old Course, is a members-only (effectively residents-only) club with an 18-hole course designed by renowned golf architect Brad Benz in 1991 and redesigned by Marc Westenborg in 2016. The brief, to create a championship-standard course on a verdant carpet that follows the undulating contours of a former hunting estate, finds perfect expression in one of the most beautiful courses in Europe.
