The Alto Club (antes Almenara Golf)

7.1

Break72 editor scores across five criteria; not player ratings.

Almenara combines pine trees, elevation changes and water hazards on an 18-hole main course. Dave Thomas created the original design, which was subsequently remodelled by Manuel Piñero. The academy also uses the nine holes of Alcornoques, a separate offering from the main course.
