Club de Campo, Los Barrancos de la Zagaleta, Spain

The new 6,000-metre length 18-hole private members course at La Zagaleta is called Los Barrancos, loosely translated as ‘a rugged, mountainous landscape’. One of the most challenging golf course sites in Europe with a difference in elevation of almost 150m, it was a Gaunt & Marnoch contract jointly designed and built between 2001 and 2005.

The course is part of a stunning new Costa del Sol residential/golf development on the ultra-exclusive private estate at La Zagaleta overlooking the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of North Africa.

We developed all the golf course construction drawings and worked with local engineers, architects and ecologists to develop a full re-landscaping plan, utilising native Mediterranean species for the slope restoration and strategic planting on the golf course.

This site provided the perfect natural conditions where we were able to introduce our design philosophy of true ‘risk and reward’ golf.
