Why Was Atalaya Chosen?

Navarro Álvarez commented that Atalaya’s Old Course was chosen by the RFGA because of its excellence. He reflected about its condition a few weeks ago during the RFGA sponsored Andalusian Cup. He said: “With the problems” …“we could have seen with the weather, the professionalism of your team created a great golf stage in perfect condition. The level of the players was incredible, and the impression that they took from the Atalaya Old Course has been magnificent.”
