There’s an exciting new energy at The Alto, formerly known as Almenara Golf Club — and we at Peerless Golf have loved watching its transformation. Set in the tranquil hills above Sotogrande, this 27-hole course has been completely reimagined and rebranded under the eye of Manuel Piñero, bringing a fresh sense of sophistication to one of the region’s most scenic settings.

The redesign has elevated every aspect of the experience — from the improved routing and reshaped greens to the impeccable conditioning that now matches Sotogrande’s finest. Each of the three nines — Lagos, Alcornoques, and Pinos — offers its own charm: water-lined holes, pine-fringed fairways, and elevated tees with panoramic views across the Mediterranean. The Lagos nine, with its dramatic water features and risk-reward par fives, is especially memorable.

The rebrand extends beyond the course. The new clubhouse and golf academy bring a touch of modern luxury, with sleek architecture, open terraces, and warm hospitality that reflect the contemporary feel of the adjoining SO Sotogrande Resort.

For us at Peerless Golf, The Alto represents the new face of Sotogrande golf — beautifully renewed yet still authentic, delivering style, playability, and charm in equal measure
