Route & Infrastructure
Designed in 1991 by the legendary Sir Henry Cotton, Alto Golf offers a Par 70 course that perfectly reflects his philosophy: “a golf course to satisfy players of all levels”. The winding fairways and elevated greens embody this vision. Among its features, the Alto is home to one of the longest par 5s in Europe, the Sir Henry Challenge, which extends 591 meters from the back tees.
The elevated greens, dog-legs, majestic trees and strategically placed bunkers make this course a stimulating challenge for both amateur and seasoned golfers.
