Robert Trent Jones II, the architect of the course, designed it to best take account of the steeply sloping terrain and excellent views of the surrounding landscape, across the mountains to the sea beyond. This means that the first three holes and the final three are laid out in a valley wooded with pines and studded with granite outcrops. The 6th to the 13th holes, meanwhile, have been built on a hill offering extensive views over the region

Atlantic has hosted the Portuguese Open in 1994 and 1995, the Estoril Open in 1999 and the Grand Final of the European Challenge Tour in 1998. The course ranks amongst the top 5 chosen in the Biennial poll organised by the European Golf Magazine.
