Located very close to the coastal town of Fuengirola, Mijas Golf is a real favourite of regular visitors to the Costa del Sol, thanks to its two excellent courses that are always maintained to a pristine standard.
Los Lagos Course
Inaugurated in 1976, Los Lagos is a quality resort course that allowed Mijas to steadily build its reputation after opening, and ultimately to expand with a second layout. As its name suggest, Los Lagos is endowed with a great deal of water – there are in fact nine lakes interspersed throughout, which present golfers with a continuous threat. Designer Robert Trent Jones Senior has created a course that is manageable for the average golfer, with relatively forgiving fairways, but one that will still challenge even the most skillful of players.
Los Olivos Course
The Los Olivos course was added to Mijas’ resort in 1983, and has helped it grow into a fantastic all-encompassing golf destination. Although it was also the work of the esteemed Trent Jones Senior, it differs greatly in style to Los Lagos. There is less of a premium placed upon power – Los Olivos measures 6,384 yards – but it is crucial to be accurate to find the tree-lined fairways and the small, undulating putting surfaces.
The great contrast between the two courses makes Mijas all the more charming, and helps to explain why it is among the elite golf resorts on the Costa del Sol.
