Practice Your Golf On The Costa Del Sol -Mijas Golf Resort


The Mijas Golf Resort is situated just a 30 minute drive from San Juan airport. Take the Fuengirola Coin turn off from the motorway and follow the road named Camino Viejo de Coin. The course is about 3 and a half kilometers from the highway.

Mijas Golf has made a great effort to satisfy the needs of its numerous users who wants to play golf in Malaga on the Costa del Sol, and to that end, the course comes with all stock-in-trade. There is a practice area, buggy rental, manual and electric trolleys, putting green, places to get a drink and a bite to eat, shop, dressing rooms, bathing facilities and parking facilities. In addition, running throughout the grounds, there are places to buy water and other drinks plus toilets. There is furthermore the opportunity to take part in golf technique classes.

Mijas Golf Resort offers two Golf Courses:

Los Olivos founded in 1983/84 & Los Lagos founded in 1976. Both courses are designed by Robert Trent Senior. The main thing that distinguishes Los Olivos from Los Lagos is the amount of trees - hence the name - and its smaller size, as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Even though both are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two courses: if Los Lagos are based on challenges of water and sand, Los Olivos is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens. By and large the course favors the precision golfer rather than the big hitter.

Los Lagos is a ground course with wide fairways and quite a few trees hazards, but is defended by many bunkers and nine lakes, from which the course gets its name and which easily trap the ball. It is a course with soft movement and large greens. You could say that the American designer intended to present a course especially for beginners, but at the same time, it can present a challenge for the best golfers. One of "Los Lagos" most characteristic and challenging holes is the par five thirteenth. Seen from elevated tees it appears deceptively easy but at the approach to the green there is water left and right, also beware of the hill as even a well hit shot is in danger of rolling off the green into the water hazard. The 5th a 571 meter monster, is also "interesting". The course is nearly free of rough and is almost flat except for a sparse incline up the 18th hole.

There is an amazing selection of restaurants and bars within the resort, whilst the nearby town of Fuengirola also offers a range of restaurants, along with a cinema and various shops.

The atmospheric white village of Mijas, popular for its donkey-drawn taxis, sits high on the top of the mountains with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline and a number of municipalities of the Costa del Sol below. Within just a ten minute drive you will find some of the best rated beaches imaginable, providing the supreme setting for peace and relaxation.

In between golfing you don't have to be bored as Andalucia offers more sightseeing than you can possibly want & your Mijas Golf Villa offer comfortable relaxation by the pool.
