Mijas Golf Club


Mijas Golf Club - With two of the busiest and most popular golf courses on the Costa del Sol, Mijas Golf is definitely doing something right. Both 18-hole courses were designed by Robert Trent Jones in the mid-70s. Golfers will enjoy Trent Jones creation with its gentle, undulating fairways and the general impression of wide-open space on the two courses. Exotic araucalia pines and perfumed jacaranda line the fairways at Los Lagos, and olive trees, naturally, are in abundance on Los Olivos. Both courses pay homage to the architect's philosophy "difficult Par, easy Bogey", with very little rough, plenty of water and relatively flat. The Club House is an old Andalusian cortijo (farmhouse) and one can feel the continual buzz on the terraces and in the restaurant, where the variety of clientele comes from all over the world.

With its 6,367 meters, Los Lagos is the longer of the two that comprise of Mijas Golf. Los Lagos is a ground course with wide fairways and a few forest trees obstacles, 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. It could be said that the American designer wanted to present a course especially for amateurs, but at the same time, it can present a challenge for the best players.
