The Mijas Golf Resort is placed just a 30 minute drive from Malaga 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 motorway.
Mijas Golf Resort has made a great effort to answer the needs of its numerous players who desires to play golf in Malaga on the Costa del Sol, and to that end, the course comes with all conveniences. There is a practice area, buggy hire, 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 also the choice to participate 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. Despite the fact that both are created by the same designer, there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two golf courses: if Los Lagos are based on challenges of water and sand, Los Olivos is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens. Generally 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 9 water areas, 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 beginners, but likewise, it can present a challenge for the best players. One of "Los Lagos" most characteristic and difficult holes is the par five thirteenth. Seen from the elevated tees it appears deceptively easy but at the approach to the green there is water left and right, also watch out for the incline as even a well hit shot is in danger of sending the ball into the water hazard. The 5th a 571 meter monster, is also "interesting". The course is almost free of rough and is practically flat except for a insignificant incline up the 18th hole.
There is an great choice of dining possibilities and bars within the resort, whilst the nearby town of Fuengirola also offers a range of restaurants, along with a cinema and a variety of shops.
The atmospheric white village of Mijas, famous for its donkey-drawn taxis, is placed high on the top of the mountains offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and several 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 perfect setting for peace and relaxation.
