Mijas golf is one of the Costa del Sol's most popular and largest golf complexes with two excellent 18-hole
courses known as Los Lagos and Los Olivos. Both courses were designed by Robert Trent-Jones and are always
presented in excellent condition for visiting golfers.
Los Lagos was opened in 1976 and is the older of the two courses and receives its name because of the eight
lakes that pepper the course. Water comes in to play on at least 9 holes! It is being constantly upgraded and
refurbished to match modern day standards and is a very good mixture of holes to be enjoyed by all golfers
whatever their handicap. It is one of the longest and flattest courses on the Costa del Sol as well as being
spacious with few obstructions and practically no rough. You will enjoy your round here.
Los Olivos is a completely different course to its watery counterpart and was initially opened in 1984.
It has undergone a complete refurbishing programme that has made the course so much more picturesque,
particularly around the lake areas. Named after its abundance of olive trees, it is characterised by the
undulating fairways, twisted bunkers, small greens and trees that are at the least obstructive. It is
considered to be the most challenging of the two and is a very good test of golf for all handicaps. Again, there
is an excellent mixture of holes to be enjoyed, some of which have been altered or rebuilt with new tees and bunkers.
Both courses are extremely enjoyable to play and Mijas golf is always a very busy and popular complex for visiting
golfers. You should contact
Med Golf to ensure a tee time reservation
is made available to avoid disappointment if you are coming to play here. It is certainly well worth a visit.
On arrival you will find ample parking and very good clubhouse facilities to include changing rooms, showers etc.
There are bar and restaurant facilities or you can simply enjoy a drink or snack on the terracing. There is a
well-stocked pro shop, practice range and putting green and tuition can be arranged if desired. The courses can
be walked but it is advisable to take advantage of the buggies particularly in the warmer weather.
