El Chaparral Golf Course

Tuesday May 20th

El Chaparral is an 18 hole golf course which sweeps along the undulating
coastline of Mijas Costa.
Practically every hole overlooks the sea, and the nature of the terrain,
the indigenous vegetation and pine forests ensure that no two holes are alike.

Indeed with six par 3´s, six par 4´s and six par 5´s it is a beautiful and
challenging course to play.

With its wide and varied greens, exquisitely designed by Pepe Gancedo,
El Chaparral golf course is the ideal course for all types of play.

The Clubhouse of El Chaparral golf is situated in a prominent position at
the heart of the golf course.

With panoramic views over the golf course and the sea, its position
overlooking the 1st tee and 18th green is ideal.

Alhaurin Golf Course

Wednesday 21st May

The beautiful golf resort of Alhaurin overlooks the Sierra de Mijas Hills
and the Mediterranean Sea and is located just at 20 minutes drive
from the Mijas Costa and 25 minutes from Malaga Airport and Marbella.

Alhaurin Golf offers an 18 hole golf course designed by Severiano Ballesteros.
The course is hilly since it follows the natural contours of the landscape
which certainly makes it a challenge with every hole being unique and a real
test of every part of your golf game.

The golf course is well maintained and the natural vegetation is a sample of
Mediterranean forest where you can find pine trees,

oak trees, cypress, orange trees and a wide range of herbs.

Mijas Golf Courses

Thursday 22nd May

The Mijas Golf Resort is a popular destination with holiday golfers on the
Costa del Sol, the resort consists of two beautifully maintained golf courses
both of which were designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, the world
renowned golf course architect.


Los Largos
Los Lagos was the first of the two golf courses and is the longest.
Although the wide fairways and light rough present this course a friendly light,
you should be aware of the 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.


Los Olivios
The main feature of Los Olivios which distinguishes this course from Los Largos
golf course is the abundance of trees, hence the name, and its smaller size
as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended.
Although both are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt there are
interesting contrasts between the two courses.
If Los Lagos is based on water hazards and sand, Los Olivios is strategic narrow tree
lined fairways and elevated greens.
Both course provide unique challenges and are ideal holiday golf courses.
