Golfing holidays and golf breaks in Spain.
La Cala Golf Club La Cala de Mijas, 29649 Mijas-Costa, Malaga, Spain
The three courses at La Cala, North (Par 73), South (Par 72) and the new Europa (Par 71) have been designed by North American architect Cabell B. Robinson. In a difficult and winding area, as Robinson says, "the terrain for the La Cala course made it my most challenging course construction project".
The North Course starts with the three flattest holes of the Resort followed by a narrow and interesting Par 3, where we recommend that you hit the ball onto the green or you will find yourself in a ravine or bunker. Watch out for the 6th, a difficult uphill index 1 hole. A good drive is needed. If you have time, walk up to the white tee box on the 16th and take in the spectacular views of the entire resort. You can even see the coastline from this height. Good luck crossing the lake on this par 3 hole. The 18th hole is also interesting as it is downhill all the way to the 19th where you can relax after a good round of golf.
The South Course is also spectacular. The 1st, 9th, 10th, and 18th are all located beside the Clubhouse.
The 5th and 12th are two interesting holes with water hazards. The 11th is a very picturesque par 3 and watch where you hit the ball on the 9th or you might end up in trouble.
The Europa Course contrasts with the North and South courses with multiple tee positions, wider fairways and bigger, more receptive greens. The layout of 14 of the holes is visible from the tees that also offer fantastic views of the resort and the mountains.
Ideal complements are the clubhouse with its bar and pro shop, and the prestigious David Leadbetter Golf Academy, with a large driving range, surrounded by a Par 3 course.
