Mijas (Los Olivos)
The two complementary 18-hole courses at Mijas were both designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones with Los Lagos opening in 1976 and Los Olivos following in 1984.
Los Lagos is set in gently undulating terrain where wide fairways and water hazards dominate proceedings. Los Olivos on the other hand, plays shorter and tighter over a hillier landscape – a perfect foil to its older golfing sibling.
Upgraded by Cabell Robinson in 2000-1, the main features of the Los Olivos course are, as its name suggests, the olive groves that line many of the fairways and green complexes.
Putting surfaces are smaller than the other course so the strategy here is keep the ball in play and be precise with approaches to the raised greens.
