From this course set in the hills behind the Miraflores resort you can enjoy terrific views of the countryside down to the sea. It was designed by Folco Nardi and has many interesting and challenging holes: tee shots from both the 5th and 6th must clear the water, from the 8th you get a spectacular view over the out-of-bounds countryside, a lake divides the fairway on the 570-metre 12th, and the water hazard at the 15th forms a protective moat around the green. There is also a floodlit Golf Academy.

HOW TO GET THERE

Turn off the highway at La Cala de Mijas, the golf course is about 300 metres away.
