Andalucia ยป Mijas (Los Olivos)
In many ways Los Olivos represents the antithesis of its
neighbour, Los Lagos. Also a Robert Trent Jones design
it is younger (1983) and shorter than its sister course
but also there is less water here, the fairways are more
narrow, there are more trees and it is more undulating.
Greens are smaller and many are elevated. The par
three 3rd is the most spectacular hole with magnificent
panoramic views from the raised tees. The small green, tucked away below
and protected by three bunkers, demands cool nerve and accurate tee shot.
Generally the course favours the precision golfer rather than the big hitter.
Mijas Golf is a hospitable club with a pay-as-you-play policy.
