Cerrado Del Aguila
Andalucia » Los Arqueros
Halfway between Málaga and Gibraltar Los Arqueros prides itself
on being the first Severiano Ballesteros design in the Costa del
Sol. Set in the mountains on the road to Ronda the layout is
breathtaking in more than one way. In its construction over one
million cubic metres of earth were moved, even so it is still quite
up and down. At 6,048 metres off the back tees the course is not
overly long but strategically located tees add interest and offer
a stiff test for professionals whilst at the same time the course
is an acceptable challenge for club golfers. The opening of Los
Arqueros was eagerly awaited and has not been a disappointment.
Now with new owners in charge the club is benefiting from a
programme of improvements and rejuvenation.
Andalucia » Cerrado Del Aguila
A 9-hole course designed by Francisco Navarro and situated next
to the Mijas race course, it has extensive views of the sea from
many of the holes. With its flat, wide open fairways and mediumsized greens this is a reasonably easy course to play. There are
two Par-5 holes, the 2nd and the 9th, of 520 and 555 metres
respectively, and all the greens have a variety of pin positions.

is a perfect place to practise. The course was designed and built
to entertain, and with three par3’s and one par-5, many would
say that this has ben achieved. Its 9-hole layout is presented in a
valley with a a few tight holes, especially on opening holes. This
is a very pleasant course, with no steep slopes, and surrounded
by the trees and plants of the Mediterranean. The course lies in
surroundings of unrivalled beauty, with excellent views of the
mountains and the sea.
