LOS LAGOS
Mijas Golf, probably the busiest and most popular golf pcomplex on the Costa del Sol, has two 18-hole courses of which the older is Los Lagos, firts opened in 1976.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, it features wide fairways, large reised greens and an abundance of bunkers and water hazards. Los Lagos was aptly named for there are eight lakes in and around the course.
Nonetheless, there is virtually no rough and relatively few trees, giving an overwhelming impression of freedom and space. But players should still be careful, especially at difficult holes like the par five 13th: althhough it looks deceptively easy from the elevated tees its green is protected by water to both the right and the left.
At 6,348 metres off the championship tees, Los Lagos is one of the longest courses on the Costa del Sol. Incidentally, it is the firt club to operate with the new GPS satellite navigation system on its buggies. (How far to the pin? Just a second, I'II chech with the satellite...)
LOS OLIVOS
Los Olivos is the younger of the two courses at Mijas Golf. It too was designed by the Master, Robert Trent Jones Sr. The back nine has just undergone a complete refurbishment, part of Mijas Golf's plan to enable its courses to cope with the 21st century. The rebuild means larger tees, rebuilt bunkers, reseeded fairways and greens with up to 30% more suface area.
Los Olivos has more trees than Los Lagos and covers a slightly more undulating terrain. There are fewer water hazards. The Andalucian-style clubhouse with its grapevine-covered patio is both welcoming and comfortable and the club operates one of the best stocked pro shops on the coast.
