In many ways Los Olivos represents the
antithesis of Los Lagos.
Also a Robert Trent Jones design it is younger (1984) and
shorter than its sister course but also there is less
water here, the fairways are more narrow, there are more
trees and generally it is more undulating. Greens are
smaller and many are elevated. The par 3 fourteenth is
the most spectacular hole, with magnificent panoramic
views from the raised tees. The small green, which is
tucked away below and protected by three bunkers, demands
an 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 and
there are regular competitions to keep everyone
interested. The Andalucian style clubhouse is similarly
welcoming and comfortable. |
