Mijas Los Lagos Layout and Challenges
The course has undulating terrain characterised by wide fairways, soft slopes, and minimal forest obstacles. Nine lakes, giving the course its name, pose the main natural hazards on 11 holes. There are also bunkers that protect the large, mostly flat greens.
A diverse selection of mature trees, including casuarinas, araucarias, weeping willows, jacarandas, acacia tipuana, fig trees, and occasional coconut palms, enhances the aesthetic appeal while framing key playing corridors.
New grass specifications feature Hybrid Bermuda Princess 77 on tees, fairways, and rough, paired with Agrostis stolonifera 007 on greens and aprons, promoting playability and visual quality. Additional planting of over 500 trees has enriched the natural surroundings.
Los Lagos is a great choice for golfers of all skill levels. It is challenging enough for experienced players but still fun and accessible for beginners and those with higher handicaps, thanks to different tee options.
