Location in Mijas, Costa del Sol

Mijas Los Olivos Layout and Challenges

The characteristic of Los Olivos lies in its abundance of trees, particularly olive trees. This gives the course its name and creates a more tree-lined environment compared to the water-focused Los Lagos.

Measuring approximately 5,875 meters from the white tees with a par of 70/71. Narrow fairways demand accurate driving. The smaller, undulating, and well-defended greens require precise approach shots and strong short shots.

Elevated greens add an extra layer of difficulty, rewarding players who can control distance and trajectory. The layout suits golfers with higher technical ability and precision.

Bermuda 419 grass covers the tees, fairways, and rough. Penncross grass is used on the greens and aprons, ensuring the playing surfaces remain in good condition year-round.
