Miraflores Golf Course
Overview
Miraflores Golf Course, along the Mediterranean coastline in Riviera del Sol, stands as one of the Costa del Sol’s most charming and accessible 18-hole layouts. Designed by Folco Nardi in 1990, this par-71 course measures 5,006 meters from the white tees. It offers a welcoming yet strategic challenge suitable for golfers of all abilities.
Its compact, undulating terrain and lovely sea views make it a standout destination for those searching for the best golf courses in Mijas Costa or scenic 18-hole golf in Costa del Sol.
Course Layout and Challenges at Miraflores Golf Course
Miraflores is different from many longer golf courses in the Costa del Sol. It focuses more on precise shots than on hitting the ball far. The fairways are narrow and lined with trees like pines, palms, and carob trees, which means you need to be accurate when you tee off. There are also many water hazards, raised greens, and bunkers that will challenge your approach shots and short game.
The first half of the course flows smoothly through neighbourhoods. The second half becomes more exciting, featuring steep ravines, beautiful lakes, and waterfalls that make the course both stunning and challenging.
Signature Holes at Miraflores Golf Course
The par-3 6th hole is widely regarded as the course’s postcard moment. An island green surrounded by water and flowers that requires a pinpoint iron shot with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. Equally memorable is the risk-reward par-5 15th. Bold players can attempt to carry a lake to reach the green in two. Conservative golfers lay up and face a delicate wedge over water. These signature holes at Miraflores Golf Course consistently rank among the most photographed on the Costa del Sol.
