Las Lagunas de Mijas, Spain
Nine lakes influence play on 11 holes at Los Lagos, so water is never far from the decision making. Robert Trent Jones Sr. gave this 18 hole course broad fairways and relatively little rough, allowing a sensible route from the tee, but the lakes, bunkers and mature trees become increasingly relevant as you approach the large, flat greens. The ground is mostly level, making it an easy course to walk, although it still rewards accurate distance control and a confident short game. Designed with competitive golf in mind, Los Lagos will test the lower handicap player while remaining approachable for mixed groups who choose their tees sensibly.
The course covers 52 hectares in the Mijas valley and was the first layout built at Mijas Golf Club, opening in 1976. Its substantial renovation programme renewed the irrigation, drainage, bunkers, roads and grassed areas, helping keep the presentation sharp around the fairways and water margins. A second Robert Trent Jones Sr. course, Los Olivos, is also on site, making the club a useful base for a two round stay without repeating the same test.
Between rounds, the clubhouse occupies a former Andalusian farmhouse, with restaurant terraces looking across the surrounding countryside. The kitchen covers Málaga and Mediterranean cooking alongside familiar Spanish and international dishes, and a menu of the day is available daily from 08:30 to 20:00. Los Lagos sits north of Fuengirola, around 2.2 miles from the sea, while Málaga International Airport and Marbella are each about 20 minutes away.
