Alhaurin Golf Club
Costa del Sol Golf Course
18 holes 6221 Metres Par 72
Located in the Mijas Mountains, close to the village of Mijas and
yet only 30 minutes from Malaga international airport, Alhaurin
Golf Course is surrounded by open areas in a unique natural environment.
Designed by Seve Ballesteros, the course's hilly mountain terrain
would provide a stiff test for even the great man himself! The wild
growing rough is the main danger here, while the strategically placed
bunkers and water hazards are reminiscent of American-style courses.
With majestic views of mountains to the north and of Africa and
the Mediterranean to the south, this is a fine course in a lovely
natural setting.
The fairways are long and narrow which means you will need to hit
an accurate drive if you don’t want to end up in the water
hazards or the numerous bunkers and bushes. Having said that, the
level of difficulty of the course can be adapted to all levels because
of the versatile nature of the tees which offer up to 6 tee-off
positions. The fourth, a par 4, has 2 bunkers on the right and 3
trees in the middle of the fairway - Seve has a sense of humour.
While it has a magnificent setting with spectacular views, the
course demands accuracy - or a bag of balls!
Facilities at Alhaurin Golf Club include:- Driving range, practice
bunkers and greens, tuition, pro shop, restaurant and bar, clubhouse.
