La Cala Resort
The beating heart of golf nearby is La Cala Resort, a few minutes from the village. With three full 18-hole championship courses (America, Asia and Europa) it ranks among the largest golf complexes in Spain. The courses sit beautifully in the hills, with fairways among olive trees and views of the Sierra de Mijas.
There is also a resort hotel, a spa and an extensive practice facility, ideal for a golf week. Prefer to stay in a spacious penthouse nearby? Read about Coral Mijas Stay in Riviera del Sol.
Golf academy and level
La Cala has a renowned golf academy with a driving range, practice greens and lessons, suitable for beginners and advanced players. The three courses differ in character and difficulty, so there is a fitting challenge for every level, from a relaxed round to a demanding championship layout.
Beginner? Book a few lessons or a gentler course. Experienced player? You will appreciate the rolling, technical holes. Ask when booking for the course that suits your handicap.
Courses nearby
Besides La Cala Resort there are plenty of options within a fifteen-minute drive: Calanova, La Siesta, Miraflores, Santana Golf, El Chaparral and the Mijas Golf courses (Los Lagos and Los Olivos). That lets you play a different course every day for a whole week without travelling far.
A complete overview of the coast's golf is in our wider golf guide for the Costa del Sol.
Green fees and the season
Green fees vary widely by course and season. Spring and autumn are peak golf season, with the highest rates and the most demand; summer and winter are often cheaper and quieter. Book well ahead in high season, especially for the popular morning tee times.
Thanks to the mild climate you can golf all year. Which month is best for you is in our guide on the weather and best time to visit.
Practical: golf from La Cala
The beauty of La Cala is that you golf in the morning and lie on the beach in the afternoon, all a few minutes apart. Bring your own clubs or hire them on site; buggies are available at most courses. A hire car is handy to switch between courses.
After the round, taste the Andalusian cuisine in the village; see our guide to restaurants in La Cala de Mijas.
