How to get there:

The America, Asia and Europa courses are situated west of Fuengirola at exit km201 La Cala de Mijas. Take first exit and follow signs for La Cala Resort. From Marbella the exit is km200 Cala de Mijas. Go into the centre of this village turn left at roundabout, under the main A7/N340 and follow signs for La Cala Resort. It is approx 10 minutes inland from this point and is very well signposted.

La Cala Resort boasts three 18-hole championship courses designed by the renowned Cabell Robinson, a star pupil of the legendary Robert Trent Jones. It also has a top quality six-hole par 3 layout that is attached to the Golf Academy. With a four-star hotel and properties to rent, the visiting player or group need never leave the resort to enjoy a varied and thoroughly enjoyable golfing experience.

A round of golf in any of the La Cala courses is an unforgettable experience. Alright, you may lose a few balls, your temper, your friends (temporarily) or all three but one thing you won’t lose is the memory of some of the most spectacular scenery to be found in any golf course in any part of the world. Set in a nature reserve, surrounded by mountains and the Mediterranean, the courses are carved amidst breathtaking scenery that will remain with you along after the final scores are tallied.

The three 18-hole courses offer different challenges. Campo America hosted the Ladies European Tour Q-school in 2005 and 2006. It is longer than the tight, challenging Campo Asia. This course welcomed the top Spanish professionals in 2007 for 18th PGA Spanish Pairs Championship, won by Miguel Ángel and Andrés Jimenéz. Campo Europa opened in 2005 and has already drawn much favourable comment from the top players who regularly play and practice in La Cala.

The par 3 course offers a great opportunity for beginners and experienced players alike to practice. It is quite challenging and offers views to the Mediterranean.
