| Designed by Robert Trent Senior, Mijas Golf, Los Olivos course, the main feature which distinguishes this course from The Lakes is the abundance of trees hence the name and its smaller size, as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Although Mijas Los Olivos course and Mijas Los Lagos course are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two courses: if Los Lagos course is based on hazards of water and sand, Los Olivos course is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens. Both courses pay homage to the architect's philosophy difficult Par, easy Bogey, with very little rough, plenty of water and relatively flat. The Mijas Club House is an old Andalusian cortijo (farmhouse), and beside it, one can feel the continual buzz on the terraces of the Restaurant, where the variety of our clientele can be noticed. |

| Patrizia's comment: |
Except for the holes 13 and 14, going up and down the hill, Mijas Los Olivos course is a flat course more enjoyable walking. Los Olivos is a course best suited for players gifted with a higher technical ability and precision in their game. |
