Miraflores Golf on the Costa del Sol Golf, is situated between Mijas and Marbella on the Costa del Sol, Spain and the surrounding countryside is like that of most of the golf courses in the area, quite spectacular with views of both the sea and the mountains.

Many species of birds nest around its lakes, thus enhancing the natural beauty of the course.

Designed by Falco Nardi, the golf course was opened to the public in 1990. It is very pleasant and full of interesting challenges for all golfers, whatever their handicap may be.

Miraflores Golf Course has numerous water hazards so concentration is very important as any mistake, however small, could lead to the loss of the ball.

The 570m par-5 12th hole is the most difficult hole of all. The lake in the middle of the fairways makes for a tricky second shot.

The 520m par-5 6th and the 480m par-5 14th holes are also worth a mention.

Water also divides the fairway on the 570 metre 12th and a water hazard forms a protective moat around the green on the 15th.

Miraflores Golf fairways and greens are maintained in lush splendor throughout the year, and water is supplied from three artificial ponds which come into play on four holes.

Olive trees also form part of the charm and design of Miraflores Golf as some of the fairways are lined with trees making them seem narrower than they seam.

The Golf Academy offers tuition for everyone, from the outright beginner to the most discerning low-handicap golfer wishing to hone his skills.

The Miraflores Golf Restaurant is in the heart of the Miraflores Golf Course. were diners enjoy spectacular views from the terrace, renowned for the quality of its food, it is a must place to visit.
