The opening drive here should reach the concave landing area in order to set up the second shot to the green. A bunker left and 08 to the right are factors but the area between is fairty wide. The short iron second shot must carry the valley to reach a green well bunkered on the left. Both the front and back lett pin positions are difficult.

The fairway on this short part 4 cents sharply to the left so the best drive will be beyond this slope and into the hillside leading up to the green. Short of driving the green itself, all approaches will be uphill to a small terraced putting surface protected in front by grassy hollows.

With a severe drop down to the pear-shaped green, distance judgment will be a critical factor. A large horseshoe bunker surrounds the narrow pack pin position and a soft swale through the middle of the green can often lead to more than two putts.

The 4 handicap rating on this short hole is well deserved. From the back tees the drive must carry some grunkle to a slightly elevated. U-shaped landing area bunkered on the right Better players can out the comer on the left but the awkward lies which may result make this option questionable. The left-hand pin positions above the bunker on this small green are the most challenging. but there is much more room off to the fight.

Dramatic tee shot on this reachable par 5 (Mijas Pueblo in the distance). Playing over the nest of five bunkers can increase the length of the drive, setting up a shorter 2nd shot approach to the green. A safer line is over the farthest right of these bunkers, from there the fairway tumbles down through swales and hollows to a green set on the bias with water all along the left rear. The best lay-up area is between the last two fairway bunkers as this area will afford a better lie.

Drives from the back tees must carry part of the greenside lake on #5. Regardless of which tee is used, a long drive is required on this hole to get beyond the nest of bunkers defending the dogleg on the left. Short of this area results in a blind shot to the green. 08 is a threat along the right side. This one is without bunkers but its perched location and small size demand an accurate second shot.

An uphill par 3 with 08 along the right and dense grunkle to the left. A large cork oak guards the left front of the green. Be sure to take enough club as in spite of the bunkers behind the green. long and/or slightly right will afford a better chance at par than being short.

This is a nice driving hole with the best line over the carry bunker as there is considerable room out to the right. Avoid the left-hand bunkers. The fairway drops sharply down and then up to a slightly elevated green. Long drives can take advantage of this downhill slope. but keeping the drive up in the landing area will provide a better stance for the second shot. The green is wide but not very deep and the difficult left-hand pin position is protected by the swale bisecting the putting surface.

The drive here should be directed to the 4 pines up on the hillside on the left in order to avoid the semi-blind protective bunkers on the right. The second shot plays strongly downhill across a band of grunkle to a hummocky faimay rising steadily up to the green. The nest of bunkers on the left should only cause trouble for severely-pulled shots. The elevated green is well bunkered to the right and the rear.

The drive from the elevated tees should favor the right side to allow the ball to kick down into the center of the landing area. The second shot must carry the intervening valley to a tiered landing area hemmed in by houses left and grunkle to the right. The elevated green is bunkered left, and right rear. The diagonal terrace across the green sets up some interesting pin positions.

Spectacular drive from the elevated tees down to an L-shaped green. The entry is defended by the upward sloping fairway, and the narrower rear part of the green by a horseshoe of bunkers. A transverse swale separating the front and rear platforms renders the choice of club critical.

The drive on this tricky par 4 should be aimed to the right to allow the hillside to work the ball down to the center of this valley-like fairway and away from the bunkers of the left. The approach is slightly downhill and across a small pond to a wide but shallow green. An alternate approach is available to the left of the lake but this brings the left-hand green bunker into play. Despite its length, par here is a good score.

A forced carry from the back tees to a reasonably wide fairway. Bunkers and OB lurk to the right. and pulled drives will result in a blind approach over trees and bunkers. The slightly downhill approach shot to a well-bunkered green on the bias is one of the more attractive shots on the course.

An inviting elevated tee shot down to a wide concave fairway shared on the left with N° 13. Length, though not critical, is advantageous for a slightly better view to the elevated putting surface. The flattish putting surface can produce birdies, but the small green size combined with the defending slopes and bunkers demand a precise approach.

The elevated tees will tempt most players to over-hit their drive. Many balls are to be found in the impenetrable grunkle both left and right, Two cork oaks can cause problems even for good drives down the left side. The short approach shot to the elevated green should keep the ball below the pin as there is a considerable back-to-front slope on the putting surface.

The smart choice of club on this short dog-leg left par 5 is a fairway metal/long iron toward the right side of the fairway bunker. Trying to cut the comer with a longer drive will see most shots run through the fairway into oblivion. The green is reachable in two with even a moderate drive and there is more fairway out on the left than would appear. Mounds and a deep hollow guard the entry to this relatively flat green. The front pin position is the most difficult.

The spectacularly elevated back tee requires nearly a full carry to a small green nestled in a valley surrounded by lush vegetation and well-defended by bunkers and grassy hollows. The more forward tees require a smaller carry, but the small triangular-shaped green is equally well-defended from this line of play as well.

A challenging uphill dogleg right finishing hole. Better players wn cut the comer, risking both grunkle and 08 if they get too greedy. A safer line is toward the second fairway bunker on the left. Be sure to allow enough club for the uphill approach shot to this small, blind and softly terraced green.
