Mijas Has Nine Golf Clubs and Thirteen Courses, Which Is Why You See Both Numbers

Mijas has nine golf clubs and thirteen courses between them, which is why you will see both figures quoted and neither one is wrong. La Cala Resort runs three eighteen-hole courses plus a six-hole academy on one site, Mijas Golf Internacional runs two, and the other seven clubs have one apiece – nine gates, twelve full courses, thirteen once the academy is counted.

That density is the real story here. Green fees run from around €30 for nine holes to €135 at the autumn peak, and the gap between the resort courses and the short municipal-feeling nine-holers is wider than anywhere else on this coast. One course, Los Olivos, is closed for refurbishment with no reopening date published.

Every course in Mijas

Two notes on that table before you plan a budget around it.

La Siesta's published par of 54 is the two-circuit figure – nine par-3 holes played twice. It is a genuine short course rather than a scaled-down championship layout, and no green fee appears on any source we could check.

Miraflores is the one course where the money genuinely does not agree. Quoted rates for eighteen holes range from about €36 to about €68 depending on where you look, with no single published tariff to settle it. Ring the club rather than trusting a broker page.

It is not alone in that. A second source puts La Cala Resort at €70 to €126 across the year rather than the €91-to-€131 the 2026 broker table quotes, and Calanova's own tariff page runs €85 to €130 where the broker shows €75. Where the club publishes its own rates, that is the number to trust.

Green fees here do not have a season

This matters more than the individual numbers. Every figure above is the rate one operator published for one dated window in 2026 – not a "high season price", because the clubs do not agree on when high season is.

Santana's peak bands run into the autumn. Chaparral's prime time is September to November. La Cala's rate climbs by roughly €40 between August and the first week of September. On this coast the expensive months are the shoulder ones, when the weather turns playable and northern Europe arrives, and a July tee time is often the cheapest of the year.

So treat the table as dated examples to compare clubs against each other, and get a quote for your actual dates before committing.

Which one to book

La Cala Resort is the default answer if you want a week of golf without moving the car. Three eighteen-hole courses – América, Asia and Europa – plus a six-hole par-3 academy on one site, and the quoted fee includes the buggy, which is not true everywhere here.

Mijas Golf – Los Lagos is the one with the history. A Robert Trent Jones Sr design that opened in 1976, before this stretch of coast had a golf industry at all, it is the course everything else here was built around. Par 72, and priced below the resort courses.

Santana Golf & Country Club is the parkland option and the one whose rate climbs hardest into autumn – though it is also the course whose price nobody agrees on, quoted anywhere from "from €78" to €135 depending on the source and the window.

Chaparral Golf Club is the forest layout, cut through pine, and it has the most unusual card in the municipality: six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s, an even split almost no course commits to. It also prices its summer twilight rounds well below its September-to-November prime time, which makes it the clearest example here of playing the same course for a very different number.

Calanova sits in the middle on price and publishes a wider seasonal range on its own tariff page than the brokers quote, which is worth checking directly.

For the shorter end: La Noria at La Cala de Mijas is the cheapest real round in the municipality at around €30 for nine holes in high summer. Cerrado del Águila bundles a buggy into its summer rate. Miraflores, up in the Calahonda hills, is a full eighteen holes and open 365 days a year, which no other course here claims.

Los Olivos is closed

The second course at Mijas Golf Internacional, Los Olivos – eighteen holes, par 71 – is closed for refurbishment, and no reopening date has been published.

This matters because Mijas Golf is normally sold as a two-course club, and booking sites still describe it that way. If you are choosing it for the variety of playing two different layouts on one membership or one package, that is not currently what you would get. Los Lagos is open and unaffected.

The 2026 maintenance closures

Several clubs have published dated shutdowns for greens work this year, which is the kind of thing that ruins a booked morning:

• Santana: 2–7 August and 1–3 September 2026
• Chaparral: late May, and 31 August–1 September 2026
• La Noria: 21–27 September 2026

Nothing published for the others, which is not the same as nothing happening – confirm on the day you book, particularly in the shoulder months when most greens work gets scheduled.

Staying here for the golf

Two of the coast's better golf bases are inside Mijas rather than Marbella, and both are covered in the Costa del Sol golf resorts guide, which handles the golf-and-stay package angle properly.

If you want to compare where to sleep across the whole municipality rather than just the golf properties, the Mijas hotels guide sets out the pueblo and coastal options side by side. And if golf is only part of the trip, the things to do in Mijas guide explains the village-versus-coast split that decides how much driving your week involves.
