About this course

La Cala Resort's America course, designed by Cabell B. Robinson and opened in the mid-1990s, forms part of one of Europe's largest golf complexes in the hills above Mijas Costa on Spain's Costa del Sol. Robinson, known for his work throughout the Mediterranean and his ability to shape dramatic terrain, routed the America course through rolling hillside topography with elevation changes that provide views across the Andalusian landscape toward the Mediterranean. The layout takes advantage of natural contours and incorporates strategic bunkering and water features that require thoughtful course management. The course plays through a mix of pine and olive trees characteristic of the region, with fairways that move across sloping ground and greens positioned to emphasize the property's natural movement. Robinson's design asks players to navigate doglegs and approach angles shaped by the terrain, with several holes playing significantly uphill or downhill. The routing creates variety in shot requirements and visual interest through the changing elevations. La Cala Resort operates as a destination facility with multiple courses, practice areas, and lodging, drawing both resort guests and visiting golfers exploring the Costa del Sol's concentration of golf properties. The America course, along with its companion layouts Asia and Europe, contributes to the resort's position as a multi-course venue in a region known for year-round playability and its density of golf options within the broader Marbella-Málaga corridor.

Getting there

The gateway to La Cala Resort is Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), a sun-drenched arrival point just thirty minutes west along the A-7 coastal motorway. The drive climbs gently inland from the Mediterranean shoreline, trading the glittering sea views for the rolling hills and whitewashed villages of the Mijas countryside, where olive groves and citrus orchards frame the approach. As the road winds into the quieter folds of Andalucía's coastal sierra, the resort emerges as a sprawling sanctuary of manicured fairways and terracotta-roofed villas - a secluded golf haven perched between the mountains and the Costa del Sol's legendary coastline.
