Los Olivos at Mijas Golf Club offers a more compact and technical contrast to its neighbouring Los Lagos course on the Costa del Sol. Redesigned by Cabell B. Robinson in 1984, this par-70 layout features narrower fairways, more pronounced elevation changes and smaller, well-protected greens.

Tree-lined holes place a premium on accuracy from the tee, while water hazards come into play on several key holes, adding to the strategic challenge. The routing is slightly shorter, but demands careful positioning and a strong short game to score well. For those planning a golf break near Mijas or Fuengirola, Los Olivos provides a more precise and thoughtfully designed test.
