Fun Mountain Course with Stunning Views 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 17, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is laid out superbly along a gorgeous mountainscape with breathtaking views of the sunny coast.
Excellent destination for players from cold climates looking for a peaceful winter training ground.
Good course design with a variety of tee shots and some really tricky greens.
Pro shop on-site and multiple competitions organized weekly.
Red tee alternative layout provides more challenge for the pros.
Very beautiful and fun place to play.

Cons:

The loose pebbles on some steep downhill parts make it seem a bit dangerous for some less sure-footed folks.
I suppose it gets pretty dry during the scorching hot summer months, it was lovely in January anyway.

Other Thoughts:

Excellent holiday destination! Can't wait to get back there...

Disc Golf in Andalucía 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-DGP Mijas is the only course in the south of spain (so far), with great views up the mountains and down the coast. The location itself is very scenic.

-The terrain offers huge change in elevation combined with a lot of distance to cover.
Seven of the 18 holes are Par 4's.

-With the change in elevation, distance and tight tree passages, this course is definitely pointed/reccomendable towards advances, experienced players.

-The layout is challenging and was fun to play. Navigating was easy with the printed course-map.
I really enjoyed the second half of the course with more trees and scenic tricky placements.

-There is also a shorter, beginner friendly layout marked by blue stones.

-Teesigns and basket were in good condition.

-The clubhouse offers baverages, food, discs and merch.

Cons:

-For me, the biggest con were the steep fairways you had to walk up/down to your next lie.
I felt a bit uncomfortable and more than normaly exhausted when hiking the cliffy area with loose gravel.

-The loose tees were a con as well as you need a run up to reach the more distant holes.

-You dont want to leave the fairway. Thick thorny bushes and piles rocks will eat you discs. You might also need a spotter at several holes, as the discs tend to roll.

-The flow was ok, but felt a bit awkward at times.

- There was some of trash lying around here and there.

-Wind can become an issue here as you are playing close to the coast.

-The discs tend to wear by the rocky underground.

-10€ to play all day wasn't cheap, but acceptable.

Other Thoughts:

When you are in the south of spain and into Disc Golf, this is your place to go.
The location with its great views, in combination with an ambitious course layout and beautiful basket-placements make this a must play when you are around Malaga.

Make sure to bring good footgear and another person for spotting.

The daily fee is 10€. They also have a weekly/monthly fee.

Adventure in Spain 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Navigation: Great course map, every tee pad has a tee sign, each basket has an arrow to the next tee, if there is a long walk, there are red marks on the ground showing the path.

Elevation: lots of it. Several holes throwing down big hills, one across a valley (#9), one on top of a ridge line (#4), a few going up hill.

Nice layout: good use of terrain, hillsides, curves, trees for the basket and tee locations to create some nice holes.

Clubhouse and communication: The clubhouse is open from 11.00-17.00. They have maps, discs for rental or sale, a log of record rounds from each country, who has gotten aces on which holes, and is staffed by some wonderful folk. I was in the area outside of the open time, but I communicated with the clubhouse via Facebook and was able to get out and play before things opened, and pay for my round after (10 euro). They were also wonderful to talk to after my round to hear about the course and clubhouse history.

Views: Wow. Check it out.

Cons:

Several of the tee pads are rough enough to trip on - rocks coming through (looking at you #6).

Several of the paths between holes are on steeper rocky slopes that can be tricky to navigate (like off of #4 basket). They could use a small stair case or a few logs across the path to help bench the slope.

Many holes have big thorny bushes where discs can go missing. Keep your eyes open!

Other Thoughts:

Roll aways are very possible on several holes. A small net or log/small fence halfway down the hill could really help for some people who have all the bad luck while not taking away from the punishment of missing a putt.

Two holes (#11 and #12) just feel a little forced. They add a different dynamic rather than grip it and rip it, but they just don't match the feel of the course.

All this being said, I'm easily comparing this to any top rated course in the US or Scandinavia, and it is located in Spain! Fantastic to see the sport growing here. Keep it up!
