Miraflores golf course has recently undergone a major structural transformation and is now considered one of the premier golfing resorts within the Costa del Sol golf region. Located only kilometers from the major N340 highway, the Miraflores golf club is located between Mijas and Marbella and is easily accessed from Benalmadena and should most definitely be considered on any Benalmadena golf holiday.

Miraflores golf club is situated 19.5 kilometers to the west of Benalmadena. The short 20 minute care ride required to reach the golf course takes in some of the beautiful Costa del Sol Spanish countryside and will be over in a breeze. The Miraflores golf course is set within the pristine hills behind the Miraflores golf resort and from the course you will be presented with panoramic views of the gorgeous surrounding mountainside all the way through to the Medittaranean Sea.

Miraflores Golf Fairway

By todays standards Miraflores is a very short hill side golf course measuring in at 5113 meters from the championship tees. It is a par 71 course, designed in the late 1980′s be golf architect Falco Nardi and opened for public golfers in 1990. The course is located in the hills above Mijas Costa and as such has successfully incorporated the soft undulating hillsides into the course design.

This beautiful Costa del Sol golf course will especially appeal to those creative golfers who enjoy the challenge of having to use their imagination to naviagate their way around the course. Miraflores has a multitude of elevated tees and greens, doglegs and lateral hazards that emphasize the need to consider club selection and shot placement in order to maximize the golfers chance of success around the course.

This Benalmadena golf course is well suited for a whole family experience due to the short length of the course. Ladies and children will not be overly intimidated by the course, while those experienced low handicappers will find the tight fairways challenging and the risk/reward of cutting dog legs really beneficial leading to many birdie and eagle opportunities (or potentially bogeys and double bogeys!).

Probably the most exciting thing about golf at Miraflores is that the price is much more competitive and economical than the other Costa del Sol golf courses. While prices at a course like Torrequebrada may be upwards of 100 euros, Miraflores golf course is one of Spain golfs hidden gems, costing only 36.50 euros for 18 holes of golf! Prices are reduced further if you play during the twilight hours after 5pm everyday.

Miraflores Golf Course – Featured Holes

Miraflores Golf

Miraflores golf course contains a wide variety of truly breathtaking holes that will provide a challenge to even the most competitive of golfers. There are enough hazards, slopes and doglegs to ensure that this Spanish golf course will test you time and time again.

The holes to really enjoy while playing Miraflores golf course in our opinion…

Hole 8 is a 277 meter par 4 that offers a great challenge to all golfers. What makes this hole so tricky is that OOB is in play all the way up the left hand side of the fairway, yet you’ll need to take at least 3 wood to give yourself a short iron left into the green. The fairway is narrow and if you lose your shot to the right you will be rewarded with trees, trees and a few more trees. The view of the mountains from this hole is extraordinary.

Hole 15 is a short 120 meter par 3 that is completely surrounded by water, much like the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. While very short you must be laser like with your accuracy otherwise you will definitely find the water. Overshoot the landing area and your ball is also just as likely to trickle off the back of the green leaving you wet as well. This is one of the most picturesque holes on Miraflores and quite possibly the most fun.
