La Cala Golf Course

La Cala is one of the toughest courses one the Costa de Sol and a good challenge for medium and low handicap players

On the North course the first four holes are trouble free and a nice way to easy yourself in to what lays ahead.

The first difficult hole is the 6th (par 5), if you have your driver working by now you can cut the corner of the dog leg of the ravine and lay up for a easy approach to the green. To score well for the rest of the course accuracy is a lot more important that length. If you do need to pull back a hole you can take a risk on the 9th (par 5) where the green is reachable in 2 if you cut of the corner and carry the water with your second shot. The back nine is all about keeping your ball on the fairway. A nice hole for nearest the pin in the 16th par 3 and for the longest drive try the elevated 7th tee par 4.

The club has a nice terrace bar overlooking the 18th South course or there is Mulligans Irish pub down in La Cala village which does a nice pint.
