Golf courses near to Macdonald Leila Playa
Europa Golf Course
at La Cala Golf Resort
La Cala Europa is probably the most forgiving of the three golf courses at La Cala with its wide, spacious fairways and grander greens. Also, not to mention the fact that it’s easier to walk around than the other two courses at the golf club.
America Course
at La Cala Golf Resort
La Cala America is one of the most enjoyable golf courses in the region. The exciting landscape has you playing from elevated tees, across cavernous carries and negotiating fantastically undulating fairways.
Calanova Golf Course
at Calanova Golf Club
Calanova Golf Course is a par-72 parkland golf course set amongst the beautiful Mijas Sierra. It is extremely open, with gorgeous views over the sea and is free from hidden hazards so doesn’t penalise errant shots.
Asia Golf Course
at La Cala Golf Resort
Built in the mountainous landscape of the region, the Asia Course at La Cala Golf is an interesting layout where the focus is predominantly on the approach shots. The course is tight and challenging, but a good test of visitors to La Cala Resort.
