sergiostheman's Review of Cala De Mijas, Calanova Golf Course
10th Sep 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
We've had an annual golf trip to the Costa Del Sol now for over a decade and played Calanova for the first time in March 09.
This is a course basically built on the side of a very, very steep hill! The course itself is spread out over a huge area, with some of the biggest distances I've ever seen between some greens and tees. I hate using a buggy, but here a buggy IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
Tee to green, due to a lack of water in our opinion, the course is very baron. 2 words used by one of our group summed it up perfectly - "scruffy" and "parched".
The greens were absolutely diabolical. Rock hard to start with, but that was minor. They clearly have trouble with the locals, half a dozen greens were badly vandalised with slogans burnt into them with weed killer or similar. The 13th in particular was a real mess and should have been closed. There was no mention of any of this I might add prior to play.
Add to this problems with locals running on the course on holes adjacent to the hotel/apartments and roadside stealing your ball from the fairway, and you can imagine we weren't overly impressed.
Prior to play, the staff were quite pleasant. We told the same staff afterwards of our experiences and they simply weren't interested - they'd had our money, so that was that. Of course, in the long run it is Calanova that will lose out.
Our verdict? A unanimous NEVER AGAIN!
