La Cala America Course overview
Location: Mijas, Costa del Sol, Spain | Style: Parkland | Length: 6,572 yards | Par: 72
The America Course at La Cala Golf Resort is one of southern Spain’s most scenic and enjoyable layouts, offering breathtaking views of the Sierra de Ojén and the Mediterranean Sea. Formerly known as the North Course, this par-72 gem is characterised by dramatic elevation changes, elevated tee shots, and sweeping fairways that follow the natural contours of the Andalusian hillside.
Designed by renowned American architect Cabell B. Robinson, the course makes full use of the rugged terrain, challenging golfers with numerous carries over ravines, strategically placed bunkers, and greens perched well above the fairways. At 6,572 yards from the back tees, the America Course is a stern but fair test of golf that rewards accuracy and thoughtful club selection.
Loved for its panoramic views, forgiving fairways, and thrilling elevation shifts, the America Course is a favourite among visitors to the Costa del Sol for a Spanish golf holiday.
Clubhouse & amenities
The La Cala Clubhouse enhances the experience with a full suite of amenities:
- Fully stocked pro shop with leading golf brands and equipment
- Club hire, buggy rental, and caddie services available
- Expansive practice facilities, including a driving range, putting green, and short game area
- Clubhouse restaurant and bar with views over Campo Asia and the surrounding hills
Signature Holes
One of the most memorable holes is the par-5 6th, with its elevated tee, wide landing area, and a green guarded by bunkers, a risk-reward opportunity for longer hitters. The 9th is also a standout: a par-4 that plays uphill to a raised green, with the surrounding mountains as a striking backdrop.
Did You Know?
After leaving the Robert Trent Jones design company, architect Cabell B. Robinson chose La Cala as the site for two of his first solo projects: the America and Asia Courses. His bold design style and eye for natural beauty shine throughout the layout. In 2005, the Europa Course was added, completing La Cala’s trio of championship courses and making it the largest golf resort in Spain.

"Best of the three courses. Very tricky if you play off the the back tees. Fantastic driving course as many of the tee are elevated. Small greens making 2nd shots into the greens crucial."
