Our take

Seve's routing at Alhaurin climbs through hilly parkland at Mijas, and the walking is honestly hard work even before the golf starts.

Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.

What you are actually facing

The walk. Hilly — we would take a buggy. 278 metres of climb over eighteen holes.

The wind. The wind is usually south-easterly, averaging 6 km/h. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 3 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Seve Ballesteros.

The holes that will cost you. The 18th, the 11th and the 15th. The 6th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
