XXI La Cala Golf World Open

Campo Asia

Andalucía, Spain

Measuring 5,925 metres and playing to a par 72, Campo Asia is the oldest and most respected of La Cala Resort's three championship courses. The course was designed by architect Cabell B. Robinson and opened in 1991. The course is renowned for its challenging design that prioritises strategy and precision, particularly on approach shots. Narrow and compact, the course's four par 5 holes demand skillful play and careful planning, making it a favourite among seasoned golfers and professionals. Campo Asia is located at Urb. La Cala Golf, Mijas Costa, 29649 Málaga. The course requires more accuracy from the tee and careful planning to shoot a good score. Water features grace the greens at the 3rd and 14th holes. The 5th features an inviting tee shot with a sweeping left to right fairway. The 9th is a risk and reward par 5 where long hitters can choose to drive over the steep drop to set up a reachable 2nd, or take the conservative play of a 200-metre shot left of the bunkers. The 11th is a memorable par 3 with steep elevation from tee to green along with spectacular views of the Sierra de Mijas and Mediterranean coastline. Campo Asia was the first of the three La Cala courses to be remodelled with Bermuda Grass greens in 2019, and the successful trial was then adopted for the other two layouts.
