The Mijas Town Hall is once again committed to golf as a way of promoting the municipality as a tourist destination. The municipality will be once again the venue for the Club Series Golf, as it will host one of the tournaments in addition to the grand national final. This event has become the benchmark of national golf at amateur level.

This was announced on Wednesday 9th of April by the mayoress of the municipality, Ana Mata, who explained that in this way the municipality will become the focus of attention for golf lovers. Club Series Golf Unicaja ‘Race to Mijas’, of which the Mijas Town Hall is a sponsor, consists of a regular phase of eleven tournaments that are taking place in Seville (March 22nd), Almería (April 5th), Cáceres (May 10th), Toledo (May 31st), Gijón (June 19th), Santander (June 21st), Cádiz (July 19th), Mijas (August 23rd), Marbella (September 13th), Madrid (October 2nd) and Salamanca (Octobe 18th), as well as the final, which Mijas will also host and which will see the finalists of each of the tournaments of this regular phase, which will take place on the 29th of November. All this means a total of over 1,500 participants.

 

Mijas, as the venue of the Club Series Golf Final, is present in all the tournaments of the circuit, not only through advertising on the golf courses themselves and the communication of the event, but also in its special prize ‘Race to Mijas’, which rewards the scratch winner in each of the tournaments. The winners of this prize will go to the National Final, like the rest of the finalists, and will play in the Guest Tournament that will take place in Mijas.

From 28th to 30th November, the National Final will be held in Mijas, including two nights accommodation at La Zambra Resort, for each finalist and its companion, and the competition day at Mijas Golf Los Lagos. The closing of the event will take place at La Zambra Resort with a cocktail-dinner, the prize-giving ceremony and a final party. "The golf segment is absolutely strategic for Mijas. Not only because of the number of courses but also because of the quality of the courses, characteristics that place us in a very privileged position to attract a visitor that brings great benefits to our municipality. For all these reasons we will continue to support this sector as we have been doing so far", explained the mayoress.

 

Mata recalled that the Costa del Sol is a benchmark in the world of golf, with more than 70 courses, making it the destination in continental Europe with the highest concentration of courses. Mijas has more than 17%, being the second municipality with the largest offer.

For his part, Alfonso Castro, director of Club Series, wanted to highlight Mijas' commitment to the golf segment in general and to this circuit in particular, which he described as “the best amateur golf circuit in Spain”: “The image of Mijas as a first class golf destination has been strengthened”.
