La Cala Golf & Spa Resort

La Cala Resort, apdo.deCorreos 106, La Cala de Mijas, Málaga, 29649 Mijas Costa Spain

The natural features of the La Cala terrain have been used to challenging effect by the renowned golf course architect, Cabell B. Robinson. The three courses are carefully maintained to ensure they are playable all year round. The North Course (now renamed Campo America) is perhaps more difficult than the shorter South (Campo Asia) but both demand great accuracy from the tee and careful club selection. Meanwhile, the third golf course, Campo Europa, uses the River Ojen in making the course distinctive. The layout allows for plenty of water hazards. All three offer different challenges to all levels of golfers and demand good course management in addition to a wide variety of shots.

3ts Charity Event Wales Wins International Final at La Cala

Posted by: Darren Ramowski on Thu 25 Nov 2010

The 3ts Charity stands for “turning the tide on suicide” especially among young males. Padraig Harrington, Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke are among its many supporters.

Each year, the charity holds the 3ts Challenge Golf challenge to help create awareness across more than 1000 golf clubs in Ireland. Each club hosts a competition to select their best male and female players. These two along with their captain and golf professional make up the club team of four players to play in regional qualifiers during the summer. Twelve clubs competed in the national final which was held at the K Club, venue of the 2006 Ryder Cup.

Killerig G.C. from Carlow led by Orla O hEocha emerged as winners to represent Ireland in the International Final at La Cala, Spain’s biggest golf resort. A team from Wales provided the opposition under blue skies and bright sunshine on Campo Asia in early November.
