La Cala America is a hilly and brilliant course that is built high up in the hills around La Cala Resort and boasts excellent views because of this marvellous position. La Cala Asia is similar to the America course, except that it is narrower and shorter, but this doesn’t mean that it is easy, as it is actually the most difficult course out of the trio. La Cala Europa was the third and final course to be built at La Cala, and boasts the same excellent features including elevated tees, rolling fairways and big, undulating greens but is a little easier with wider fairways and less penal rough.
With three excellent courses, a superb location and lovely accommodations to enjoy it is no surprise that we recommend this resort for your next stay-and-play break.
