👍👍 Under New Management Annette and I have visited this place on many occasions in our 25 year history. We enjoy most, if not all, of the entertainment that is provided here during the summer months and the Christmas festivities also look good although we've booked and planned elsewhere. The location... People often mention good, staff, great, drinks, menu, golf, friendly, Lovely, entertainment, time,

We enjoy most, if not all, of the entertainment that is provided here during the summer months and the Christmas festivities also look good although we've booked and planned elsewhere. The location is easy to find and offers ample parking. Just off the Coin Road, Las Lagunas near Fuengirola.

    First time we have visited and was lucky we went on entertainment night. We just went in for a cocktail and ended up staying for dinner and more drinks. Definitely worth a visit and will be returning. Staff and Manager all very friendly. 👍

    Having used the restaurant for more than 30 years, last night has changed my opinion. 2 of the previous owners were personal friends and have enjoyed the time we visited. The menu is on the table as a place mat I ordered a prawn cocktail and a pint of beer, 3 prawns only in the dish beer half a litre. To follow I ordered a pizza, and beer, same thing half a litre, pizza was good. Asked for the bill, the prawns on the menu 7-75 on the bill 9-75 same with the pizza 7-25 on the bill 9-25 I asked why and was told menu no other explanation I paid and left

    We’ve dined here on odd occasions over the past 18 years as our casa is nearby and each time I vow never to bother returning. The place has barely changed in all that time. It’s dreary with no atmosphere, the menu is uninspiring and the quality of the food is poor. I always feel like I can’t wait to leave! The only positive thing is the view across the golf course. * Just heard that the restaurant has changed hands! Fantastic news! Will definitely go back soon for a new experience!

    What a total nightmare. This place should be a goldmine. Yet the present owners still don't have it right. We attended a function and everything was a shambles from the service to the food. The D.J was great but organised by the host . Its expensive and no one seems to know what they're doing. As much as the staff tried it was just a disaster. I hope they improve.

    Really friendly staff. Lovely lager! And beautiful setting, over looking Mijas Golf and mountains. Food prices aren’t cheap but you’re paying for quality. We had fish n chips and it’s one of the best we’ve ever had.

    All round fantastic place with great views. Lots of different activities, including tennis and spa. Great service, food and cocktails. Could easily have spent another week there with my great friends! Would love to go back!

    What a terrible experience never again. Owner has no clue on customer service and hospitality seems to be learning on the job. Waited ages for drinks then food offered no pre dinner olives or anything. Sat for an hour with nothing. would not return and then chased for payment of 2 drinks after waiting for an hour We should have charged for our time ! This man has owned the bar for 3 years so please discount any good reviews earlier than that as it is not him.

    Shame they had to move but the food is still great and the owners couldn't do enough for us

    Lovely friendly staff. Only had drinks there so I can't rate the food.

    There is a nice chap who seems to be the Manager who is polite and friendly. A good start. If you are getting drinks only then this is a nice place to be. However if you are planning to eat here, be prepared for a very poor experience. The menu is ok at best - lots of pizza and pasta options (probably taking up two thirds of the main course menu choices) so a shadow of El Golf from the past. We were a table of 7, arriving at 830pm. Starters took over 30 minutes to arrive. When they did, we had to remind the waiter of our order for Camembert and even after what was a 40 min wait by this time, it was stone cold throughout. Had to send it back, but no offer of a replacement. Chips ordered with the main meal also arrived with the starter so needed to send them back. Main courses arrived after 1 hour 45 minutes. So so late but no real acknowledgment. Food was generally ok but the chicken and mushroom pasta was not great. At the end of the evening the owner came to us and said he understood we did not enjoy the pasta. My mother in law politely explained that she felt it was quite dry and too salty, but the owner told her she was wrong!! I then said we waited 1hr 45 for the main course (noting young children at the table) and he said “well you can look at the golf course”. The owner came across as rude and belligerent. Seems to be too set in his ways yet doesn’t seem to understand why every other local restaurant (Hoyo 19, Atoro and La Morena) are all full whereas El Golf is miles off that. Sadly, despite being just up the road, we won’t be returning for food again. So many better options available.

    Had dinner there two evenings. Starters were ok and nice (pil-pil and shrimpcoctail) Both evenings the main course was not ok. I ordered Sirloin steak and Angus Entrecote. Both not tender, too well done. And I had to waite at least ten minutes for the pepper sauce after I was served the steak. It seerms like its not only the kitchen having challenges.. The staff brought food and drinks to the tables, but they did not know which table to be served. They really need a lesson and better meat. They advertize Angus - I dont know if it's an undcle som what..

    Good food but staff too busy to serve us desert. Managed to wave one down for drinks and condiments. Gave up waiting for bill and got up and went to bar to ask. Such a shame as it could have been our local. 2 waiters not enough,And not their fault.

    Excellent location looking into los lagunas golf course. The staff are the friendliest and very welcoming , especially the owner .excellent food and choice . The prawn pil pil is the best on the coast. All other meals we have had have been top notch . Can’t wait to visit again. 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The restaurant that has moved, I cannot comment on. The restaurant that is there now is very good and overlooks the golf course. Great food with indoor and outdoor dining. Easy to park.

  • 5/5 Alan Roy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the location right on the edge of the golf course with a good selection of food and drinks. They even had live music when we were there which made a great end to the day Will definitely be going back!

    Nice for a drink

  • 4/5 Mark H. 5 years ago on Google
    Reasonable. Wouldn't win any awards but quality and quantity was decent. My only criticism is, in the area we was in, could have done with air con.

  • 5/5 Gill H. 8 years ago on Google
    We have always had good food and excellent service here. Slightly confused by opening times as we've always eaten late evening.

  • 5/5 Martin J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food at a reasonable price. Friendly and helpful serving staff.

  • 5/5 Sinead R. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Lovely staff. Reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Ray M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and a fair choice to suit most people, including a child's menu. Fair prices, friendly staff, the only downer for me, is it can take a while to get served, as I think staffing levels need to be addressed at busy times, other than that its a great place for a night out. Excellent top class live entertainment most Saturdays (booking advisable) on the outside stage with the backdrop of a large lake on mijas golf. Also a good place to watch the many bats flying overhead at dusk on the way to feeding over the golf course. Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Lesley G. 2 years ago on Google
    Under new ownership, owner and staff very welcoming. Food is good but perhaps needs a few tweaks here and there. However thier Saturday entertainment nights are very popular with the locals, which is always a good sign.

    Food is lovely, staff and owner are lovely and so accomadating. Went here 4 times on holiday as they were so nice, had nice food and entertainment twice a week. Would recommend El Golf for a good night out.
