El Chaparral Golf

El Chaparral Golf Club is located just ten minutes drive from the center of the popular beach resort of Fuengirola and has become one of the most recognisable golf courses on the Costa del Sol.

El Chaparral golf has become a sought-after destination for golf groups visiting the area on their golf holidays.

The course offers stunning scenery that can be admired from nearly every hole. Magnificent sea views, lush vegetation, and the aromatic scent of pine trees have transformed El Chaparral into a natural sanctuary and a golfer's paradise.

Designed by renowned architect Pepe Gancedo, the 18-hole course enjoys a privileged location close to the sea, embraced by a pine forest.

El Chaparral stands out as the only course on the Costa del Sol composed of 6 par 5s, 6 par 4s, and 6 par 3s. Though not excessively long at 5,800 meters, it presents a wide variety of holes that are enjoyed by players of all skill levels. It demands skill and precision, with impeccably conditioned greens that maintain their excellent quality throughout the year.

While the first hole is picturesque, it immediately tests your nerves as you must clear a large ravine to have any chance of reaching the green in two shots.

Memorable holes at El Chaparral Golf Club include the 8th, a dogleg left. The elevated tees are encompassed by a canopy of pine trees from all sides. Skilled players attempt to carry the corner and position their shots beyond a tree situated in the middle of the fairway. A mishit tee shot could result in losing your ball in the hazard that runs along the entire right-hand side of the hole. A slightly faded tee shot typically sets up a clear second shot to the green.

The Par 5 – 17th hole is a peculiar yet captivating challenge. Elevated tees provide a panoramic view of the entire hole. A straight tee shot is essential to leave the ball near the end of the driving range opposite, offering the possibility of going directly over the trees for a two-shot approach to the green. Fading the tee shot jeopardizes the ball's fate and any chance of scoring par on the hole.

The charming clubhouse at El Chaparral Golf occupies a prominent position at the heart of the urbanization. Offering panoramic views of the 1st tee, 18th greens, and the surrounding pine-clad countryside, it serves as an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a post-round drink in a tranquil and natural setting. The clubhouse features a bar/restaurant, offices, member areas, changing rooms, a club fitting center, a hairstylist, a TV lounge, and a pro shop.

Built in a Mediterranean style, with white rendered walls, antique tiled roofs, and old wooden beams, the clubhouse serves as a focal point of the club, complemented perfectly by the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
