Chaparral Golf Club

Andalucía, Spain

Nestled in a wooded valley-like setting, the 6.000-metre layout of Chaparral Golf Club (the club dropped the prefix "El" in 2019) was designed by Pepe Gancedo and the course is routed in an entertaining six par three, six par four and six par five configuration.

El Chaparral is one of those courses that feels completely different to the typical resort layouts you find along the coast.

The course winds its way through dense pine forest, giving it a really natural feel and making every tee shot look framed and inviting. It’s not overly long, but it’s a proper thinking course where positioning off the tee is far more important than just hitting driver everywhere. There’s a great var...

Part of a group of 13 society golfers, (rubbish number I know) we weren't allowed to go out in 3,3,3,4 formation. Instead it was 3,4,4,2, thus with 2 spots available for the 'random additions' to our party (and Euro maximisation for the golf club). Ahh, that wonderful lottery of who you get to join ...

Chaparral GC is worth a visit if you like to try something not too difficult, but interesting and a little different.

The site is only 800m from the coast, set high up in the hills amongst pine forest and enjoys great views and afternoon breezes.The layout is tight, with deep forest along several driving holes and streams & barranca adjacent to some landing areas. There's 6 x par 3, 4 and 5, so there's a lot of...

As layout this course is so much fun to play.

The 6,6,6 format on course layout provides great opportunities, risk reward holes and a good strategy required to play. The reason for the low rating is the course was in poor condition. If it had the right investment I’d put it to a 5

There are over 100 courses to choose from within a 90 minute drive of Malaga. We have played many courses around Malaga, most are hilly an...

This was a course which I always passed by on my trips to La Costa del Sol but had never been able to play.

I can’t blame myself as there are many good courses here and trips are not always long enough to play them all. I still have pending to play many more but yesterday due to Domingo’s very kind invite we enjoyed a great round of golf and lunch together with Head Pro Pablo (very good player) and fellow...

Chaparral golf course offers 18 holes surrounded by a Mediterranean pine forest and has become one of the most attractive golf courses in Costa del Sol. Spectacular is the term that could be use to define the Chaparral experience. This par 72 golf course offers a large variety of holes appreciated b...

Tricky but fun and stunning course!

We thoroughly enjoyed this course. It had some tough blind holes but I found it really enjoyable. I am not an expert golfer by any means but I actually scored decently at Chaparral so average golfers should not feel intimidated by the course. I suggest to rent a buggy, the course is a little hilly f...
