Chaparral Golf Course

Chaparral Golf is not just any golf course; it's a distinguished venue that has hosted prestigious regional and national events, attracting both amateur and professional golfers. Designed by Pepe Gancedo, renowned as the "Picasso of Golf," this Parkland Forest course showcases a profound reverence for the landscape and the environment. It skillfully integrates the natural contours of the terrain into the design of each hole, resulting in a unique and characterful experience on every fairway.

As you embark on your round, you'll be enchanted by the harmonious presence of the sea and the mountains, providing a picturesque backdrop throughout your game. The meticulously groomed fairways and greens are gracefully guarded by an enchanting array of lush woodlands, strategically punctuated by well-placed bunkers. Chaparral Golf's proximity to the sea ensures that panoramic vistas grace numerous holes, adding to the scenic allure of your golfing journey. Here, you'll encounter a rich variety of holes that cater to golfers of all skill levels.

For visitors staying in the nearby towns of Marbella and Fuengirola, a round at Chaparral Golf is a must. Especially on a clear day, when the Mediterranean views stretch before you in an unforgettable panorama, it becomes a golfing experience like no other.

Signature Hole: Hole 8, Par 4, 320 metres (350 yards), SI 4

The 8th is a very tactical hole and requires a confident game management straight from the elevated tee, where the hole doglegs fiercely to the right. Although it is possible to cut this dogleg, the benefits are minimal, and this tactic may even cause a hindrance to the approach shot, with a large tree in the middle of the landing area waiting to block your view. While it is possible for the big hitter to clear this tree and land short of the green, they should be aware of the trees lining the right hand side of the fairway, and the dry water bed outside them. Arguably, the more sensible option would be to play an iron off the tee and leave for a fairly short approach shot to the green to make par.

Least enjoyable of the trip - course was just stupid. 6 par 5's that are only par 4's. Staff we're rude on the course and greens soggy. Noone enjoyed the course layout and the fact you had to walk 2 miles to and from the buggy each hole made it unenjoyable

Wasn't impressed with the tee boxes on this course and greens were a bit pitted and much slower than the other 3 courses we played. Quite a few hard holes but plenty of average / easy ones. They supplied safe deposit boxes in buggies as common with a lot of the courses in Marbella area there was potential for items to be pinched from the buggy where they are parked out of your eye line on tee's and greens. Thankfully we didn't have anything taken - but had to be on your guard and meant you couldn't fully relax.

Will not go again here to demanding physically for the older golfer even with a buggy because you cannot go on the fairways with buggies so your always walking to your ball with 2/3 clubs ,time to complete round 5hours 40 minutes

Lovely clubhouse & a great challenging course. Greens were in good condition & you are allowed to take buggies onto the course on certain holes but on the ones you can't, some steps down the banks would have been welcome. The staff here provided us with a lovely welcome, we were all given a free bottle of water & offered our group 20% discount in the shop. Great venue.

Has to be the worse course in all off Spain shocking greens and fairways never mind the thieves that hide around the course waiting for you to stray from your bag no warning from the club about thieves this has got really out off hand and we were not the only groups that lost money and clubs on arrival there English speaking valet told us to put our club's in a safe secure place which we all did and came down them to collect club's only to find out money and clubs missing NEVER EVER play this course and ygt are looking into this at time off feedback

We would not play this course again
