This was our 4th visit to Chaparral and it is a quirky 6x par3, 6x par4, 6x par5 set up. Many interesting and individual holes that you remember long after your visit - especially the last two holes. They have just opened a halfway house serving drinks and food. However, they have lost the greens this year which was very disappointing and on one green we had to move our balls to avoid the raised patches that had been inserted. The putting green was completely dead and out of commission. Stark contrast to last year when the greens were good and moderate speed.

The Course was very good all round , from booking in , to after round drinks. The only downside is the pace of play ( Over 5 and a half hours) mainly due to the fact that the cart path can be a long walk to your shot. If this could be addressed then El Chapparal would rate even higher.Bar excellent and prices reasonable.

What a wonderful golf course. Has holes on it that you could compare the Woburn or Centurion. Highly recommended. Stunning views and a really good finishing hole which is a par 3 that is overlooked by the fantastic golf club bar/terrace. A must NTP hole for a group. The 8th hole is fantastic too. We will return here too one day for sure.

Unnecessarily difficult without being interesting. Very coarse grass unlike the other courses we played which had lush, soft grass. Very steep course but buggies are extremely old and worn out so actually quite dangerous on some of the very steep drops. The holes are very samey and uninteresting.

Easily one of the best course I have ever played. Overall condition was immaculate! I didn't have one bad lie and the greens were like carpet. There is also a two tier driving range and putting green. Only minor downside was the slowness of play. Took us over 5 hours which was partly down to groups in front but also buggies being strictly 'path only'. But overall, thoroughly recommend!

Really disappointed with this course the condition was okay but loads of construction going on which was off putting although suppose could not be helped. the lay out was not great a lot of narrow fairways and trees in the middle. Some holes seemed to be just squeezed in. Our party was excited by the 6.6.6 of par 3, 4, 5 but in truth this was irrelevant and didn’t really help. I would not go back here but if it’s close to base it’s playable just but as good as some in the area.

Great little course, one we have been wanting to play for a while. Get past the drive into the course which is a building site and you get to a lovely old style Spanish golf course carved into the little valleys of the mountains.

Not a course we would play again and not a course you should play if you have bad knees. We were not allowed to take the buggy onto a number of the fairways and then the walk from the buggy path to the centre of the fairway was sometimes down very steep banks which were not easy to negotiate in slippery conditions.

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.
