Tucked into one of the Costa del Sol's most scenic corners, Chaparral Golf Club is a brilliant change of pace from the usual resort fare. The big talking point is the layout: six par-3s, six par-4s and six par-5s, which keeps the scorecard interesting and asks you to think your way round rather than just opening the shoulders on every other hole. I'm a sucker for a card that makes you think, and the six-six-six split does exactly that.
It's also an easy one to build into a trip. Chaparral sits close to Fuengirola and is under 30 minutes from both Malaga airport and Marbella, making it a handy pick whether you're staying on the coast or heading inland for a few rounds. If you're planning a wider Spain break, it fits neatly as a one-day standout.
On the course, accuracy and smart positioning are rewarded. The par-3s vary nicely in length, the par-4s encourage you to shape shots into good angles and the par-5s offer a chance to be positive if you're finding fairways. Add in the rolling terrain and the Mediterranean backdrop and you've got a round that feels a little different to the norm on the Costa del Sol.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want variety, scenery and a layout that doesn't feel like every other Costa del Sol round.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers and better who enjoy plotting their way round, plus groups looking to mix up their itinerary.

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.

Whilst the club and restaurant staff were very good and the caddy master helpful the rest was awful. Probably worst greens seen in 60 years of golf. Also very difficult to access fairways - many of which were also in poor condition - from the cart paths due to very steep slopes. A very sad end to our trip.

El Chaparral golf course is a very friendly golf course, the club house was nice and the staff were very friendly. The course is ok, the greens were very tired and not very well looked after. It took 5.5 hours to complete the round which made it a long day

The group agreed that the greens were in the worst conditions possible. Sand on patches in the green painted green! Clubhouse was nice, putting area not in use before the round. The slowest round I’ve ever played at nearly 6 hours, always held up which meant we finished in the last light of the day. I had great expectations of this course but I would recommend to avoid it.

Beautiful course with great use of the mountains in the course. Very tough long course. Had a few warnings from the marshalls so be careful. We thought it was a bit unfair as it is a very long course and took us over 5 hours to complete
