" After more than 12 years closed and two years since its reopening, El Chaparral Golf Club has become one of the most recognizable courses on the Costa del Sol. This is thanks to the efforts of Mr Antonio Rubio, who has put the course into the hands of Aymerich Golf Management, a company operating more than 25 golf courses in Spain.

In the two years since reopening its success has been assured by the exceptional surroundings, facilities, quality of service and value for money. A unique panorama of the surrounding scenary can be observed from every hole. The magnificent sea views, rich vegetation, and the perfume of pines trees have turned El Chaparral into a natural and golfers paradise. Spectacular would be the word that best defines the feeling when you play at El Chaparral, a course capable of holding any event to the highest level, whether amateur or professional.

The course consists of 18 holes situated in one of the most privileged settings on the Costa del Sol. Close to the sea – only 700 metres from the beach – surrounded by a forest of pine trees, El Chaparral offers what every golfer is looking for – tranquillity. Designed by Pepe Gancedo, it isthe only course on the Costa del Sol made up of 6 par 5´s, 6 par 4´s and 6 par 3´s. Though not a course excessively long (5,800 metres), you will find a large variety of holes that are enjoyed by players of all levels. It is a course that requires skill and accuracy, with greens that you will find in fantastic condition all year round. Easy to access -at 700 metres from the N340 main road-. It is located at the beginning of the Mijas Golf Valley, a destination for golfers worldwide."
