Chaparral Golf course

"Very nice course and one of the most beautiful on the coast! Excellent condition. Greens could be faster, but they are in very good condition. Not as tricky as we thought. Buggy needed." - SaVu

"The course was a good challenge. However, for me personally, there were a few too many blind shots. The pros, the course was close to where I was staying and so, easy to get to The staff were friendly " - Mike Stephens

"Spectacular and quit tricky course in good condition. Lots of holes with difference in altitude. Friendly staff and a great restaurant" - Charlie

"This is an upscale golf course with excellent customer service. We got a nice welcome pack on arrival. There is a halfway coffee shop after nineth hole, where the nice lady greeted me with my name, which made me feel special and appreciated. Buggy recommended." - Leena

"Banan ok men greenerna dåliga" - H LJ

"Greens are ok+" - Anonymous

"Nice layout and surroundings, Some narrow and some wide holes. The greens was not so good. Staff very friendly. " - Peter

" The course was in good condition in all areas. Staff welcoming and good catering facilities. Areas which let them down are not allowing buggies on over half of the holes and this is a hilly course causing long walks for some shots. Plus no marshals on the course so our round took over 5 hours . Also no drinks carts available. " - Mike

"Challenging course and we like it a lot. Little sad that golfcar is ready so late so you need to walk about and to putting green" - Roffe

"Nice clubhouse with friendly staff. Quite a challenging course in places. Like that it has 6 par 3s and 4s and 5s. The 11th is not a long par 5 but is a real challenge with slopes and trees making it tricky. The overall layout is quite Quirky like many of the courses on the Costa. Rounds here can often be slow as the groups tend to get held up coming to the par3 10th. Overall not bad value." - Spiggy

"Some greens and fareways need a clear improvement" - Anonymous

"Beautiful course but difficult for a tourist. Too many holes with difficulty to know where I should aim. It would be nice if there were more specific hole maps with distances. Course condition was great and food at the clubhouse was good. The length of the round was almost 5 hours. It would be nice if marshall would monitor the groups more" - Antti Kalpio

"The course was in good condition considering the weather over the last few weeks." - Anonymous

"All was perfect. Little overbook" - Giorgio

"The price-Performance Ratio is very good. Very friendly Service with starting gift( Marker, Tees, pitchfork in a small bag)On the scorecard are the new toilets marked, hole 10 is a new halfway house with Sandwiches ,hot coffee Open already at 9.00. They are still working on the course, Walls, paths, surroundings at a few holes. The Layout is challenging and Interesting, narrow Fairways,Not for beginners. The Greens were a Little soft because of the rain the days before. The menuecard at hole 19 is very lush, my salad with Avocado and fruits really good. Normal prices!!!" - Anonymous

"A fabulous course,every hole looks spectacular from the tee box and is a good test of golfing ability.Its a very interesting course winding its way thru forest and ravines and facilities are great.The course is in great condition and definitely a highlight of our weeks golf" - Anonymous

"Well maintenance, challinging course , slower greens" - Anonymous

"I like that the course were pretty wide. It was the first course i played this season so it was nice whith some space. Greens and fairways were good." - CR

"Många hål lite för svåra för oss medelgolfare. Bannans skick är ok, men jag väljer hellre en annan bana." - Anders Nimmerfelt

"This is a hilly course and a buggy is recommended. It has some lovely holes but also some odd ones too. The par 5 17th and par 5 11th are very tricky and odd designs. The closing par 3 18th is a good finishing hole. The par 4 8th is another interesting one as you either lay up with an iron or fade a drive round the corner. The course overall was in decent condition. Nice clubhouse and staff. There is one big problem playing this course as in all the times I’ve played I’ve never got round in under 5 hours!" - Spiggy

"ACCUEIL TRES AGREABLE PARCOURS TRES BIEN ENTRETENU CALME ET TRES BOISE A CONSEILLER PARCOURS TRES DEGAGE LES PERSONNES SUR LE PARCOURS TOUJOURS SYMPA" - Anonymous

"So I read some really bad reviews before playing today. I thought the layout to be superb. Fairways great. Greens near perfect. Bunkers poor. Tees excellent. Clubhouse one of the nicest. The 17th is a horror. A double bending par 5 with a ditch that really should not be there but can catch a long drive or a short drive and long second shot. Nothing bad to say about the course and it certainly compares very well to others in the area. Playing after the 1st March is expensive and I think too expensive. But this absolutely worth a visit." - Phil & Gaynor

"Lot of improvements especially the greens are much better" - Dutch guy

"Der Kurs ist sehr interessant, Zustand der Fairways und Grüns ok, der Platz hat jedoch durch die Bautätigkeit um den Platz herum stark an Reiz verloren. Diebstahlversuche nach wie vor aktuell. Wertsachen verschließen!" - Golfwolli

"Course fine, but to many people on course and delay time and Can not play 18 holes, not okay. Money machine and the have to little time between starts…" - Bo Zangenberg

"I loved playing this course. The greens are fantastic and true although hard to read. Course was in pretty good condition considering the lack of water most courses are suffering. I would not recommended this for high handicap players as it’s quite hard, very few flat lies and with potential to lose a lot of balls! Wouldn’t recommend trying to walk it either it’s very hilly and quite a distance between some tee’s." - Stuart Nicholls

"It was a pleasure to play this course again, it had some changes by hole 9 and 10th. The fairways and the greens are very good." - Harm

"Demanding and rather difficult course. Well maintained. Very friendly personnel. Buggy necessary" - Johan

"Very slow paste, it took us 2.50 for 9 holes and we finished after 5 hours. Greens also very slow but value for money excellent with 62€ with buggy. Best Mauro HCP 12.2" - Anonymous

"The fairways is in a bad condition. This has been under a number of years. The worst was the slow play. Fist you have to wait 20 minutes foa buggy, already there a delay and then the play was over 5 hours and that is not acceptable. You have to do something about that." - Kent Lundström

"A course that has many ‘quirky’ holes especially the par 5 17th And the par 5’s 3rd and 11th. Not bad value with friendly staff. Sadly rounds for some reason (probably course layout) are usually at least 5 hours. Course in not bad condition. Walkable but I would go for a buggy on this one." - Spiggy

"Every hole was very spectacular and challenging. I will really enjoy my next visit which I hope will be soon." - Jussi Luostarinen

"Great course. We're there for the first time and certainly will come back. Sometime narrow and blind. Layout is fine." - Bart

"Having played here many times before It was a let down has gone downhill badly Greens in poor condition Could only use buggy on 9 holes the rest you had to stay on path" - Chris

"Tees, fairways and greens was in OK-good conditions but the layout was terrible, several times we had no idea where to aim and on one hole our watches said we had 100 meters left but we couldnt figure out where the green was." - Anonymous

"Great course for all levels, however the greens were slow due to hollow tine and sand. And the round did take 5 plus hours, but the staff were friendly, just hope it is quicker next time when we play. Good value for the price." - Kaz

"Fine intrance to club and cource. Nice welcome at desk and by buggymaster. Good drivingrange and putting area near clubhouse and 1. tee. Super fine golfcource in nice suroundings. Will play the cource again - super." - Bo Zangenberg

"Relative good fairways and greens, kind personal" - Anonymous

"Very special design at El Chaparral. You’re not in Spain anymore! Fairways are nice but narrow. Greens were fair but could be improved. El Chaparral was a good surprise and I’ll be back there." - Deham

"Great course, excellent layout in good condition. New toilets excellent. Only minor criticism is that a few additional steps up to the buggy paths on some holes would be appreciated." - Ali G

"Another quirky course. Very nice looking with fine views. Friendly staff. Another course with greens in poor condition. Fairways and bunkers were fine. Sadly another slow round 5 hours. Buggy essential." - Spiggy

"Sehr interessante Spielbahnen. Einige davon sehr eng. Präzises Spiel ist gefordert. ProShop und Clubhaus sehr ansprechend." - TomTom

"Narrow course, with good greens, a bit too many trees in the fairway, 18 is too tough ending, could be a bit shorter ( only 2players of 8 finished the hole) otherwise a nice course. Very nice clubhouse with nice staff and good food." - Anonymous

"Good course but not at all to find due to new Road and constructions ! No map could guide the way !" - DenEliza

"buggy recommended special layout many holes cartpath only" - Christian

"Difficult cours, but very nice scenerie. Buggy is a must. Path, Bunkers, greens and fairways perfect. Restaurant food and service excellent. " - Hans-Peter Moeckli

" Skriver på Svenska. Trång och svår bana första gången man spelar där. Överlag fina greener och fairways. Tyvärr dåligt spel tempo men det är inte någon nyhet i Spanien är tyvärr väldigt ofta väldigt dåligt speltempo och spelare på banorna har dåligt golf vett. Sen var det lite strul med golf bilar men det löste sig." - Ulf Gahne

"Dank der Wegbeschreibung von Golfservice haben wir den Platz gefunden. Das letzte Stück führt durch eine Großbaustelle, danach braucht man eine Autowäsche. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Der Platz wurde offensichtlich erleichtert, denn viele Abschläge wurden vorverlegt. Einige blinde Grüns, besonders Loch 17. Zustand der Fairways entspricht der Trockenheit, Grüns mit vielen Pitchmarken, Bunker ok. Der Platz ist sehr bergig mit teilweise langen Wegen, daher Buggy sehr empfehlenswert. Bei einigen Löchern muss man auf dem Pfad bleiben." - Golfwolli

"I've been playing Chaparral for well over 20 years. I've always enjoyed the layout with the exceptions of the 12th and 17th. The main problem has always been the condition of the tee boxes. However this time the greens were in dreadful condition. They looked like it was a combination of unrepaired pitch marks, damage from wildlife and poor cutting. It's a shame because it can be a lovely course." - RemyM

"A LOT of up and down With hindden greens" - Arne

"Very poor condition indeed. The greens where almost unplayable. 18 holes took 5 h and 15 min. The courselayout where very strange." - Mikael from Sweden,

"Access is a mess until construction works are complete, however the course was very disappointing today. Greens were full of plantings, fluffy, and not true. I have always very much enjoyed playing Chaparral but today, not so. The staff and clubhouse as always however, were great and extremely helpful and welcoming." - Anonymous

"terrible road indication to reach the clubhouse. also golfservice should provide additional information how to drive. We lost 30 minutes! course overall was in good condition. unfortunately we had someone in front of use walking on spikes and ruining all the greens " - Anonymous

"Not in good condition greens could do with some love and attention." - Anonymous

"Great condition but difficult accessing fairways as buggies restricted to cart paths. Lovely Clubhouse with good food & drink." - Steve

"Nice course with great views on some holes. Good restaurant and pro shop. Too bad we were only allowed to drive on the cart path. That made the round 0,5-1h longer..." - Jon

"Nice and good service People. Interesting and fun layout. The online thing that isn't good is the guidence too the course, because och building and road constructions is The roaf signal all wrong and it was Hard to find, we almost missed teetime." - Swedish party

"Green and TBoxes were terrible. Top bar on the other hand ??" - Mike

"L’accueil très sympa et en français. Un peu compliqué d’arriver au golf car il y a beaucoup de travaux autour. Le parcours lui même est vraiment ludique, ça tourne dans tous les sens avec quelques trous que l’on peut attaquer en coupant les dog leg. Les départs ne sont pas en très bon état, et les greens viennent d’être sablé. Je conseille le parcours car très très joueur !!!! Une bonne découverte." - Tyseb

"Major works at the entrance could scare you, but the course is still open. Some holes are challenging and you may lose your balls. Not a walk in the park..." - ReVer

"Excellent course although not for anyone with walking difficulties! Some beautiful holes on a very well kept course. Highly recommended. Service was excellent, staff were very good." - Phill Littlejohn

"Brilliant and tricky cours Blind holes No marshal anywehre so bit slow playing Superb conditions on fairways and green Love this course" - Sassa

"Very nice parkland course with extraordinary forest feeling for this region. Very nice service, terrace with ocean view. Challenging holes, good greens and much variety across the course. Overall a good value for money!" - Christian

"Accueil excellent. Malgré que le parcours n est pas dans le top 20 de Marbella il a des départs, fairways et rough excellents de la moquette. La chose à améliorer les greens sont trop lents mais tiennent la ligne restaurant très bon et serveurs très sympathiques et professionnels attention voiturette obligatoire" - Pascalou
