El Paraíso Golf, a perfect blend of innovation and tradition
During the boom of the Marbella "jet set” in the 70s, the Costa del Sol deservedly became a privileged shelter for the cream of international society.
The climate, the friendly people and its excellent conditions mean that this little corner of Andalusia is the focus of attention and when it is depicted as what we know today as the El Paraíso Golf Club.
For over four decades Gary Player's design has maintained the essence of a demanding but entertaining course in which constant contact with the abundant, indigenous flora and fauna is an ongoing experience and an environment where players can enjoy the peaceful surroundings regardless of their physical condition. The essence of El Paraíso Golf Club is to enjoy a game among friends as you ramble around the 18 holes. Incomparable!
Easy design? This is the first question that many amateurs ask each other. The answer is very simple: yes, but with subtle differences. The broad fairways allow you to show off your drive from the tee but beware, any lack of precision will mean that you may not get the result you expected! The par-3s will give you plenty to think about and you should avoid the bunkers strategically placed by the brilliant South African, Gary Player. You should have plenty of birdie options!
And when you finish your round… relax and enjoy the exquisite gastronomy! The clubhouse has a traditional atmosphere which pervades its walls and the trophies decorating this traditional Andalusian farmhouse converted into the headquarters of El Paraíso where you can enjoy the latest cuisine and the refurbished terrace which will mean you won't want to leave this unique venue on the Costa del Sol. Welcome to "El Paraíso”.
