El Paraiso Golf Course Spain
18 holes 6131 Metres Par 71
Location:- Costa del Sol
Situated 14 Km from Marbella in a valley surrounded by hills with
magnificent views of the coast, El Paraiso was designed with great
attention to detail by Gary Player and Kirby.
The designers laid out the course to take advantage of the slope
of a hill which runs down to the sea. El Paraiso Golf course was
carefully designed to achieve a peaceful atmosphere through the
varied abundance of trees and vegetation, strategically placed lakes
and bunkers.
The course has fairways which are quite wide, but you need to
attack them quite carefully. The water hazards play an important
role, both for the beauty they add to the course and because of
the dangerous streams lying waiting to catch wayward shots.
The central holes of the course (the 13th and the 14th) are incredibly
beautiful, with their large trees and lakes. The 6th hole is generally
regarded as the best on the course, a par 5 dogleg left where your
drive must steer clear of two well positioned bunkers, left and
right, and your second shot should be aimed to the left in order
to avoid landing in the lake. Finally, your approach has again to
be accurate, to a two tiered green, to give you any chance of that
elusive "birdie".
The clubhouse, situated in the middle of the course, is rustic
but very popular.
Facilities include: driving range, practice bunkers and greens,
tuition, pro shop, restaurant and bar, clubhouse.
