Valle Romano

This impressive course was designed by the famous Cabell Robinson, (Finca Cortesin, La Cala, La Reserva and many more) and enjoys a quite superb location between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains.

The course is around 6,900 yards off the yellow tees and was designed with European Tour events in mind, but it can be enjoyed by players of all levels thanks to five different tee positions. The greens are generous with many putting surfaces featuring gentle but long slopes and large number of flag positions, designed to provide each hole with a variety of flag positions.

The fairways are generous and forgiving and the greens have gentle long slopes and offer a large number of flag positions, designed so that each hole on the course can made easier or more difficult depending on how the course is set up on the day.

The clubhouse sits high on the hillside and enjoys panoramic vistas over the course. It offers a wide range of delicious dishes inspired by the best cuisine from the Costa del Sol region and complemented by a substantial wine list.

There is a well stocked pro shop with the resort offering lots of other facilities such as pools, tennis courts, gymnasium, Spa, 11-a-side and 7-a-side football fields, shops and restaurants. To make you feel at home and help you relax after a tiring day of golf, the Clubhouse contains the full range of facilities. The exclusive changing rooms have lockers, showers and saunas and these are available to members and players. There's also a club storage room, where bags can be kept, and buggies are available for hire.

El Paraiso Golf Club

Having originally been designed in 1973 by Gary Player, El Paraiso Golf Club has attracted golf holidaymakers in the Costa del Sol for decades. Located west of Marbella in Estepona, this par-71 18 hole golf course measures over 6,600 yards to create a superb test of golf for all handicaps.

Meandering through palm trees and mature Andalucia countryside, El Paraiso utilises its natural terrain with mountain views to create a challenge that focuses on accuracy rather than length to stand a chance of playing to your handicap.

There are many great holes to enjoy at El Paraiso but the par-5 6th is considered to be its signature. Measuring just shy of 500 yards from the white tees, the hole dog legs from right to left with a bunker in play on the right for anyone bailing out off the tee. As you turn the corner, the hole's danger becomes apparent with numerous bunkers ready to catch your second shot if laying up and a large lake to the right for anyone attempting the green. The putting surface is guarded by a further two bunkers and a large slope ready to snare any mishit putt.

After your round, regardless of how you've played, a warm welcome awaits in the lovely clubhouse. As one of the few members clubs in the Costa del Sol, this is a great place to take in a bit of the history of the club as well as enjoy a cold drink while watching the golfers take on the course around you.
