Gary Player Golf Course Costa del Sol — El Paraíso Golf Club Design

El Paraíso Golf Club is home to one of the most celebrated Gary Player golf course designs on the Costa del Sol. Commissioned in 1973, the Gary Player golf course at El Paraíso was one of his earliest and most acclaimed European commissions — a layout that showcases his philosophy of golf in harmony with natural landscape.

The Gary Player Costa del Sol golf course at El Paraíso features 18 holes exploiting the natural topography of the Paraíso Valley. Elevation changes, strategic bunkering and the ever-present Mediterranean backdrop create a Gary Player golf course design that rewards every level of golfer.
