The Front 9 Holes of El Chaparral Golf Course
Hole 1: You drive over a barranca (dry ravine) to middle to right of the fairway. The hole is all uphill with slopes either side of the green however the rough is long and the ball will not always roll down. The green has a couple of levels.
Hole 2: This is a par 3 where again you drive over a long barranca and the green has two bunkers protecting it.
Hole 3: This is an interesting hole where big hitters can play over a mound on the left to give a chance of reaching in two, whereas the safe play is middle to left. There is a river about 100 meters before the green. The green is long and narrow and slopes away to the left.
Hole 4: A slightly uphill par 3 which always needs a club more than its distance.
Hole 5: A hole that is straight but due to trees and the undulations of the fairway it seems to meander. The green is small and long is out of bounds. Short and you will roll down a slope.
Hole 6: A par 5 where a drive down the middle is where you want to be. The green is at the bottom of a slope and is a blind shot. There is heavy rough all down the right and a dry river and gully to the left.
Hole7: Another Par 5 which can be reached in two. However the position is down the middle then over a corner of trees and bunkers to cut the dogleg right and a chance for a birdie. Or safely play the second shot straight and chip up hill onto the green in three.
Hole 8: A lovely hole that doglegs to the right. From the back tees it is hard to cut the corner as trees are all down the right. Don’t drive to big otherwise you will go past the fairway and into the trees and shrubs on the other side. The green has a slope running down to it on the left and falls away on the right.
Hole 9: Straight down the middle for this hole. There are a couple of dips in the fairway and the green is protected by bunkers.
The Back 9 Holes of El Chaparral Golf Course
Hole 10: This is a short par 3 down 30 feet to the green.
Hole 11: The hole meanders along like a river where the fairway is tight but most balls hit to the left or right will roll onto the fairway. There are a couple of trees along the way and the approach to the green is uphill.
Hole 12: This is short par 4 slight dogleg to the right. Middle to left is the safest drive (may only need a 3 wood) and the approach is over a ditch in front of the green.
Hole 13: A long uphill par 5 where the green is long and narrow and slopes away to the right.
Hole 14: A par 3 where the green is protected by three bunkers right and left back. Sometimes the wind can make club selection tricky.
Hole15: A dogleg to the left where there is no real advantage playing over the trees. Easy down the middle then a short iron over a couple of bunkers to a small green.
Hole 16: A short and tricky par 3. This is the narrowest green on the course and club selection is important.
Hole 17: A difficult hole to play. The tee shot can not go right as there is a ravine or left as it is all rough and a bunker. The next shot has to go over another gully to give a third shot onto the long green. Long hitters can go for the green in two however the second shot is over out of bounds, trees a bunker onto a narrow green from this direction.
Hole 18: El Chaparral finishes with a par 3. The green has a slope down to it on the left; usually balls hit here will roll down. To the right there is a sharp slope away.
