Hole guide
El Paraiso Golf
A unique golf course
The par 71 course stretches from 4,998 metres for the ladies to 6,131 metres from the championship tees and with the yellow ‘tees of the day’ offering a challenging 5,912 metres.
El Paraiso’s signature hole, a par 5 dogleg left, offering everything a golfer could want; water, bunkers, birdie for the brave or bogey for the unwary! Tee shot preferably just to the right of the corner pine trees, a draw on the drive makes the hole shorter, but don’t catch the hidden bunker.
A really challenging long par 4. Only long hitters can reach the fairway bunker and a good line is just left of the bunker. The stream then cuts across the fairway about 60 metres in front of the green, so a decision whether to go for the green in two or to lay up must be taken. The green slopes from back to front with water also waiting on the right.
Par 5, this time downhill making it play shorter and offer a birdie chance for the big hitters. Be careful with the ‘out of bounds’ that runs all along the left side on this hole. Another big green and slopes from right to left. Beware the little bunker at the back though.deep and best avoided.
Fantastic finishing hole. Unless a very long hitter aim for the right side fairway bunker; long hitters can fly this bunker and gain extra distance. The second shot to the green sets up a great finish and requires precision as the two tier green, which slopes from right to left, is well guarded by three bunkers.
