An Invitation to join El Paraiso Golf Club
The very essence of El Paraiso is that in addition to having an excellent golf course, it is truly a Members golf club . Many social activities directly follow our weekly, monthly and annual competitions. We know members join EPGC from other clubs firstly because we have a course to be envied, and, secondly, because of the ‘inclusiveness' and good value of our social events, from the occasional quiz night to the glamour of the New Year's Eve Ball.
Hardly a week goes by without some form of socializing. At the weekly Sunday afternoon Scramble, where teams are selected to balance good and not so good golfers; the chatter and good-natured banter on the terrace allows the whole club to mix. As a new member at El Paraiso, getting to know your fellow members is an easy and speedy exercise .
Six major social events are held each year, added to which there are two week-long festivals of golf which always climax with a celebration dinner or candle-lit barbecue, and the opportunity to dance the night away to some of the best music on the Costa. Add to this an eclectic mix of smaller events throughout the year and you can see that the clubhouse is fully utilised.
Whether you are a scratch golfer or stuck on a rather higher mark, shy or gregarious, you are sure to be welcomed and will be quickly drawn into the flow of the club and a share of the generous good nature that is El Paraiso Golf Club .
There are many competitions organised for members , and many find there is no necessity to reserve separate tee times – simply put your name on the entry list.

pounds sterling.
Once a share has been purchased and

is currently (2008) €10,000 plus IVA.

suits the regular visitor and allows you to play up to 25 rounds
per year for only 635€ per annum (2008 rate). Additional rounds
are available at a reduced price.
Very few resale shares become available so don't hesitate. It could be the best purchase you have ever made.
