Discover Golf at El Encanto: The Best Place to Learn and Play in El Salvador

If you’re looking to learn golf or simply enjoy the game in a beautiful, laid-back setting, El Encanto Golf & Country Club offers one of the most unique golf experiences in El Salvador.

Located just 20 minutes from San Salvador and 30–40 minutes from the coast, El Encanto is the country’s only exclusive gated community with a championship golf course—and it’s quickly becoming a go-to destination for both new and experienced golfers.

A Golf Experience Designed for Beginners

El Encanto is one of the few places where beginners can learn the game at their own pace in a calm, welcoming environment. Unlike crowded or high-pressure golf clubs, this course offers space, time, and personalized support—making it ideal for first-timers and families looking to try something new.

Professional instruction is available on-site, with a team focused on helping newcomers develop a solid foundation—from grip and stance to body alignment and injury prevention. Early sessions are guided and carefully paced, ensuring new players feel confident and safe as they learn.

“We really focus on fundamentals and safety. New players don’t practice alone until they’re ready,” says Eduardo Gonzales, El Encanto’s golf instructor.

Scenic, Social, and Stress-Free

Set among rolling hills and lush greenery, the course features panoramic views that make every game feel like a mini retreat. Some of the most memorable spots include hole 2 under the shade of a mango tree, the elevated tee on hole 11, and the stunning view of hole 18 from the poolside.

A typical golf day at El Encanto is about more than just playing—it’s about community. Players start early with friends, practice at the driving range, enjoy a round, then often stay for lunch or family time by the pool. It’s a lifestyle, not just a sport.

“A perfect day here starts with golf in the morning, lunch with family, and maybe hitting a few more balls in the evening. Everything flows naturally—it’s peaceful, it’s social, it feels like home,” Eduardo shared.

A Multinational Golf Community

El Encanto is home to a growing, diverse group of residents and visitors from around the world. The golf course naturally brings people together, whether you’re making new friends, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the relaxed pace of life.

The course offers challenges for all levels too. Strategic holes like number 7 reward smart play over aggressive swings, keeping even experienced players on their toes.

World-Class Facilities at Your Doorstep

Living at El Encanto means golf is just minutes—or even seconds—away from your doorstep. With an on-site pro shop, driving range, and full support staff, you have everything you need to make the most of the game.

“Living here and having the golf course just steps away is a true luxury,” Eduardo adds.
