History
The C.G. ESCORPIÓN was founded on April 26, 1969, being the first President of the club D. Enrique Puigmoltó, Viscount of Miranda. During the first years the Club was located at the golf course of Manises, to later move to the El Saler field where it remained under a lease until 1975.
- In 1972, the Board of Directors chaired by Mr. Joaquín Serra Belda reached an agreement to purchase the land of the Masía de Torre en Conill in Bétera.
- In 1974 the works began and in 1975 the field is provisionally opened to the members.
- The design of the 18-hole course, with the possibility of a second phase to expand to 27, was designed by the American architect Ron Kirby.
- The 19th of May, 1976, the golf course was officially inaugurated with an amateur competition and at the end of that same year it hosted the Spanish Professional Championship, in which Severiano Ballesteros, Manuel Piñero, Antonio Garrido, José Mª Cañizares and the rest of the components participated of the Invincible Navy.

In 2000 the works of extension of the route to 27 holes were started, with the design of Alfonso Vidaor, who was also the author of the project and execution of the Pitch and putt inaugurated in 2005.
