About Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro

This historic course was opened in 1904. It is considered to be one of the most traditional courses in Madrid. Since its creation, The Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro has maintained a strict admissions policy in an exclusive atmosphere, where visitors must be accompanied by a member. The clubhouse is an elegant building which in no way clashes with the discreet surroundings. Situated in a residential area, it offers all of the facilities which one would expect of such a high-class installation. The club has two 18-hole courses. The 1st hole on Course I is worth mentioning as it is considered one of the most spectacular, overlooked as it is by the clubhouse and its surroundings. Many of the holes are bordered by the Polo grounds. The course is kept in impeccable condition and offers marvellous views all the way round. Some of its most famous players consider it to be one of the most beautiful in Spain.

Amazing club not only because of the fantastic golf, but also for everything if offers as a country club. My personal preference is the arriba course but both are maintained very very well.

Campazo!!! Diseño sin un solo lago, solo arboles, bunkers y fairway pero que hace un recorrido muy entretenido y que te obliga a que tengas que utilizar todos los palos de la bolsa. Algunos hoyos tienen unas vistas hermosas a Madrid y alrededores. El mantenimiento exquisito

My home course and one of the best in Spain, in my opinion. My favourite is the Arriba Course, but the Abajo can be a bit more challenging.

Madrid es un destino peculiar de golf ya que muchos de sus campos tienen el acceso restringido únicamente a sus socios.



Real Club Puerta de Hierro es el reflejo más extremo de este modelo y poder jugar sus campos ha sido un privilegio.



Una vez dentro, uno se siente como en su club ya que se respira un ambiente relajado en una ubicación única.



El club tiene mucha historia y las instalaciones están ancladas en mucha tradición, siendo testigo de ello su sala de restaurante y uniforme de los camareros. Comida muy rica por cierto, y mención especial a su clara con casera y hielos!



Aunque el club ofrece muchos deportes (incluso polo con unas instalaciones enormes), la estrella es sin duda el golf. A los pies de la casa club y de la terraza del restaurante se encuentran los dos primeros hoyos de ambos recorridos (Arriba y Abajo). Siendo pares 3 en los dos casos, se ven tanto el tee de salido como los greenes como si fueran anfiteatros. Sin duda es la mejor foto de golf que haré este año!



Una particularidad del club y de sus dos campos es que los socios no acaban de decidirse sobre cual de los dos recorridos les gusta más. Eso es señal de una gestión excepcional de ambos campos tanto a nivel de diseño como de mantenimiento. Ningún de los campos es estrella por encima del otro, o “plan B” cuando el otro esta ocupado. Deberían inspirarse otros clubes con varios recorridos donde sí suele haber un campo estrella y el otro “de relleno”.



En el campo de Arriba me han gustado todos los hoyos (a excepción del hoyo 5, un par 5, estaba en obras y transformado en par 3 temporalmente) donde muchos de los tiros a green invitan el jugador a atacar y darle con ganas. Estimula mucho el positivismo y el disfrute!


Mención especial al hoyo 1, hoyo 9 y hoyo 18 con una bonita vista de la casa club.



El campo de Abajo arranca muy fuerte con unos hoyos algo mas estrechos y bastante desnivel. La salida de los hoyos 4,7 y 8 ofrece un panorama al oeste de Madrid muy impresionante. La vuelta se juega “abajo” (como su nombre indica) y ofrece buenos desafíos, en especial los torios a green. Una pena que el green del 18 no ofrezca vistas a la casa club, pero se lo perdonaremos.



Sin duda una de las mejores experiencias de golf en Madrid!

Puerta de Hierro is one of the most exclusive clubs on the European continent, with members that include royals, nobles, and prominent families from Madrid.



The club features two 18-hole courses, both of which start with a par three in full view of the stunning terrace. We played the Up (Arriba) course, designed by Harry Colt in 1926, in the morning, followed by the Down (Abajo) course, designed by Tom Simpson and John Harris, after a lovely lunch in the afternoon.



The Arriba course is another Colt gem. There is an enormous amount of space surrounding the holes, giving it a Sunningdale-like vibe, with wide fairways, large greens, and expansive bunkers. What makes this course so strong is that almost every tee shot is aimed at an inviting target, making you eager to hit your best shot and see if you can achieve your goal.



It’s hard to pick the most beautiful holes because they are all fun, challenging, forgiving, and penal at the same time. Each time you walk to the next hole, you can’t help but feel excited about what lies ahead.



Abajo


The Down course at Puerta de Hierro was designed by Simpson and Harris and was recently renovated (1987) by Kyle Phillips. Like Arriba, it starts with a par 3, which is unusual for courses of this stature, but it plays really well. My favorite hole on this course is the 17th, a 200m par 3 from a 25-meter elevated tee. It’s the ultimate decision-maker in a tight match play game.



A lot of people ask which course I like the most, and that’s actually quite hard to answer—both courses are so strong that it’s difficult to pick a favorite. Maybe because I’m a huge Colt fan, the Arriba course wins by a nose.



If you’re lucky enough to be invited, make sure you have the whole day available. As an old-school golf club, the green fee is per day, so you can play both courses for the price of one.
