Everything about the top golf courses in Madrid
The top golf courses in and around Madrid reflect a ranking shaped by verified reviews from golfers and by the strength of the surrounding golf landscape. Club de Campo Villa de Madrid is Spain's most important golf institution and the course that anchors the capital's circuit. Its position eight kilometres from the city centre in the Casa de Campo park, the royal hunting estate given to the city by King Alfonso XIII in 1931, means the drive from central Madrid to one of Spain's historic golf clubs takes less time than reaching the airport. The course hosted the Spanish Open for decades and its membership reflects Madrid's sporting and social establishment. The Casa de Campo setting, with the Madrid skyline visible from the higher holes and the Manzanares river valley bordering the estate, gives it a visual context specific to this particular piece of Madrid geography. Real Club de Golf La Herrería in El Escorial is the madrid circuit's most scenically significant course. Its position at the foot of the Felipe II monastery, the granite Renaissance complex built between 1563 and 1584, one of the most important buildings in Spain, and on the pine forested granite terrain of the Sierra de Guadarrama foothills creates a round of golf in one of the most historically and naturally charged landscapes in Castile. The course uses the natural sierra terrain, the granite rock outcrops and the mature pine forest to produce a layout that is more demanding and more interesting than most visitors accustomed to resort courses expect. La Moraleja Golf Club, north of Madrid in the Alcobendas area, is the circuit's most prestigious private club in the northern suburbs and the one most associated with Madrid's international business community. Its course on the northern plateau parkland is well-maintained at a private club standard and provides a more conventionally polished round than the sierra foothills options to the northwest. Golf Club Las Matas, in the Las Rozas area between Madrid and El Escorial on the northwest corridor, provides the transition point between the city's northern suburb courses and the sierra foothills circuit, a well-kept parkland course on the natural pine terrain of the Guadarrama corridor whose condition reflects its position as one of the more established clubs in the capital region.
