City Golf Breaks in Madrid

Madrid, located in the heart of the peninsula and the capital of Spain since 1562 is a cosmopolitan city, known for its intense cultural, artistic activity and a very lively nightlife. Because of its central location and high altitude, the climate of Madrid is continental and is characterized by warm dry summers and cool winters that can be quite extreme at times. The city is well connected by both rail and road and the Barajas Airport is one of the biggest and busiest airports in the world which brings a constant flow of visitors to Madrid every year who are looking to enjoy this lively metropolis with its many pubs, cafes, discotheques, and nightclubs that are always open late into the night.

The Best Golf Courses in Madrid

To book a golf holiday in Madrid is to blend a memorable city break in the Spanish capital with some exceptional experiences on the golf course. For once you step away from the culture, history and entertainment of the city, you can immerse yourself in courses of the highest quality, no matter your handicap.

With more than 30 courses to choose from within the Madrid proximity, offering championship challenges and entertaining afternoons out, there’s something for everyone. Here are a few favourites to whet your whistle to help plan your itinerary.

Set within the complex of one of Europe’s largest sports clubs, the golf at Villa De Madrid is something the savour. Shaped by the vision of legendary architect Javier Arana, with flourishes added by the likes of Seve Ballesteros over the years, the 2 courses at the complex are always immaculately presented and a joy to play.

A host club to many Tour events over the years, including the Spanish Open, the courses make intelligent use of the sloping terrain, providing testing holes without becoming a burden to walk. Plenty of risk-reward opportunities abound, making for a fun test of skills and golfing bravery. And with some spectacular views across the city, this is truly one of the great courses to experience when visiting Madrid.

A city course in the heart of Madrid, Centro Nacional de Golf represents some of the best championship-style golf in Spain.

While it’s played host to big events such as the Spanish Open and Spanish Masters over the years, the course has been designed with enjoyment at its core. Beautifully maintained and offering exceptional facilities, the course is a treat for golfers of all handicaps and abilities. Interesting holes and a range of tees make it a great venue for a friendly fourball or society outing.

Centro Nacional de Golf perhaps epitomises the golfing experience in Madrid, offering views both of the city and surrounding mountains. A day to savour in the greenery of the golf course, yet minutes away from the bustle and entertainment on offer in the city.

It’s a 30-minute drive northwest of Madrid, but a journey worth making for anyone looking to mix compelling golf with a stay in Spain’s capital.

Set in the foothills of the Guadarrama mountain range, La Herrería has been welcoming golfers since the 1960s. Set across 185-acres, this is a woodland style course, with fairways stretched across a rolling landscape. With some tight fairways that make you think twice about blasting the driver, tricky doglegs and perhaps one of the great finishing holes in the country, the course keeps you interested from the first tee to the final putt.

And, as well as the finery of the course, it’s also the location and scenery that compel you to visit. From the natural foliage to the towering mountains and, most impressively of all, the imposing yet breath-taking monastery of El Escorial adjacent to the course itself.

Another short drive from the city centre along the road to Zaragoza will take you to the little gem of El Encin.

A resort course that’s interesting in design and immaculate in condition. Relatively flat in comparison to other more hilly options in the region, El Encin is an archetypal course for holiday golf. Whatever your ability you’ll find scoring opportunities on each hole if your game is sound, but beware of the many bunkers that guard your path. Throw in a few water hazards and this is another entertaining course that blends good fun with just enough jeopardy to keep you focused.

The true joy of El Robledal is the simply stunning natural beauty of the course and surroundings. The course itself is not excessively long, making it a pleasant day out for any golf holiday in the region. And, it’s delightfully maintained to allow you to play from well-tendered fairways and smooth-rolling greens.

The course is well-blessed by its environment, thanks to its lakes and variety of trees and foliage, that offer both a delight to view and a hazard to wayward shots.

With amazing facilities and a welcoming Spanish charm, this is a great venue for any group heading to the Madrid area for their next golf break.

Looking out across the stunning Sierra de Guadarrama and blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, Lomas Bosque is a tranquil treat of a golf course just thirty minutes from the hubbub of Madrid.

But it’s not just a course to come and admire for the views and pretty outlook. This is a championship-level golf course that demands attention, welcoming golfers to its fairways since the 1970s.

The course takes you out over rolling undulations before flattening out on the return home. Large pines line the fairways, begging you to stay straight off the tee, and the sprawling lake that dominates the back nine keeps you on your toes on your way back to the clubhouse.

Speaking of which, to truly enjoy your golfing day out at Lomas Bosque, the facilities from the practice range to the clubhouse are a joy to behold. Fine food, a welcome in the bar and leisure facilities to help you wind down after the round making an added incentive to visit.

Great golf and a fabulous city combined
