Golf courses in Madrid

The Madrid region brings golf to the very centre of Spain, a high inland plateau ringed by the Sierra de Guadarrama and dotted with holm-oak woodland, pine and rolling country on the city's outskirts. With around 21 courses gathered close to the Spanish capital, this is a compact and convenient golf destination, where mature, leafy layouts sit only a short drive from one of Europe's great cities, its museums, restaurants and nightlife. The setting is distinctly Castilian: clear light, big skies and a landscape that turns golden in the heat of summer.

The roster includes some of the most respected clubs in the country. Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro is a historic and prestigious name in Spanish golf, while Club de Golf La Dehesa, Retamares Casino Club de Golf and the central Golf Olivar de la Hinojosa offer well-kept parkland golf within easy reach of the city, alongside accessible pay-and-play options. Madrid's continental climate makes spring and autumn the most comfortable seasons to play, with mild winters and hot midsummer days. For the travelling golfer, the appeal is a genuine city-break-and-golf combination: quality courses, easy logistics and the energy of Madrid waiting after the round.
