Golf Courses

Madrid
Golf Santander
Located in Grupo Santander City, in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) is Golf Santander, a par-72 course designed by the famous American architect Rees Jones. Is one of Spain’s best golf courses. From the black tees, or the last tee-off point, the 6,855 metres distance of the Golf Santander course makes it the longest in Spain and one of the longest in Europe.
La Moraleja No. 3
This course bears the Jack Nicklaus signature. The designer has transformed a terrain that was originally flat by introducing small hills at different points, more or less pronounced, in order to achieve a course with multiple play options at almost all the holes.It is configured as a long, classical, parkland-type course; a good challenge for hosting important tournaments, but also very pleasant for any amateur to play.
El Encin Golf
he South Course is a different type of course in that it offers broad, rolling fairways, large greens, and an infinite number of pin positions.
It’s an exciting course to play and will not leave you indifferent; in short, it bears the distinctive hallmark of Von Hagge, Smelek & Baril. In 2011 it hosted a European Tour event, the Bankia Madrid Masters, as well as some Challenge Tour events.
Ribera del Duero
Lerma Golf Course
Constructed in 1992 on a former 220-hectare hunting estate called La Andaya, over its 18 holes the the Lerma golf course combines the splendid simplicity of Castilian nature with the entertaining complexity of the golf game.
It is a landscape of spacious, luminous horizons, moderate terrain, and abundant vegetation. It is easily walked and requires maximum concentration on its generous greens.
Rioja Alta Golf Club
Located in the heart of the Rioja Alta, just 5 km from Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Designed by Enrique Saenger, the course is arranged around a vast area of leafy forests, with century-old oak trees and four majestic lakes forming part of a specially protected nature reserve in its interior.
The 18-hole par-72 course has a total length of 6,461 metres from the white tees and 101 strategically-positioned bunkers.
