Good to know
When is the best time to travel?
Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant weather for golf and sightseeing. Winter is quieter and cooler, but Madrid’s cultural life stays lively year-round.
Can I modify the number of days or golf courses?
Absolutely. Every itinerary can be tailored: extend your stay, swap courses, or add extra cultural days according to your pace and preferences.
Are all the golf courses private?
Some, such as La Moraleja and Real Sociedad Hípica Española, are strictly members-only. Through our local partnerships, guests enjoy privileged access and pre-arranged tee times.
How far are the golf courses from central Madrid?
Private transfers take between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the club and traffic. All transportation is included and coordinated to fit your schedule.
Can this itinerary be combined with other Spanish destinations?
Yes. Many guests extend their journey with cultural or wine experiences in Andalusia, La Rioja, or the Basque Country. Custom extensions are easily arranged.
Are there options for non-golfing companions?
Definitely. We design parallel experiences such as private art visits, gourmet tours, shopping with a stylist, or day trips to nearby towns like Segovia or Toledo.
How are transfers and logistics handled?
A private driver is at your disposal for all golf, tour, and airport transfers. We manage every detail (tee times, restaurant reservations, and schedules) so you can simply enjoy.
Is this tour suitable for small groups?
Yes. Although designed for couples or friends, the itinerary can be adapted for small groups, including exclusive use of guides, transport, and flexible tee arrangements.
