Golf Santander
Located in Ciudad Grupo Santander, in Boadilla del Monte, west of Madrid, Golf Santander is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by American architect Rees Jones. The course unfolds across a vast, undulating estate, featuring wide fairways from the tees and a design that combines visual openness with strategic challenges. From the black tees, it measures 6,855 meters—a distance that requires careful consideration of every shot and effective management of the round’s pace.
The course alternates today between long, open holes and more technical ones, where positioning from the tee is key to attacking greens well defended by bunkers and gentle terrain undulations. The wind, common in the area, adds a variable that changes the course reading depending on the day. The greens, wide and with subtle slopes, require precision on approach shots and careful putting. It’s not a course with hidden tricks; its difficulty is evident in the length, the placement of obstacles, and the need to choose the right club for each situation.
Just minutes from downtown Madrid, Golf Santander offers a peaceful and well-maintained environment, designed for both regular practice and competition. It is a course that rewards consistency and allows you to enjoy golf with space, light, and a clear sense of order on each hole.
Real Club de Golf de la Herrería
Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial is in a stunning location, right next to the amazing Escorial Monastery, and it’s a World Heritage Site (declared in 1984). The Real Club de Golf de la Herrería is in this beautiful spot, and it’s a great place to enjoy a round of golf surrounded by nature.
The course was originally designed by Antonio Lucena and then reimagined by Pepe Gancedo. At 6,091 metres and with 18 holes, it’s a great place to enjoy a round of golf and some great food.
