Madrid a city for golf

If you are planning a golf holiday next season, Madrid is a good choice.

Maybe tourism is not one of the best options right now, but hopefully, it will be soon, so we invite you to travel again and discover all the places you wanted to visit before the pandemic. A golf trip to Madrid is a must, at least once in a golfer’s life.

It is a destination that offers a great variety of activities also for the non-golfing companion because there are so many visits that you can do while you play golf. You will have to take a day to visit the most historical and cultural places, a day to play golf and another day to enjoy Madrid with some shopping. If you have more time to explore and learn about the best experiences in Madrid, great, but if not, this is a plan we suggest you just in case you want to plan a long weekend in Madrid.

The Gran Vía is the main access road to Madrid and you will have everything within walking distance. There is a wide variety of theatres, stores, hotels, restaurants… it is very popular, and also very safe. The prices of Madrid hotels are also very reasonable for a big European city unless they match some important event.

If you are going to attend any of the theatres in the area, or you are going to move around the old part of the capital, we recommend you to stay in the old city. This area has been greatly modernized in the last five years and is one of the places you can’t miss on a golf weekend in the capital of Spain.

Gran Via, Chamberi, Barrio de Salamanca are very good options since the access to the exits of Madrid are very fast if you do not go in the rush hour.

We highlight the great and very central 4-star Hotel Princesa Plaza, with its spacious rooms, magnificent views and interior gardens.

From the city centre, you have easy access to play the golf courses of the Centro Nacional, Golf Santander and Retamares Golf.

You can take a look at the Madrid Golf Pass, a special rate for playing 3 golf courses at a very reasonable price. You can’t miss it.

Remember that both hotels and golf courses work with free cancellation policies up to 24 hours before arrival.

We would recommend the private tours with a private guide, as well as the established tours in a program that works very well. Both options list several different types of activities to see and do in Madrid, which you can combine with your green fee on the golf course you play. Tours can vary from a tour of the city to a local cooking class. And keep in mind that Madrid and Spain are not just summer destinations. You can discover that visiting Spain in winter may be more attractive monetarily and calm.

Private transfers will be organized from the airport to the hotel as well as to the golf courses and everywhere you need.

Tee Times Golf Agency is more than pleased to assist you and to offer you the best golf packages and all the necessary additional information.

The Madrid Golf Courses Association (ACGM) grows thanks to the incorporation of the Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro Golf Course, one of the oldest and most exclusive golf course in Spain. With this, there are now nineteen Madrid golf courses that are an active part of the ACGM.

The ACGM, which just two months ago added the emblematic Real Club La Moraleja Golf Course to its portfolio, continues to grow with a view to the best possible future for golf in Madrid. Courses as new as El Encín Golf Course (inaugurated in 2011) or Santander Golf Course (inaugurated in 2005), find in this association a place of union with historical courses such as Puerta de Hierro Golf Course or the Real Sociedad Hípica Española Club de Campo.

Tee Times Golf Agency also highlights other magnificent golf courses in the Madrid region, such as Retamares Golf Course, Olivar de la Hinojosa Golf Course, Park Golf Course, National Golf Center and Aranjuez Golf Course calling your special attention for the El Encin Hotel with its appealing prices and stunning views of the greens.

Finally, Marta Figueras-Dotti, pioneer as a professional golf player, and member of the Board of the Ladies European Tour, in her role as ambassador of the circuit and on behalf of all the Spanish professional players, thanked Banco Santander in the first place for maintaining and strengthen your support for professional female golf, also to the golf courses, which give the opportunity to promising youngsters to compete in some of the best venues in this country. “One of the things that the players have asked me is that the golf courses were more demanding at the sport level. In this sense I am convinced that we will not have any problem, both for the excellent level of the chosen courses and for going hand in hand with Deporte & Business“.

On a personal level, Figueras-Dotti was very excited about the idea of spreading this great circuit as an ambassador, both nationally and internationally. Marta has wanted to strengthen and perpetuate the golf legacy of Emma Villacieros, recently deceased: “This circuit arrives at a very special moment. As you all know a few weeks ago, Emma Villacieros died. She was my captain since she was 12 years old, she was my president … I think she has been a spectacular person, and what she has done for women’s golf in this country can not be compared with anything. It helped me a lot, it was very influential, and it helped me get there in my career. We owe him a lot, and I concretely very much. She was a very strong woman, very powerful and had a lot of genius. And as a result of this we have thought that in each golf course we are going to play we will plant an oak tree as a symbol of Emma’s strength and power. The symbol will reflect those ideas, the resources, the vitality, the energy and the passion that Emma had for this sport. And in name and in recognition of what this woman has done for me, I want to give at the end of the circuit a prize to the winner of the Santander ranking. I will donate a € 5,000 prize on behalf of Emma Villacieros.”

The Santander Golf Tour will have its own app and website: www.santandergolftour.eu. Likewise, it will be broadcasted through multiple channels, and for the first time it will be retransmitted through Twitter.
