Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf experience like at Colmenar Viejo's only course?

You'll find a surprisingly engaging round at Club de Golf Colmenar Viejo, despite it being the sole option here. The course offers a solid test with some tricky elevation changes and fantastic views of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains, especially on the back nine. It's a well-maintained, honest track that demands accuracy, not just brute force.

When is the best time of year to play golf in Colmenar Viejo?

We highly recommend visiting in spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) for ideal playing conditions. The weather is pleasantly mild, and the course is typically in superb shape without the intense summer heat or the chill of winter. You'll avoid the peak tourist crowds too, making for a more relaxed round.

Is Colmenar Viejo worth visiting just for its single golf course?

Honestly, we wouldn't suggest a dedicated golf trip solely for Colmenar Viejo's one course, but it's an excellent day trip if you're already in the Madrid area. It offers a refreshing escape from the city hustle and a chance to play a quality course with stunning mountain backdrops. Think of it as a rewarding addition to your Spanish itinerary, not the main event.

How accessible is the golf course in Colmenar Viejo from Madrid?

Getting to the course from Madrid is quite straightforward, making it an easy day trip. You can reach Colmenar Viejo by car in about 30-40 minutes, or take a direct Cercanías train from Chamartín station, followed by a short taxi ride to the club. We always recommend checking local transport schedules, but it's a hassle-free journey.

What else should I explore in Colmenar Viejo after my round?

After your round, take some time to explore the charming town of Colmenar Viejo itself. Wander through its historic center, visit the impressive Basílica de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora, or simply enjoy some authentic local cuisine at one of the traditional taverns. It's a lovely way to experience a slice of authentic Castilian life beyond the greens.
