Frequently Asked Questions

Is Golf Escalona still open for play?

Unfortunately, Golf Escalona is no longer operational. We understand it closed its doors several years ago, so you won't be able to book a tee time or play a round there today. It's always a good idea to double-check local listings, but all indications are that it's permanently closed.

What kind of golf experience did Golf Escalona offer when it was active?

When it was active, Golf Escalona provided a unique two-part experience. You had a challenging Par 35 nine-hole course, perfect for stretching your game, alongside a shorter, fun Par 27 nine-hole option ideal for a quick round or honing your short game. It offered a more relaxed, local feel compared to the larger resort courses.

Why did Golf Escalona close down?

While the exact reasons can be complex, it appears Golf Escalona faced challenges common to smaller courses, likely related to maintenance costs and economic viability. It's a shame, as it offered a distinct local charm and was a good option for a casual game in the region. Sometimes, these smaller gems just can't keep up.

If I was planning to play Escalona, what nearby courses would you recommend instead?

Since Escalona is closed, we recommend looking at some of the fantastic courses closer to Madrid, like Club de Campo Villa de Madrid for a championship feel, or even some of the smaller, well-kept 9-hole options you'll find scattered around the region. You'll get a much more reliable and enjoyable experience there. We always suggest checking out the courses around Toledo for some hidden gems too.

What was the best time to visit Golf Escalona, and what were the typical green fees?

Historically, the spring and autumn months were ideal for playing Escalona, offering pleasant temperatures without the intense summer heat that Spain can bring. Green fees were generally quite reasonable, making it an accessible option for a casual round compared to some of the larger resorts. It was definitely a good value for a relaxed day on the links.
