Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro, Royal golf club in Madrid, Spain
Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro is a golf club in Madrid with two 18-hole courses featuring carefully designed fairways, bunkers, and water features. The grounds span a large area with varying terrain and natural elements that create challenging playing conditions.
The club was founded in 1895 by Spanish nobility with King Alfonso XIII's backing and played a key role in spreading golf across Spain. Opening the first mainland course in 1904 helped establish the sport in the country.
The club's name comes from the iron gate that once marked the estate entrance. Members and guests can still experience the formal elegance that shapes how the space is used today.
The grounds offer extensive practice facilities with driving ranges, putting greens, and professional instruction for members throughout the year. Spring and autumn provide the best conditions for playing, with moderate temperatures and comfortable playing conditions.
The North Course offers panoramic views of Madrid's skyline while incorporating natural terrain elements into its challenging layout. This combination of city views and natural landscape makes the course particularly engaging for golfers.
