Course 1, designed by Jack Nicklaus, opened in June 1976 with a competition featuring Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Tom Weiskopf and Valentín Barrios. Course 2, laid out by Nicklaus Design under Ron Kirby, opened in 1990. Courses 3 and 4 opened for play in September 2012 and were officially inaugurated in April 2013, funded by the 2003 sale of 33 hectares of Course 2 tennis courts. In March 2018 King Felipe VI granted the title Real, and the club became Real Club La Moraleja.
The club serves as a social hub for members who regularly gather for competitions and social events throughout the year. It functions as a community space where golf enthusiasts come together for both sport and leisure activities.
