At LaFinca every hole is named after a lake somewhere in the world. The 15th is Bled, a par 3 over water. The 18th is Cráter.
It is one of the newest courses around Madrid, designed by Blake Stirling and Marco Martin, who worked with Pete Dye. Wide fairways, greens with lots of pin positions and five sets of tees, on 75 hectares planted with more than 2,200 trees.
And it is 15 minutes from the centre of Madrid, in the Somosaguas area.

How a round here works
Monday to Thursday, around midday
LaFinca is a members’ club that opens to visitors Monday to Thursday. Its online visitor tee times are between 12:00 and 14:00. For other times we ask the clubhouse for you.
The club asks every visitor for a valid golf licence or handicap certificate. Your home federation’s is fine, bring it with you.
Electric buggies, electric trolleys, rental clubs and a caddie can be added. You can also book the round with one of the club’s pros.
We book the tee time and confirm it in writing. The price depends on the day and your group, and we confirm it with your tee time.
