A pleasant course set in the countryside
The course is typified by narrow serpentine fairways with gentle undulating levels. Many holes are fraught with ravines and tree scrub waiting to catch any wayward shots. The greens tend to be slightly elevated and small making approach shots difficult. The course is well watered where you are playing 'Dart Golf' meaning your shots stop dead where they land. This is pleasant course set in pleasant countryside surroundings, it’s not a great course but it’s not a bad one either.
Can you make reservations? Yes. Can you play without a reservation? Yes but golf on Fridays and the weekend is very expensive LOCATION: 25km west of the city centre.

A great opportunity to play golf in the city of Madrid
Designed by Jose Rivero (European Ryder Cup player) the Olivar de la Hinojosa Golf Club is best described as an "Urban inner city course" you cannot call it a pretty golf course as the surrounding landscape is industrial with the main motorway from the airport in view from all areas of the course. However, its disadvantage is also its greatest asset as this golf course is the possibly the closet golf course available for visitors to play in any major capital city in Europe. Literally only 2 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from the city centre this is great opportunity to get a quick game of golf in whilst staying in the city of Madrid.
This is a good solid golf course with a generous par 72 making the golf course very playable and enjoyable for all abilities. The condition of the course is well watered with a good covering of quality carpet like grass throughout the tees fairways and greens. This is not the best golf course in Madrid but certainly good enough for well traveled golfers to thoroughly enjoy.
The course is gently undulating.The course is suitable for novice & high handicap players
Reservations are a must. LOCATION: 10km from the city centre

Feels like you're playing golf in the UK
Retamares in many ways feels like you are playing golf in the UK. Very similar to the explosion of new golf courses that have been built on baron farmland. Firm fairways and greens with exposed holes to the elements with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its advantage is that it is not that far from the east side of the city, airport and conference centre. Considering that only a handful of golf courses allow visitors to play their golf courses in Madrid, this is one golf course that you will be able to play.

WINTER SKIING
Valdesqui near Cotos has 24 slopes and usually the best snow, while Valcotos has the most attractive setting. For up-to-date details on skiing accommodations, locations, and snow conditions around Madrid in general, contact ATUDEM (tel. 91-350-20-20). They only speak Spanish, so you may want to get someone to help translate. Skiing conditions are generally limited; for many the main pleasure in such outings is seeing the beautiful surrounding countryside covered in a white blanket of snow.
For both Navacerrada and Valdesqui you will need to arrive at the ski resort around 7am as parking is limited and by 8am there is a queue several kilometers long to get into the parking area. The slopes open at 9am.
A little further afield at around 90km from Madrid you will find "La Piñilla" which offers some good black ski runs but it's pretty hit and miss if the weather is going to offer good conditions for skiing and plan on leaving super early if you are going by car in order to get a parking spot which doesn't involve hopping on a bus to get to the pistes. The information telephone number for this ski resort 902 87 90 70 for the condition on the slopes or visit their website: www.lapinilla.es
