Pitch & Putt Course
Golf La Moraleja 1
About this course
Golf La Moraleja is a multi-course facility located in Alcobendas, a northern suburb of Madrid, established in the 1970s. The club operates several full-length courses and this pitch and putt layout, which bears Jack Nicklaus's name and reflects his involvement with the property. The facility sits in a residential area that developed alongside the golf courses, creating one of the Madrid region's prominent golf communities. The pitch and putt course serves as a short-game practice venue and an accessible introduction to golf for beginners and juniors. Typical of such layouts, it features holes ranging from approximately 50 to 120 yards, emphasizing approach shots and putting rather than full swings. The design incorporates enough variety in green complexes and hazards to challenge short-game skills while remaining playable for those new to the sport. La Moraleja's broader facility has hosted professional events on the European Tour and maintains a reputation as one of Madrid's established private clubs. The pitch and putt complements the championship courses by offering members and guests a quicker playing option and a focused environment for honing wedge play and touch around the greens. The club's location near Madrid's business districts has contributed to its role in the capital's golf culture over several decades.
