SOMOSAGUAS GOLF CLUB
🇪🇸 Pozuelo de Alarcon, Comunidad de Madrid, ES
Designed by John Harris
Somosaguas Golf Club occupies a wooded property in Pozuelo de Alarcón, a residential municipality immediately west of Madrid's city center. Designed by British architect John Harris and opened in the early 1970s, the course serves the capital's western suburbs and represents one of several Harris designs in Spain from that era. The layout works through rolling terrain covered with mature pine and oak, creating a parkland character distinct from the more open landscapes found in other parts of the Madrid region.
The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through tree-lined corridors. Water features appear on a handful of holes, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering that requires thoughtful course management rather than overwhelming length. The property's proximity to Madrid makes it accessible for members and visitors staying in the capital, though the tree canopy and residential setting provide a sense of separation from the urban environment.
Somosaguas functions primarily as a private members' club, serving local families and golf enthusiasts from the surrounding communities. The club maintains traditional Spanish golf club customs, with dining and social facilities that complement the golf offering. While not a tournament venue of national prominence, the course provides a consistent test for club competitions and regional amateur events within the Madrid golf community.
