Club de Golf Paderne

Club de Golf Paderne offers an 18-hole Pitch & Putt course in Paderne, in the province of A Coruña, Galicia. Set in peaceful, natural surroundings, it combines a course with a record of hosting national competitions, a golf academy and a driving range. Rural accommodation is also part of the club’s offering, bringing a place to stay into the picture for visiting golfers.

What to expect on the course

The layout has a distinct change of character between its outer sections and its middle. The opening and closing holes are simpler and have fewer trees, while the central holes are more technical. That contrast is the main feature to bear in mind when getting acquainted with the course: the level of difficulty is not uniform throughout the 18 holes.

Pitch & Putt is the focus here. Rather than describing the whole course as either straightforward or technical, it is more useful to distinguish between those different sections. The less wooded holes at the start and finish frame a more demanding middle stretch, all within the same quiet, natural setting in Paderne.

A record of hosting championships

The course opened in 2014 and has since hosted five Spanish Championships. In July 2023, the club also staged the Galicia Interclub Pitch & Putt Championship. These events give a concrete sense of its competitive history alongside the peaceful setting that otherwise characterises the venue.

For a visitor unfamiliar with Paderne, both aspects help explain the club: it is an 18-hole Pitch & Putt facility with experience of hosting championship play, as well as a place with teaching and practice facilities.

Learning, practice and accommodation

The academy offers introductory courses consisting of eight weekly lessons, with no more than eight people in each group. Those are the key details for anyone considering taking up the game here: a defined lesson programme and a stated maximum group size.

A driving range complements the academy and course. The club also offers rural accommodation, an additional consideration for golfers travelling to this part of Galicia. Taken together, the course, teaching, practice facilities and accommodation make up Paderne’s offering, with its 18-hole Pitch & Putt layout at the centre.
