LA FAISANERA GOLF SEGOVIA

La Faisanera Golf Segovia is in Palazuelos de Eresma, in the province of Segovia, Castilla y León. Designed by José María Olazábal and architect José Luis Bastarreche, the course is supported by a clubhouse, restaurant and golf academy. For visiting golfers, the practical points are its proximity to major roads and an AVE high-speed rail station, alongside a calendar that extends from named tournaments to charity events.

Planning your arrival

The club is close to the AP-61 and A-601, useful reference points when planning a drive to the course. It is also five minutes from the AVE station, making the rail connection worth considering when putting together a golf trip.

That five-minute journey refers to the transfer from the station to the club, rather than the train journey itself. Whether arriving by road or combining rail with a local transfer, these are the access details to bear in mind for a visit to Palazuelos de Eresma.

Beyond the round

The clubhouse brings together a café, restaurant, event and meeting spaces, games areas and panoramic terraces. This gives the visit a broader scope than the time spent on the course, with places for a meal, a meeting or a spell on the terrace.

Golfers planning a group visit can also take the meeting and event spaces into account. The café and restaurant form part of the same clubhouse offering, rather than requiring a separate dining stop elsewhere. The club also has a golf academy, another element to consider when shaping the day around golf.

A varied competition calendar

The calendar includes an afternoon team competition in adapted golf. Alongside it are named sporting events, a memorial tournament and charity competitions, giving visitors several different types of fixture to look out for.

Events listed in the club calendar include:

• Olazabal’s Cup.
• Memorial Paco Bergareche.
• Todo por Valencia AEJGOLF charity tournament.
• Rotary charity tournament.
• Torneo del Jamón Match Quality Golf.
• Campeonato Ilunion.

For a traveller interested in tying a visit to competitive golf, the calendar is a useful part of the planning process. The mix of team adapted golf, charity tournaments and other named events adds another dimension to the club, alongside its course design, academy and clubhouse facilities.
