Las Margas Golf

Las Margas Golf brings together two José María Olazábal designs in Sabiñánigo, in the province of Huesca, Aragón. Set beside the River Gállego and surrounded by nature, the club has an 18-hole, par-71 main course and a separate nine-hole Pitch & Putt.

For a visiting golfer, the distinction between those two layouts is a useful starting point. The main course provides the 18-hole round, while the Pitch & Putt adds a short-course format within the same complex. A practice area and golf academy complete the golfing facilities.

The main course

The main layout has 18 holes and a par of 71. Its design draws on Olazábal’s experience, as does the club’s Pitch & Putt. His involvement therefore extends across both courses rather than being limited to the main layout.

One particular feature to look out for during the round is at the 12th hole. Here, escalators provide the connection to the following hole. They are a distinctive part of moving around the course, with views of the surrounding area to enjoy along the way.

A riverside setting in Aragón

The club’s location places it beside the Gállego, with nature surrounding the complex. Sabiñánigo is the town to identify when placing Las Margas on a travel itinerary; administratively, it lies in Huesca province, within Aragón.

The views from the escalators at the 12th add another perspective on that setting. Alongside the riverside location, this is a specific detail worth knowing about the course before a visit, beyond its hole count and par.

Short-course golf and learning

The nine-hole Pitch & Putt offers a different format from the main course, while retaining the connection with Olazábal as its designer. It is a separate part of the club’s golf offering, rather than another name for the 18-hole layout.

There is also a practice area, together with a golf academy. These give the complex a teaching and practice dimension in addition to its two courses, bringing the different elements of playing and learning together at Las Margas.
