Real Club de Golf de Castiello

Just 5 km from Gijón, Real Club de Golf de Castiello brings together an 18-hole course and a long place in the history of Spanish golf. Founded in 1958, it is the oldest golf club in Asturias and one of Spain’s most emblematic clubs. For a golfer visiting this part of northern Spain, its setting and heritage are as much a part of the introduction as its par-70 layout.

The club occupies an elevated position overlooking a landscape of trees and meadows. Its proximity to Gijón places the course close to the city, while those views give it a distinctly landscape-led setting. These are useful starting points when considering where Castiello fits into a visit to Asturias.

The course and its history

Castiello began with nine holes. An expansion undertaken in 1981 brought the course to its present 18-hole configuration. The two dates tell different parts of the story: 1958 marks the foundation of the club, and 1981 marks the enlargement of the course.

Today, golfers will find an 18-hole, par-70 course. That layout is the result of the club’s development from its original nine holes, rather than a course that opened with all 18. Its history offers a perspective on the growth of golf in Asturias alongside the practical interest of the present course.

Beyond the round

The facilities extend beyond the golf course itself. Castiello has a golf academy, a restaurant and a clubhouse, as well as croquet. Together, they give visitors several aspects of the club to explore, from golf instruction to dining and another sporting activity.

• Golf academy.
• Restaurant.
• Clubhouse.
• Croquet.

Each of these facilities has its own page in the guide, allowing the course overview to be read alongside more focused entries on the other parts of the club.

Placing Castiello in your visit

For travellers using Gijón as a point of reference, the key distance is 5 km from the city. Castiello’s appeal rests on that nearby location, its elevated outlook over trees and meadows, and the continuity of a club founded in 1958. The golf course remains central, supported by the academy, dining facilities, clubhouse and croquet.
