Real Club de Golf Lomas-Bosque

Real Club de Golf Lomas-Bosque is in Villaviciosa de Odón, in the Madrid region. For golfers planning a visit, its offering brings together an 18-hole course, a separate nine-hole par-three course and a golf academy. The clubhouse adds views across the course and lake towards the Sierra de Guadarrama, placing the golf within its wider setting.

The main course

Robert Dean Putman designed the 18-hole, par-72 course, which opened in 1973. The layout follows the contours of the land and combines two nines with different characteristics. That contrast is a defining feature: rather than presenting the same character throughout, the round brings together two distinct halves within one course.

Trees and a lake running alongside much of the layout contribute to both its appearance and its strategy. They are more than background scenery, forming part of the golfing challenge alongside the terrain. These are the main elements to keep in mind when considering Lomas-Bosque: the shape of the land, the contrasting nines and the presence of trees and water.

Course lengths

There are five sets of tees, with total lengths ranging from 4,547 to 6,141 metres. For visitors comparing the available distances, the full breakdown is:

• Black tees: 6,141 metres.
• White tees: 5,869 metres.
• Yellow tees: 5,288 metres.
• Red tees: 5,029 metres.
• Green tees: 4,547 metres.

Those different lengths provide another consideration when planning a round. Each set of tees presents the same 18-hole design at a different total distance, while retaining the features that give the course its character: the contours, the trees and the lake.

More than the 18-hole layout

The club also has a nine-hole course made up of par threes. It offers a different format from the main course, giving Lomas-Bosque two distinct golfing options within the same club. A golf academy is also part of the facilities, alongside the two courses and the clubhouse.

The clubhouse and its views

The clubhouse, known as the Chalet Social, opened in 1993. Its outlook takes in the golf course, the lake and the Sierra de Guadarrama. For a visitor, it offers another perspective on the setting: the landscape seen during the round becomes part of the clubhouse views too.
