Don Tello Club de Golf

Don Tello Club de Golf is in Mérida, in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura. For a golfer considering a visit, two features define the course: its length and fairways set within the region’s dehesa landscape. This is a course where the setting matters, but so does the demand of the golf itself.

The club also brings together activities beyond the course. Golf tuition sits alongside horse riding, tennis and padel schools, while a swimming pool, restaurant and golf shop broaden the facilities available at Don Tello.

A long course: bring your driver

The recommendation to carry a driver is worth noting when planning your golf here. Don Tello is a long course with particularly demanding holes, so length is an important part of its character rather than a secondary detail.

Its fairways are integrated into an Extremaduran dehesa. That relationship with the landscape is the other distinctive aspect to keep in mind: a round here combines a demanding course with a setting closely associated with this part of Spain. For a first visit, those two points provide the clearest introduction to the golf.

Tuition and activities beyond golf

Don Tello has a golf school, as well as schools for horse riding, tennis and padel. The range is useful to know about when considering the club for interests other than playing a round. Golf is part of a wider sporting offer, rather than the only activity on site.

The equestrian facilities, golf school, and padel and tennis facilities each have their own guide page. A swimming pool is also among the club’s services, adding another element to the facilities beyond the course and teaching activities.

Restaurant, shop and events

The club’s restaurant is Restaurante El Hoyito. Don Tello also has a golf shop and clubmaker service, with a separate guide page covering that side of the club. These sit alongside the sporting facilities rather than defining the course itself.

Tournaments and events complete the offer. When weighing up a visit, it helps to consider Don Tello in those two parts: a long, demanding golf course within a dehesa, and a club with tuition, other sports, a pool, dining and golf retail.
