Real Montealegre club de golf

Real Montealegre club de golf lies 5 km from Ourense, in Galicia. For a golfer visiting the area, it brings together an 18-hole course, a nine-hole course and a Pitch&Put, with a golf school and clubhouse facilities alongside them. The setting of the longer course is central to its character: it follows the slope of Montealegre, making stance an important part of the game.

Golf on the Montealegre slope

The 18-hole course opened in 2007 and was designed by Ana y Jorge Canal Montes. A par 71, it calls for a technical approach, with particular attention to how you set up over the ball.

The slope is more than a backdrop to the round. It makes the player's stance a fundamental consideration, so the position from which a shot is played deserves as much thought as the intended target. That relationship between the ground and the golfer is the defining feature to keep in mind on a first visit.

The club's nine-hole course predates it. Designed by José A. Núñez Sal and opened in 1993, it provides another playing option within the club, alongside the later 18-hole layout.

Short-game practice and tuition

The Pitch&Put gives the short game its own place in the club's golf offering. It is used for practice and hosts tournaments regularly, adding a competitive element as well as somewhere to work on this part of your golf.

There is also a golf school. The school, physical preparation and restaurant each have a separate page in this guide, bringing the club's activity beyond the courses into focus. Together, these are further aspects to explore when considering a visit to Montealegre.

Time off the course

The clubhouse contains changing rooms, a café and a restaurant. Its terrace looks out over the course, keeping the golf setting in view when you stop for a break or finish your round. An outdoor swimming pool is another of the club's facilities.
