Ria de Vigo Golf

Ria de Vigo Golf brings together an 18-hole course, a nine-hole Pitch and Putt and outdoor leisure facilities in Moaña, in Galicia’s province of Pontevedra. Its setting on the Vigo estuary gives views towards the city of Vigo, the Rande bridge and the sea. For a golfer considering a visit, both the course and its waterside surroundings are part of the picture.

The main course

Designed by Ramón Espinosa and opened in 1993, Campo de Golf Ría de Vigo is an 18-hole, par-72 layout covering 65 hectares. Six lakes and a river add difficulty, alongside the natural terrain. Water is therefore more than a feature of the views: it also contributes to the demands of the round.

The combination of terrain and water gives useful context when assessing the course. Its length tells only part of the story; the lakes, river and natural ground also need to be considered. Beyond the playing area, the outlook takes in the estuary, with Vigo and the Rande bridge among the landmarks visible from the club’s setting.

Choosing a set of tees

Four sets of tees provide the following course lengths:

• White: 6,080 metres.
• Yellow: 5,955 metres.
• Blue: 5,409 metres.
• Red: 5,097 metres.

These figures offer a straightforward way to compare the distances before a visit. The main course is a par 72, with the overall length depending on the tees selected. Read together with the presence of six lakes, a river and natural terrain, the measurements give a fuller outline of what the course involves than distance alone.

Beyond the 18 holes

The club also has a nine-hole Pitch and Putt, adding another form of golf alongside the main layout. When looking at the club’s golf provision, it is worth distinguishing the two: the 18-hole course is complemented by this separate Pitch and Putt option.

Away from golf, Ria de Vigo Golf has multipurpose facilities and outdoor swimming pools. These broaden what is available at the club beyond the courses themselves. For visitors exploring golf in this part of Galicia, the combination is clear: an established 18-hole layout, a nine-hole Pitch and Putt and other facilities, all in a setting overlooking the Vigo estuary.
