Campo 3
Campo 4 featuring fast, undulating greens, dense tree cover, lakes, and out-ofbounds areas that require smart shot selection. Strategy is essential throughout the round. The course has hosted top-tier international tournaments, including the Open de España, the Johnnie Walker Classic( 1981 and 1984), and the Oki Pro-Am. Its signature hole is the 18th— a short par 5 with out-of-bounds on both sides and a lake guarding the green. Attempting to reach the green in two is risky, as it’ s narrow, sharply sloped toward the water, and protected by bunkers. Supporting facilities include a driving range, putting green, and short game practice area, making Course 1 not just a historical venue but also a complete golfing destination.
Campo 2- 18 holes- Par 72- 6.321m Course 2 at Real Club La Moraleja was designed by Nicklaus Design under architect Ron Kirby and lies adjacent to Course 1 in the La Moraleja development. Unlike the shorter, more technical Course 1,
Course 2 places greater emphasis on distance. Originally a barren expanse, it has evolved into a long, wooded, and demanding layout with large, undulating greens and four lakes that influence play on six holes. Recent efforts have focused on sustainability, including the introduction of low-maintenance grass species and converting unused areas into gravel zones with native vegetation. These changes have enhanced the course’ s unique character and visual appeal. The signature hole is the 16th, a moderately long par 5 with a right dog-leg and a striking peninsula-shaped green. Course 2 has hosted major international events, including the 1992 World Cup— won by Davis Love III and Fred Couples— which marked the course’ s official opening. It also held the Spanish Open( 2000) and the Oki Pro-Am, played across both courses. Comprehensive practice facilities for both long and short games round out this challenging and beautifully developed course.
Campo 3- 18 holes- Par 72- 6.830 m Course 3 at Real Club La Moraleja, like Course 1, is a " Signature Jack Nicklaus " design. Opened in 2013 alongside Course 4, it is located in the municipality of Algete and stands out as one of the Club’ s most modern layouts. Nicklaus transformed a flat estate into gently rolling terrain, creating a classic parkland-style course with variety and strategy on nearly every hole. Measuring 6,830 meters, Course 3 is tournament-ready yet enjoyable for amateurs, thanks to its wide fairways and large greens. Three lakes come into play on half the holes, while 68 bunkers and over 1,200 newly planted trees shape the course’ s strategic demands. Both distance and smart shot-making are essential, rewarding players who can combine power with precision— especially those who can shape a controlled fade. Environmental sustainability was a key part of the course’ s design,
