What Golf Programs Can People Over 65 Join in Madrid?

Madrid residents over 65 can look into Golf a los 65, a program offering introductory lessons and historically discounted access at participating facilities. The published discounts and prices date to the program’s original agreement, so confirm current terms before enrolling or booking. Beginners can also contact Madrid golf schools directly; a federative license is required to play on an officially homologated course.
What golf programs can people over 65 join in Madrid?
People over 65 in the Community of Madrid can ask about Golf a los 65, an introductory program established by the Community of Madrid, the Spanish Golf Federation (RFEG) and the Madrid Golf Federation. Its historical offer included theory and practice classes at Centro Nacional de Golf, with a 40% discount, once a week in groups of up to seven, Monday to Friday before 14:00.
The Madrid Golf Federation also described free access to its practice range when space was available. These are historical terms, not a promise of current availability. The relevant pages refer to the original agreement, so treat the discounts, schedules and prices as details to verify directly.
The original agreement specified Madrid residence and proof of age over 65 for the Centro Nacional de Golf green-fee offer. It listed 18 holes for €32 after January 2013, and a 50% weekday green-fee discount at Centro de Tecnificación before 12:00. These prices and conditions are historical. Before planning a round, ask whether Golf a los 65 is active, what proof is accepted, and which days and times qualify.
For an up-to-date learning option, the federation’s beginner guidance says Madrid has nearly 40 practice and teaching facilities, including short courses and pitch-and-putt options. It recommends contacting a nearby school, course or facility. That gives you a practical route if the senior program’s current status is unclear.

How do I sign up for Golf a los 65?
The published Golf a los 65 pages do not provide an application form or step-by-step enrollment process, so start by contacting the federation or Centro de Tecnificación to confirm whether registration is open and what documents are needed.
The Madrid Golf Federation’s program page gives RFEG’s email as [email protected] and Centro de Tecnificación’s phone as 91 376 87 70 and email as [email protected]. When you contact them, make the request specific: “Is Golf a los 65 currently accepting participants? What proof of age and Madrid residence do I need, and how do I book lessons or a round?”
If you are signing up for lessons through a school rather than the senior program, ask about the next course start, available time slots, total fee and whether equipment is included. The federation says beginners do not need to buy clubs before introductory lessons because schools provide clubs and balls. This lets you confirm the practical details before spending money on equipment.
Centro Nacional de Golf lists adult group classes at several levels, including initiation, with instruction on the practice range, short-game area and course; clubs are included during classes. Its page lists adult summer intensives in July and August, with weekday classes of 85 minutes and a stated price of €125. It also says new students may join an ongoing course and pay a proportional fee. Check the school’s current calendar and prices before choosing a course.
Centro de Tecnificación lists adult collective classes as 12-week courses, with one 50-minute class per week and groups of up to six. Its listed fee is €158.90, including equipment and a school green fee for a course outing; practice balls are charged separately. The page does not list a senior-specific discount. For new-course places, it says requests can be made in person or by phone on the first admissions day, with email requests handled from the second day.
Are golf lessons discounted for seniors in Madrid?
Golf a los 65 historically offered a 40% discount on theory and practice courses at Centro Nacional de Golf, but current eligibility and pricing must be confirmed with the facility.
The Madrid Golf Federation’s program page describes the course discount as 40% off the retail price and free practice-range access when facilities were available. It also reports the historical green-fee terms at Centro Nacional de Golf and Centro de Tecnificación. The RFEG page is dated October 25, 2012, and the quoted prices relate to the original agreement; neither should be treated as today’s price without confirmation.
Compare the senior program with standard adult classes before you commit. For example, the Centro de Tecnificación page lists a €158.90 adult group course but does not state a senior discount. Centro Nacional de Golf publishes individual course schedules and prices, including an adult summer intensive listed at €125. These published offers may differ by term, group size and included services, so compare the actual course you want rather than assuming the old discount applies.
Ask each facility these three questions: “Is the over-65 discount currently active? What is the final price for my chosen dates? Does the fee include equipment, practice balls or a supervised course outing?” A short, direct check prevents confusion between a lesson discount, range access and a green-fee discount—they are separate benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a golf license and handicap to play on a course?
The Madrid Golf Federation says a federative license is required to play on an officially homologated course. The original Golf a los 65 terms also required a handicap for course access under that offer. Ask the course which handicap requirements apply to your booking.
Which Madrid golf facilities offer beginner lessons for older adults?
The federation lists beginner-learning options including the Escuela Centro Nacional de Golf, Centro Deportivo Somontes, Escuela de Golf Norte Madrid and Golf Negralejo. Its guidance is to contact a nearby school or facility about introductory courses; the sources do not identify any of these as exclusively for older adults.
