Real Aero Club de Vigo

Overview: Standing as a historic pillar of the sport in Northwestern Spain, the Real Aero Club de Vigo is officially recognized as the oldest golf club in Galicia. Founded in 1951 with its championship facilities inaugurated in 1962, the 9-hole, par-35 course occupies a uniquely privileged position directly adjacent to the Peinador Airport. The routing is characterized by its rhythmic, flat topography, which is masterfully interspersed with a mature stock of ancient trees and strategic water hazards. Celebrated for its tranquil atmosphere despite its aviation-centric location, the course offers a balanced and engaging test of skill that serves as the cornerstone of the region’s golfing community.

Beyond its technical challenges, the club is a social and recreational hub for the city, featuring extensive facilities that include one of the region’s most well-regarded pro shops and traditional Galician dining. Its status as a "Royal" institution reflects its long-standing commitment to the traditions of the game, making it a "must-visit" for golfers seeking an authentic, high-heritage round in the lush heart of the Vigo coastline.
