Golf is a sport that goes beyond the strokes and the result of a card: it is a connection with the environment, with the calm of the landscape and the beauty of the course. In that sense, few courses in Spain can boast such a unique environment as Meaztegi Golf, located in La Arboleda, Bizkaia.

Designed by Severiano Ballesteros and conceived as a public and inclusive course, Meaztegi not only offers a technical and accessible course, but also gives each player an immersive experience in the Basque nature.

A field nestled in the heart of the Basque countryside

La Arboleda is an old mining enclave transformed into a natural space where the green of the mountains coexists with the memories of its industrial history. There, a few kilometers from Bilbao, Meaztegi Golf is located, surrounded by forests, hills and artificial lagoons that give the course a unique atmosphere.

• From the field you can enjoy panoramic views of Greater Bilbao, with the contrast between the modern city and the natural environment.
• The native vegetation and the altitude create a changing landscape depending on the season.
• The Cantabrian breeze and the fresh mountain air accompany each round.

Playing in Meaztegi is, above all, an encounter with nature.

Seve Ballesteros ‘ vision in design

Severiano Ballesteros’ design respected the environment of La Arboleda to the maximum. The 18-hole par 72 course takes advantage of the natural undulations of the terrain to create a technical course, surrounded by spectacular views.

• Streets framed by hills that invite a strategic game.
• Wide, undulating greens that challenge even the most experienced players.
• Natural and artificial obstacles integrated into the landscape, such as lagoons that recall the mining heritage.

Seve knew how to combine the sporting challenge with the scenic beauty, achieving a course where each hole is a photographic memory.

Pitch & putt with privileged views

In addition to the main course, Meaztegi has a 9-hole pitch & putt course, perfect for those looking to get started in golf or practice the short game.

This more compact course also benefits from the spectacular views of La Arboleda, making it an ideal setting for both training and enjoying a faster round of golf in the Basque countryside.

An environment that changes with each season

One of the great attractions of Meaztegi Golf is the variety of landscapes offered throughout the year.

• In spring, green meadows and blooming vegetation fill the countryside with color.
• In summer, the mild climate of the north allows playing in pleasant conditions even on the hottest days.
• In autumn, the nearby forests dye the landscape with ochre and reddish tones.
• In winter, the occasional fog and the freshness of the air add a unique atmosphere, while still being a practicable course.

Each season turns a round at Meaztegi into a different experience.

Nature and community: a public field with soul

Unlike many private courses, Meaztegi Golf was conceived as a public course, open to all citizens. Its location in a natural setting such as La Arboleda not only reinforces the environmental value of the project, but also its commitment to the community.

• It promotes democratic access to golf, bringing it closer to people of all ages and levels.
• It revitalizes the tourist environment of La Arboleda, an area known for its mining landscapes and its traditional gastronomic offer.
• It becomes a meeting place where sport, nature and history go hand in hand.

An experience that goes beyond golf

Visiting Meaztegi Golf is much more than just playing a round. At the end of the round, players can enjoy all that La Arboleda has to offer:

• Hiking and nature trails among mountains and lagoons.
• Typical restaurants where you can taste beans, cod or grilled meats.
• A mining village atmosphere preserved in the local architecture and tradition.

This makes Meaztegi a perfect destination to combine sport, nature and Basque culture.
