In this post we explore the keys that have made Meaztegi Golf a reference model in public golf.
A public access golf course with competitive rates, a public reference in Biscay
Golf for all levels and budgets
One of the great virtues of Meaztegi Golf is that it is a publicly owned course. This means that anyone can access the course, without having to be a member or pay high entrance fees. Its affordable rates, with discounts for minors, over 65s, women, unemployed people and regular players, make it a truly inclusive space.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, Meaztegi offers the possibility of playing on a high level course at adapted prices. In addition, the club also promotes special campaigns, monthly vouchers and special prices for groups, thus promoting access to the sport for families, associations and educational centers.
Facilities to enjoy more than just golf
Meaztegi Golf is not only an 18-hole course. Its offer is completed with:
- A 9-hole Pitch & Putt course, perfect for training the short game or getting started in golf.
- A large practice area with covered and uncovered tees.
- A restaurant with a panoramic terrace, ideal for those looking to relax with views of the sea and mountains.
- Equipment rental service, buggies, personalized lessons and specialized store.
All this in a natural environment that preserves the mining essence of the area, with lakes, pine trees and spectacular views.
Professional design within everyone’s reach
The legacy of Seve Ballesteros
Meaztegi Golf’s 18-hole, par-72 main course was designed by Severiano Ballesteros, one of the most iconic figures in world golf. Seve wanted to create a challenging but fair course, suitable for both high-level competition and amateur players.
With more than 6,500 meters in length, the course offers holes with different levels of difficulty, changes in elevation, technical doglegs and large, well-protected greens. The playing experience is unique thanks to its strategic design and its perfect integration into the landscape.
Unparalleled views of Greater Bilbao and the coastline
One of the most striking surprises for visitors is the scenery. From several holes you can enjoy views of the Nervión estuary, the Abra and the Cantabrian Sea, a natural postcard that transforms each game into a memorable experience.

Golf school for all ages
Meaztegi Golf has also pioneered the development of a public golf school, open to children, youth and adults. This school is part of a long-term social and sports project that seeks to democratize golf in Bizkaia.
It has more than 1,200 students, weekly classes, specialized clinics and programs adapted to all ages and levels. It also collaborates with federations and talent detection programs to train new generations.
Venue for official tournaments and social events
The course regularly hosts local, national and international tournaments. Among them, the Bizkaia PGAe Open, considered the “big one” of national golf, stands out. These types of events place Meaztegi on the professional golf map, generating at the same time a positive impact on tourism and the local economy.
The club also organizes social tournaments, amateur competitions, interclub leagues and solidarity activities. All this reinforces its role as a meeting and community space.
A public referent in Bizkaia for the future of golf
Meaztegi Golf represents a new way of understanding this sport. With a clearly public, inclusive and sustainable vocation, it has been able to combine professional design with an open access policy, first class facilities and a firm commitment to training.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that it has established itself as the public course of reference in Bizkaia. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran, a local player or a visitor, Meaztegi Golf offers you a complete experience, surrounded by nature, history and passion for golf.
