Club de Campo Villa de Madrid (Negro)

Overview: Javier Arana's Negro Course brings an 18-hole parkland test into central Madrid, using rolling ground, mature trees, elevation changes, and shaped approaches. Its tournament record gives the urban layout a national sporting profile.

History: An initial nine-hole layout dates to 1932, but the current Negro Course was designed by Javier Arana after the Spanish Civil War and inaugurated in 1956. The earlier date describes the club's first golf phase; 1956 is the opening of the exact Negro routing.

Did You Know? The Negro Course was built over ground marked by wartime trenches around Madrid. Its changes in level are therefore part of both the site's physical history and Arana's design response to the land.
