The SAN MIGUEL XVI CIRCUITO ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE COSTA DEL SOL DESTINO REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA BY GLOBALIA returned once again to La Dehesa, the Madrid club that successfully hosted the event for yet another year. The La Dehesa tournament 2026 brought together 152 players in consecutive tee times and confirmed the course as one of the most popular stops on the mid-season leg of the circuit.
The circuit returns to La Dehesa with 152 players
The La Dehesa tournament 2026 ran smoothly thanks to the ongoing improvements at the club, masterfully managed by Abel Jiménez. His work continues to make a fantastic contribution to establishing La Dehesa as one of the leading family golf clubs in Madrid, a brand that is increasingly recognisable within the capital’s golf scene.
Players highlighted the work of the greenkeeping team on a day when the course presented an excellent standard of play. The organisation also benefited from the availability and professionalism of the caddy master team, led by Carlos Hernández and Raúl Criado, who made the coordination of such a busy tee sheet straightforward and enjoyable.
Atmosphere, on-course catering and experiences during the day
Throughout the day, participants in the La Dehesa tournament 2026 enjoyed the circuit’s official on-course catering with San Miguel beers and Solán de Cabras water. The pass through hole 10 also included a snack prepared by the club itself, a rest stop that was very well received around the course.
At the end of the round, the atmosphere carried on around the Clubhouse, where players shared impressions of the layout and extended the day in the bright sunshine that is so typical of La Dehesa.
