Campo de Golf Meis

Meis, Galicia, Spain

Campo de Golf Meis is an 18-hole championship course located near Pontevedra in Galicia, northwest Spain, set on the Monte Castrove plateau and surrounded by a dense forest of Galician stone pines. Designed by Antonio Grande and inaugurated on 17 May 2000, the course plays to a par of 72 and stretches to 6,263 metres from the back tees, carrying a course rating of 74.0 and a slope of 142. The course is owned and managed by the Monte Castrove Foundation, a body representing several local municipalities, and was previously administered for a decade by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation. The layout follows the natural contours of the plateau, featuring wide fairways, doglegs, and six lakes that introduce water hazards throughout the round. Dense pine lining along the fairways demands accuracy off the tee, and the rough can grow considerably long, making the course particularly demanding for those who miss the short grass. Despite the length and obstacles, the terrain is relatively gentle and walkable, with only modest elevation changes across the holes. The elevated position of the course provides panoramic views over the Rías de Arousa and Pontevedra, two of Galicia's distinctive coastal inlets. Hole 17 in particular is noted by players for its striking backward views from the tee. The course hosted the European Ladies Team Championship in 2001, giving it notable tournament pedigree in women's golf at European level.
