About this Project:
As we enter into our third year of installing courses, we are excited to share our next location will be Madrid, Spain! This will be the first course installed in the city and will be built on the campus of Complutense University, Spain’s largest public university. The driving force behind the project's approval is Madrid International Disc Golf (MIDG), a club that has been promoting disc golf in the capital city for seven years.
We will be installing an 18-hole course complete with teesigns, teepads, and a practice basket on the Complutense University campus. The course will feature a beginner-friendly layout that will not only target the university students, but also be open to the rest of Madrid's 6.7 million residents. MIDG has already helped establish a player base by hosting events with portable targets, making it perfectly positioned for success.
Latitude 64 will be the primary sponsor - it's the Swedish company's first project with the Paul McBeth Foundation - and we will also be working with PDGA Europe.
Why Madrid?
One of our core focus areas is major cities around the world, making Madrid an ideal location. With no permanent courses within city limits and a population of 6.7 million, disc golf has incredible potential.
There is no questioning MIDG’s dedication to growing the sport in the city, and this made it an even easier decision to make this our next project location. We believe this course will achieve PMF's goals of giving access to a wide variety of people and will help spur more disc golf activity in the country as a whole.
