our selected courses:
catalonia - costa brava

PGA Catalonia G.C.

 

PGA Catalunya - Green
Architect: N. Coles & A. Gallardo.
18 holes: 6588m: par 72.
A spectacular and challenging course designed with European Tour events in mind. From the elevated Clubhouse the course descends through dense pines where the intricate and extensive water features come into play. A challenge for all abilities.

PGA Catalunya - Red
Architect: N. Coles & A. Gallardo.
18 holes: 5901m: par 72.
Younger, shorter and slightly easier than the Green course. The Red course is the ideal venue to hone your game before taking on the myriad dangers of the big course. By no means a lesser course though, as teh standards of Green-keeping are just as impressive over all 36-holes.
 


Emporda G.C.

 

Empordá - Forest
Architect: R. Von Hagge.

18 holes: 6165m: par 72.
Starting in the sunlight the first two holes lead you away from the sanctuary of the Clubhouse into the depths of the pine forest beyond. When the heat is on the cool scented shade they provide is a magical place to play golf. At the far end of the forest you will find (or hopefully not find!) the added complication of a lake or two to cross...
A delightful course, well worthy of its place on the European Tour Qualifying rota.


Empordá - Links
Architect: R. Von Hagge.

6160m: par 71: par 35.
The original "links" nine have been extended with nine more remarkable holes - some of which are truly spectacular. Perhaps not classical links golf, due to the abundance of sculpted lakes to negotiate, but the rolling terrain and knee-high rough are reminiscent of the best of the celtic links.

 


Pals G.C.   Pals
Architect: F. Hawtree.

18 holes: 6222m: par 73.
The oldest club in the area. A level stretch of pine forest close to the sea was transformed by Fred Hawtree into a delightful golfing challenge for all levels of player. Shortish and tight, thick canopies of parasol pines line every fairway and the greens are well defended with sand.
Charming Clubhouse will entice you to linger longer after your game.

Peralada
Architect: J. Soler.

18 holes: 6128m: par 72.
A course that will have you thinking on every tee with bunkers seemingly always on a good drive. The terrain is studded with squat olive trees lending an unusual appearance to the course at first sight. Fabulous new hotel and wine spa on site should you wish to stay "on-course".
 

Perelada G.C.


Girona G.C.   Girona
Architect: F. Hawtree.
18 holes: 6100m: par 72.
The same architect as Pals but with strikingly different terrain to work with. Just North of Girona this is a hilly course so a buggy is worth considering. Pyrenean panoramas from the clubhouse and many parts of the course.

Golf d’Aro (Mas Nou)
Architect: R. Espinosa.

18 holes: 6218m: par 72.
Not for the faint hearted!
Running along hill top ridges, ravines bordering many fairways. Lovely views and well worth investigating if you have the nerve (and sufficient ammo).
Now even better with its fully finished Clubhouse

  Golf d'Aro (Mas Nou)

Other courses to consider:


Costa Brava
Architect: H. Strutt & Co.

18 holes: 5573m: par 70.
The first four holes are a little quirky and take some getting to know, after that the course unwinds gently amongst pines and oaks.

Costa Brava GC

 

Torremirona: A modern layout in a wide bowl to the North West of Girona.Torremirona G.C.

Serres de Pals: A new, quite open course which is very accesible to beginners and higher Handicappers, albeit it with a few testing corners...
