The Stadium Course - Spain s No.1 and a World Top 100 www.top100golfcourses.com / Golf World (UK)
PGA CATALUNYA RESORT Less than an hour from Barcelona, 20 minutes from the sandy beaches of the Costa Brava and 5 minutes from Girona-Costa Brava Airport, PGA Catalunya Resort makes for the perfect Spanish golf getaway. The resort s exceptional golfing facilities include the Stadium Course, Spain s No.1 and a World Top 100 layout, and the Tour Course, which provides constant challenges and spectacular holes to delight players of all levels. A member of The European Tour Destinations portfolio, this world-class venue features a modern, stylish clubhouse and outstanding practice and coaching facilities, used by international teams and professionals. PGA Catalunya Resort is now home to Europe s finest, new golf and residential community featuring luxury properties, with exquisite private leisure facilities for residents and various rental opportunities for visitors. The 5* Hotel Camiral, alongside the new LAVIDA Hotel opened in 2018, both within the 500-hectare estate, offer additional accommodation possibilities for guests.
The glorious 13th
THE STADIUM COURSE Designed by Ryder Cup star Neil Coles MBE and former Spanish Open winner Ángel Gallardo, this spectacular course has consistently been ranked among the 10 best golf courses in Europe since its opening in 1999. Conceived as a venue for world-class tournament golf, The Stadium Course has hosted The Spanish Open three times, winning plaudits from some of the world s best players. Dramatic elevated tee shots are a feature of the course, with tree-lined holes cutting a path through pine forest to large, undulating greens protected by lakes and bunkers. Recently upgraded and lengthened to 7,333yds from the championship tees, this par-72 course is one of the most exhilarating experiences in European golf, with different tees and multiple pin positions for all discerning golfers. The signature 13th hole commands wonderful views of the Pyrenees and the Montseny Massif.
Your favourite approach
THE TOUR COURSE While the Stadium Course throws down a serious golfing challenge, the Tour Course offers players an opportunity to enjoy a friendlier par-72 layout, set amid lakes and pine trees. Opened in 2005, this slightly shorter and more forgiving course is another Ángel Gallardo and Neil Coles creation, and a perfect complement to the demanding Stadium Course. While the picturesque front nine meanders through pine forest with strategically placed bunkers, the back nine opens out onto rolling golf holes that ride the contours of the estate and its lakes. Risk-taking players are rewarded here, especially on the par-5 holes, where there is space to open the shoulders from the tees and attack the greens. Popular with members and visiting golfers, this beautifully conditioned course has co-hosted The European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage between 2008-2016, so a high quality experience is assured.
One of Europe s largest putting and chipping green
WORLD-CLASS PRACTICE FACILITIES PGA Catalunya Resort boasts some of the best practice and coaching facilities in the world, including an expansive 2,000 square-metre putting and chipping green, the largest in Spain and the only one of its kind in Europe.

Preferred winter training facility for many tour professionals and national teams
The venue has also become home of the world s first Sergio Garcia Junior Academy, nurturing the best young golfing talent of the future and introducing the sport to children with physical and learning disabilities through its Adapted Golf programmes. As a collaboration between Fundación Sergio Garcia and PGA Catalunya Resort, the Academy gives children from all walks of life the opportunity to play golf, develop their skills and maximise their full athletic potential. The Sergio Garcia Junior Academy uses the globally recognised TPI teaching programme that allows youngsters to develop age-appropriate skills that maximise their full athletic potential, not just the golf swing.
