As well as playing two world-class golf courses and utilizing the state-of-the-art practice facilities on resort, our guests will be invited to enjoy a range of culinary and cultural experiences for which the area of Catalonia is famous. We will journey beyond the golf courses to enjoy the spectacular foods, wines, and hospitality that are offered in this unique corner of Europe.
This is truly a city in which you’ll want to get lost. Amble through the cobblestone roads that lead you to stunning medieval architecture, ancient walls, and Roman remains, all on the banks of the Onyar River. This historic getaway is a short drive from the glittering beaches of Costa Brava, and a 40-minute train ride from the bustling metropolis of Barcelona.
No luxury is spared at the PGA Catalunya Resort. You will stay at the 5-star Hotel Camiral, a haven of tranquility featuring a sleek, contemporary exterior contrasting with a richly textured and sumptuous interior, offering luxury, comfort, and tasteful elegance, all nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Ranked number 1 in Spain and number 4 in Europe, this is a tough and challenging golfing masterpiece which is admired by golfers from all over the world. You will have the privilege to play a practice round and the final tournament round on this magnificent course which has hosted the Spanish Open four times and was originally designed with a view to hosting the Ryder Cup.
This course is equally beautiful, yet a little kinder than its older brother. The Tour Course features pine trees, lakes, and slightly wider fairways with strategically placed bunkers, making it a worthy challenge and a rising star of this world-leading resort.
Both courses are designed to be played with golf carts.
