The history of PGA Catalunya, ranked 2nd in Spain, 3rd in Europe and, most recently, ranked 88th in the world, is as extraordinary as the naturally beautiful landscape from which its two golf courses have been created. The story begins in 1992 when PGA European Tour board member and former tournament professional Ángel Gallardo was asked to look at the possibility of developing a purpose-built golf course in Spain. It was on this 300-hectare estate that Gallardo instantly saw the potential for what he believed could be one of the greatest golf courses in the world. With the help of European Tour golf legend Neil Coles, the Stadium Course took shape. www.top100golfcourses.co.uk / Golf Monthly UK, April 2009 / Golf World UK, The World’s Top 100, 2010 www.pgacatalunya.com +34 972 472 577 Be Different Be Inspired Believe When PGA Catalunya opened in 1999, it immediately hosted the Sarazen World Open, won by Thomas Bjorn, and the Spanish Open in 2000 and again in 2009. Colin Montgomerie, who competed in the Spanish Open, told Gallardo that it was an outstanding golf course – and numerous golf magazines agreed, immediately ranking it among Top 10 Courses in Europe. The Tour Course opened to acclaim in 2005 as an enjoyable, generous golf course, ideal for resort play, and played co-host several times to the European Tour’s Qualifying School Finals alongside the Stadium Course. As a PGA European Tour Course, a name synonymous with the highest quality golf courses, professional services and outstanding facilities, PGA Catalunya does not disappoint. The Group currently comprises a pan-European network of member venues, each offering a distinct challenge to golfers while sharing the same dedication to customer satisfaction. Discerning golfers everywhere can share the experience at any one of these member venues. www.pgacatalunya.com +34 972 472 577 Be Different Be Inspired Believe A real masterpiece designed by Ryder Cup star Neil Coles and Spanish golf legend Ángel Gallardo, this spectacular, impressive course has been ranked among the 10 Best European Golf Courses since its opening date. Originally designed for high-level competitions, the Stadium Course has several different tee boxes and multiple pin positions for the enjoyment of all types of amateur players. Each hole provides a range of different sensations and the ideal combination of lakes, bunkers, tee boxes and huge greens encouraging player concentration throughout the game. It provides a constant challenge for true golf lovers. The superb natural landscape surrounding the course enhances the experience commanding remarkable views at each turn. A must-see is the signature 13th hole that offers a breathtaking vista of the Montseny Massif. www.pgacatalunya.com +34 972 472 577 Be Different Be Inspired Believe Players who feel daunted by the level and precision required by the Stadium Course are given a second opportunity to demonstrate their talents on the Tour Course. Set amongst lakes and pine trees, the Tour Course is a shorter, yet equally enjoyable Ángel Gallardo and Neil Coles creation designed to challenge players of all levels. Most holes on this course have wide fairways and bunkers placed strategically around the greens, where less-than-perfect shots are forgiven. Risk-taking players are also rewarded, especially on the Par-5 holes. This unique course encourages players to use all their skills and complete range of clubs. The challenges are born through its status as the resident course for the PGA European Tour Qualifying School. www.pgacatalunya.com +34 972 472 577 Be Different Be Inspired Believe PGA Catalunya Resort’s stunning clubhouse unites simplicity, functionality and elegance. Opened in 2008, the building was created by leading Catalan architects Francisco and Damián Ribas.
