"From the moment you hit your first ball,
you establish a lifelong love of golf."
That's what we're told; but we still want
to experience it for ourselves. And time
after time, swing after swing, we send
that ball flying. In Catalonia, the same
will happen to you: you'll want to come
back time and again. And you'll never
grow tired of it, because there'll always
be something new to surprise you.

Seven reasons to golf in

For the climate: Catalonia has a mild climate with average temperatures ranging between
15º C and 20º C, which makes it possible to golf all year round.
For the courses: Designed by world renowned architects, Catalonian golf courses
are modern, diverse and well equipped. Likewise, they are maintained with excellence.
For the setting: The vast range of Catalan landscapes will allow you to enjoy a widely
varied background: here the sea, there mountains, woods and plains, always
surrounded by an incomparable environment.
For the transportation links: Catalonia is conveniently connected to all major European
capitals by plane. As for Catalonian golf courses, there are several right outside the
capital city of Barcelona. Many more are located within an hour's drive.
For the dining: Catalan cuisine is world-renown for its prestigious chefs and for being
the very embodiment of Mediterranean cooking.
For the tourism: Catalonia is home to an endless array of art, festivals and leisure
opportunities, accumulated over its thousand years of history.

10 Catalonia is golf
The golfing scene in Catalonia is extensive and
diverse: from the more competitive, high-demand
courses, to the more flat and smooth, suitable for
players at all levels.
PGA Catalunya Resort. Caldes de Malavella. Costa Brava.
Quality and diversity
Catalonia has a long sporting tradition. So it's no surprise that
one of the first golf courses in Spain was opened in Catalonia,
at Sant Cugat del Vallès, in 1914. The course was the initiative
of a group of British railway workers involved in laying the tracks
for today's regional railway, Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de
Catalunya, which, three years later, would link the town to
Barcelona. The Sant Cugat golf course, which, to this day, its
members keep up like a garden, remains quite active. Before
the 1980s, no more than half a dozen other courses were opened,
drawing together enthusiasts of a sport then still considered
elitist.
pressed for time. Of the full-length courses, 22 are open to
tourists, with the remainder operating as private clubs.
It was the arrival on the scene of Severiano Ballesteros and his
international triumphs that sparked the first real wave of golf
enthusiasm. New players, new tournaments and new courses
began to sprout up all over the country. In just a few years, golf
became a major draw, both for locals and visitors coming from
abroad to engage in their favourite sport.
The golfing scene in Catalonia is very extensive and diverse: from
highly demanding, more competitive courses, where the most
skilled players strive to equal the performances of their idols, to
flatter, gentler courses, appropriate for golfers of all levels seeking
to enjoy a relaxing day with family or friends. Catalonia's
geographical variety has provided golf course designers with
ideal locations for these sporting facilities. The renowned golf
course architects Javier Arana and Ramón Espinosa, working
with pioneering golfers like Severiano Ballesteros, José María
Olazábal, Manuel Piñero and Ángel Gallardo, have left their
signature marks on local courses. There are also some outstanding
courses designed by international experts such as Robert Von
Hagge, Robert Trent Jones, F. W. Hawtree, Dave Thomas and
Greg Norman. All in all, these courses make Catalonian golfing
comprehensive and high quality. All of them combine situationspecific difficulty, natural beauty, and respect for the environment.
Golf fever reached new heights in Catalonia during the 1992
Olympics in Barcelona. Today, the passion continues to thrive in
the many international golf tournaments staged here. Catalonian
courses have hosted several editions of the Spanish Open -one
of the oldest in Europe- as well as the Catalonia Open, the Sanyo
Open, the Sarazen Open and the Johnnie Walker Trophy.
Moreover, Catalonia will host this year's European Tour Qualifying
School tournament. All these competitions have brought major
international figures to the country, including Lee Treviño, Gary
Player, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo, Tom Watson, Raymond Floyd
and Bernhard Langer. Catalonia has also hosted the Catalonia
Ladies Masters, part of the professional Ladies European Tour.
The Catalonia Ladies Masters was first staged in 2003 and has
attracted such major figures as the charismatic English golfer
Laura Davies, the Swede Sophie Gustafson and Lorena Ochoa
from Mexico -currently ranked fourth in the world- in addition to
the Catalonian Paula Martí.
Catalonia's unusually diverse geography makes its golf courses
even more attractive. Despite its small size, Catalonia is home
to a rich and varied landscape, where one can travel from the
golden shores of a quiet cove to a snowy mountain top in the
Pyrenees by way of lush, green forests or open planes in less
than an hour. Golfers who come to Catalonia will thus be able
to play surrounded by beautiful countryside, and to choose as
well from a rich history of art, cuisine, entertainment, modernity
and more. Because Catalonia is brimming with attractions:
Romanesque churches and mediaeval castles, verdant nature
parks and snowy slopes, secluded coves, over 300 museums
of all types -including some dedicated to the works of Dalí, Miró,
Picasso and Gaudí-, thousands of restaurants in which to enjoy
a wide range of cuisines -including the establishments of
internationally acclaimed chefs like Ferran Adrià, Carme Ruscalleda
or Santi Santamaría-, the universal and cosmopolitan city of
Barcelona, etc. What more could you ask for?
Catalonia currently boasts 37 large golf courses and 45 Pitch &
Putt and par 3 facilities, these last conceived as venues for
beginners and as alternatives to longer courses for players

A thousand fairways for the best
PGA Catalunya Resort. Caldes de Malavella. Costa Brava.
Costa Brava
Costa Brava, in northern Catalonia, was named one of the 10 best emerging golf destinations by the International
Association of Golf Tour Operators in 2000. Located near the region's coves and beaches, Costa Brava golf courses, including
the prestigious PGA Catalunya Resort, are comprehensive and close to each other. Flat or hilly, with a wide range of vegetation and
strategically placed lakes, close the sea or nestled under the Pyrenees, these venues do justice to the distinction awarded to the region.
Club de Golf Bonmont. Mont-roig del Camp. Costa Daurada.
Costa Daurada
The micro-climate along the coast of Tarragona, south of Barcelona, enables play throughout much of the year in short sleeves. Here
visitors will find courses created by Robert Trent Jones Jr. on wild seaside terrain, or by Greg Norman, commissioned to design two
of the three new PortAventura courses at a site reminiscent of Scottish links. And, just 5 minutes away, lies the PortAventura theme
park, with its rides and hotel resorts, perfect for enjoying with the family.
Real Club de Golf El Prat. Terrassa. Catalunya Central.
Barcelona and its surroundings:
Costa del Garraf, Costa de Barcelona Maresme, Catalunya Central
The golf courses in this region, near the city of Barcelona, offer a wide choice of locations and features. Spread out between the
coast and the inland regions, they can be found winding among vineyards, by the sea, at the foot of the Montseny Nature Park or
next to Montserrat Mountain. Some of the courses have been chosen by leading amateurs and even some professionals to train,
thanks to the technical and strategic level of the facilities.
Aravell Golf. Montferrer-Castellbó. Pirineus.
Pirineus
Enjoying a round of golf surrounded by the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees is a true luxury. As members of Golf Valls del Pirineu,
a new grouping that unifies golfing in an exceptional location still refreshingly free of mass tourism, these venues offer singular settings
requiring maximum precision and skill. Breathtakingly beautiful, high-quality courses that claim the hearts of golfers and lure them back
again. The region's proximity to several outstanding ski resorts and the quality of its hotels further enhance the course's allure.
Costa Brava
Calella de Palafrugell. Palafrugell. Costa Brava.
Flat and hilly, lively and calm, blue and green... Costa Brava is
doubly attractive for visitors. Its enviable location at the point
where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean gives rise to its
diversity and an array of tourist attractions. Also of note are its
proximity to both Barcelona and to the border of France, as well
as its excellent connections by plane to the main Spanish and
European cities via Girona airport, one of the fastest-growing in
Europe. The large number of coves and beaches for enjoying the
sun and sea is one of the defining features of the Costa Brava,
which is home to both quiet seaside villages and bustling tourist
centres. The coastal resort towns (Cadaqués, Roses, Begur,
Palafrugell, Palamós, Platja d'Aro, Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Tossa
de Mar or Lloret de Mar) offer everything needed to ensure that
visitors have a satisfying stay in an unbeatable climate. As for nature,
don't miss Cap de Creus Park, the Medes Islands and Aiguamolls
de l'Empordà, all sites of great ecological and scenic value.
22 Catalonia is golf
With regard to culture, the region is home to an array of monuments
and archaeological sites that is hard to top. The mediaeval inland
towns of Peratallada, Pals and Monells, the ruins of Empúries
(the first Greek colony on the Iberian Peninsula) and the many
historical sites of the city of Girona, with its cathedral, Old Town
and Jewish Quarter, are just a few outstanding examples. The
mythical Daliniano Triangle is worth special mention; the vertices
of which are Figueres and the Salvador Dalí museum; Cadaques,
with the artist's home in Portlligat, and the castle Púbol, where
Gala the artist's muse lived. The excellent regional cuisine,
one of the richest and most traditional in Catalonia, the health
and wellness facilities and the gorgeous inland landscapes round
out a perfect leisure offer to savour between games.

Costa Daurada
Roman amphitheatre. Tarragona. Costa Daurada.
A long line of white sand beaches are the hallmark of the Costa
Daurada, a place of placid beauty discovered by the ancient
Romans more than 2,000 years ago. A wealth of remnants from
those early origins can still be seen, primarily in the city of Tarragona
and its surroundings, and the monument complex as a whole
has been declared an official UNESCO World Heritage Site. The
main tourist attractions are close by: Salou, Cambrils, L'Hospitalet
de l'Infant, L'Ametlla de Mar, Calafell or Torredembarra, all
internationally renowned for their wide range of leisure activities,
excellent seafood, water sports and modern, comprehensive golf
courses. Costa Daurada is home to the PortAventura theme
park complex, a sprawling amusement park offering rides and
shows for the whole family. The list of the region's inland and
coastal attractions is extensive. With regard to culture and
architecture, the monasteries of the Cistercian Route (Poblet,
Santes Creus in the same province and Vallbona de les Monges
36 Catalonia is golf
in neighbouring Lleida), the Modernist Route in Reus, the Tarragona
and Tortosa cathedrals, the mediaeval village of Montblanc and
the city of Valls, birthplace of the region's emblematic "human
castles" or "towers" all stand out. As for nature, the Ebro River
Delta and Ports and Montsant nature parks are the primary
attractions, as well as the Prades Mountains nature reserve, all
of which are ideally suited for cycling and trekking. El Priorat is
also worth a visit, a wild, authentic county responsible for producing
some of the world's best wines.
The Costa Daurada offers excellent transportation links, including
an extensive road network, the Camp de Tarragona high-speed
train station and the Reus airport, which is both the final destination
and departure point for numerous international flights.

Barcelona view from the Parc Güell. Barcelona.
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of Europe's most
dynamic, modern and cosmopolitan cities. It is also home to a
considerable historical and cultural legacy that dates back some
two thousand years to the ancient Roman city of Barcino and
spans a wide range of architectural styles (Romanesque, Gothic,
Baroque, Modernist), including some of the most avant-garde
and daring structures to be seen today. The ingenious work of
Gaudí (the Sagrada Familia, the Pedrera, Casa Batlló or Park
Guëll), the Gothic Quarter, the Ramblas and several singular
museums (the Picasso Museum, the Miró Foundation or the
Catalonia National Art Museum) are just some of the must-see
attractions in a city that lives with one eye to the sea and has
long been known for its dynamic business, holiday and leisure
life. To all this we have to add world-class accommodations and
restoration that is sure to please locals and new arrivals alike.
42 Catalonia is golf
We should not forget the well-kept city beaches, among the few
in the world that can be reached by subway. Barcelona is truly
one of a kind. Barcelona's charm radiates outward to encompass
the coastal and inland towns and cities around it, one of which,
Sant Cugat del Vallès, is home to Catalonia's first golf course,
which was built in the 1920s. Other major cities include Terrassa,
Sabadell, Vic, Manresa, Vilafranca del Penedès, Mataró and
Sitges, all with a grand tradition of history and landmarks. No
journey inland through the province of Barcelona would be
complete without a visit to Montserrat Mountain, a Catalonian
symbol, the forests of Montseny Nature Park or the rich
monumental, historical and ethnic heritage of the former industrial
colonies that once thrived on the banks of the Ter and Llobregat
rivers.
