This course is the realisation of a dream. Back in 1987 the PGA
European Tour wanted to build its own Players Championship course
on a par with US PGA Tour’s Sawgrass course. After 10 years
of planning and re-development PGA
Catalunya was born on July 2000. The course can only
be described as magnificent. Built in the Girona mountains,
it has beautiful green fir, scrub and purple heather lining most
fairways. The fairways and greens are American stadium in design
with water hazards and boarded island greens. Already a new entry
into Europe’s top 10 courses, PGA
Catalunya is certain to rise into the top five or even
higher in the near future. This course is the ultimate challenge,
and is a must for those who like to play the great courses. We
are grateful to the PGA Catalunya to allow our holidaymaker's
the opportunity to do so. With its excellent location just off
junction 8 on the A7 Autopista it’s easy to get to from
both the international Barcelona airport.
UKSG Difficultly Rating
PGA
Catalunya is championship layout, so it will be enjoyed
by low handicap and long hitting golfers. It’s not recommended
for high handicappers who do not enjoy challenging courses. However
it is a fair course with forward tees and is playable for high
handicappers who want to play the world’s best golf courses.
The course is long and hilly in places with long walks between
tees so a buggy is recommended.
