Golf courses in Barcelona

Barcelona as a golf destination has one great advantage: the city is so compelling that golfers are happy to be there regardless of the golf — and then they discover that the courses within reach are genuinely outstanding. Camiral Golf & Wellness (formerly PGA Catalunya Resort), sixty-five kilometres north of the city near Girona, is the flagship: two courses of international standard, with the Stadium Course consistently ranked among the top three in Spain on Leading Courses. Real Club de Golf El Prat, redesigned by Greg Norman, is the closest top-quality course to the city itself — about twenty minutes from the centre in the Llobregat delta. Club de Golf Sant Cugat, founded in 1914 in the Collserola hills above Barcelona, is one of the oldest clubs in Spain and has a classic parkland character in an almost surprisingly natural setting. The city itself needs little introduction: Gaudí's architecture, the Gothic Quarter, La Boqueria, an extraordinary restaurant scene and a beach within the city boundary make Barcelona among the most complete short-break destinations in Europe. Barcelona El Prat Airport has direct flights from the Netherlands and across northern Europe. Tee times at most Barcelona-area courses are easy to book online via Leading Courses.
