This year we are celebrating the PGA Catalunya 20th anniversary. We have planned a year of fantastic events including the European Tour Destinations Senior Classic, a 5-day event we hosted in July, which gave golf fans the chance to play with some of the most recognisable legends of the game.
In addition to the European Tour Destinations Senior Classic, the year-round itinerary of events and celebrations includes several PGA tournament weekends and a host of other events for residents and visitors. Considering the technical challenges of the courses available, the golfing will be superb.
Our celebrations include much more than golf, there are a selection of the great activities and events you will be able to enjoy with your friends and family:
Located in the beautiful countryside of the Girona area, in the province of Catalonia (Spain), the resort is a short drive from the world-renowned beaches of the Costa Brava.
When you see the PGA Catalunya Resort today, it is hard to imagine that the plot of land it stands on was originally set aside for the construction of an F1 Grand Prix track. Less surprising, for this picturesque spot, is that it was considered as a potential site for a purpose-built venue for the Ryder Cup in 1997.
Ultimately, it was a combination of golfing legend - Neil Coles MBE who designed the original course, that has become the iconic Stadium Course - and the vision of Irish entrepreneur, Denis O’Brian (2008), that created the award winning best golf course in Spain, an expansive 300 hectares of gorgeous forests, golf courses and 5-star facilities.
As golf complexes and courses go, the PGA Catalunya Resort is a new kid on the block, 20 years pales in comparison to others worldwide, yet as the Best PGA golf course in Spain and #4 in Continental Europe, our resort is making itself known in the world of golf, leisure and lifestyle venues.
Over the last 20 years, PGA Catalunya Resort has grown from an excellent golf course to an immaculate example of nature, professional golf and the dynamic intertwining of architecture and picturesque scenery. The complex has been continuously improved and in 2012 we launched our Master Plan that provided all the details for our latest residential developments.
We now offer a lot more than just great golfing. The Resort hotels have numerous facilities and fun-exciting activities to keep the whole family entertained. It is no mystery that the PGA Catalunya Resort is so popular amongst holidaymakers and residents alike.
We have also been developing several residential complexes with award-winning architects that combine the best in modern living with the surrounding forests and fairways. These residential developments are rapidly being spoken for. One of the best examples is our new El Bosc Luxury Apartments development.
PGA Catalunya Resort also has two hotels that are offering anniversary packages to guests. Hotel Camiral, a 5-Star facility, is the perfect place for luxurious vacations or that special romantic getaway. The amazing facilities and variety of activities on offer include sporting clinics, bike rides in the forests and daily shuttles to the amazing beaches of the Costa Brava which are just 20 minutes away.
We are proud that all this hard work has culminated in making the resort one of the most sought-after properties in Spain, matching the best in Europe and consistently winning us awards and accolades reaching back to 1999. As a ‘Best Golf Course Europe’ we have a lot to celebrate, we hope you will join us in marking our 20th anniversary!
