CATALUNYA RESORT, BARCELONA

Voted Best Golf Resort in Europe

2015 by IAGTO, the global trade association of the golf tourism industry, PGA Catalunya Resort, Barcelona, is home to Spain’s No 1 golf course*, the critically acclaimed Stadium Course, which has been selected by the Spanish Golf Federation (RFEG) as its preferred choice venue for hosting The 2022 Ryder Cup.

One of only two golf courses in Spain to feature in Golf World magazine’s World Top 100 Courses ranking and host of The 2014 Open de España, the Stadium Course throws down a serious golfing challenge for visitors, featuring dramatic elevated tee shots and challenging approaches to greens, while its sister course, the resort-style Tour Course, offers players an opportunity to enjoy a friendlier par-72 layout, set amid lakes and pine trees.

Belonging to the European Tour Properties network of world-class golf venues, PGA Catalunya Resort is also home to one of Europe’s finest golf residential communities that was recognised as European Golf Development of the Year (2013-14) at the prestigious International Property Awards.

It is therefore little surprise this spectacular 36-hole resort, just 50 minutes from the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona and a short drive from the cultural streets of Girona, has established itself as the first-choice destination for discerning Swiss golfers, with its range of inspiring real estate propositions, from large golf-front home plots and family villas to elegant townhouses, semi-detached villas with extensive private gardens and modern apartments.

PGA Catalunya Resort is a great base from where visitors can discover the vibrant Catalan capital of Barcelona, the rich historical city of Girona or the region’s many peaceful coastal towns. Also on the doorstep, is the Costa Brava’s 160km stretch of sandy beaches and rugged coastline, while the Pyrenean ski resorts are a mere 90 minutes away.

So why not make PGA Catalunya Resort your (second) home?
