Stadium Course
This spectacular and imposing course has been consistently ranked among the best ten golf courses in Europe since it was opened in 1999 and was recently voted #77 in the world, #3 in continental Europe and #1 in Spain. As the venue for numerous PGA European Circuit tournaments, it is also routinely singled out for praise from the professional playing fraternity. Be warned, however the beauty of the course can distract from the many dangers waiting to do serious damage to your scorecard. It makes no concessions with its trees pressing onto fairways, strategically placed bunkers and the lakes that come into play on no fewer than seven of the toughest holes. This is a quality that keeps players returning time and again to test themselves. It is rare to find so many memorable holes on one course and despite the many ups and downs, tees are elevated and very few fairways are uphill. The stunning dogleg of hole 6 is one of them and it demands nothing less than a driver and total commitment.
Tour Course
For a slightly less stern challenge, turn to the equally beautiful but kinder Tour Course. Dominated by pine trees and lakes, the course is shorter and a little less difficult to play than the Stadium Course, yet the Ángel Gallardo and Neil Coles design ensures that it remains a challenge for every level of player. Most of the holes feature wide fairways and strategically placed bunkers, which can be forgiving of a less than perfect shot. Another feature sure to focus the mind is that it seems you are never far from a water hazard. There is no question that the Tour Course is a worthy challenge. The prestige of this remarkable Golf course was born through its status as co-host of the European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage since 2008.
Accommodation
Set in the heart of the PGA Catalunya Resort, LAVIDA Hotel is an adults-only establishment that is perfect for a golf break with friends. This modern addition to the PGA Catalunya Resort is as sleek on the inside as it is striking from the outside, everything feels clean and new, affording the perfect environment to unwind after a round of golf. Staying at LAVIDA Hotel means you get all the class of a high-end hotel at a seriously wallet-friendly price. The bar at LAVIDA is normally buzzing, with golfers flocking in for a post-round tipple. Residents also have access to the bar and restaurant at the neighbouring Hotel Camiral, as well as the PGA Catalunya Club House that offers a larger menu than the in-house restaurant. That said, Bella’s Bistro is a delight of its own, offering a Mediterranean menu, the highlight being the mouth-watering Italian pizzas.
