About

An odd course sandwiched between two major roads, the PGA de Catalunya was created by European Golf Design in collaboration with Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo and is used regularly as a tournament host or for the qualifying stages of tour school. The site itself is quite steep here, and lined with tall pines the test from the tee is quite exacting. The combination of heavy slopes and lots of trees mean the course suffers with conditions, outside tournament time of course, especially when golf carts are an encouraged mode of transport. The design in general terms is passable, some very ordinary holes but most are inoffensive and decent enough for the pay-for-play crowd in these parts of Spain. For serious golfers there isn't much here to get excited about.
