Costa Brava Golf Breaks
The province of Girona is home to the Costa Brava — a breathtaking stretch of northeastern Spain whose name translates to the “wild” or “rugged” coast. Its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and rocky landscapes create one of the most scenic shorelines in the Mediterranean. Located in Catalonia, the region runs from Blanes (around 60 km north of Barcelona) all the way to the French border at Portbou.
Famous for its crystal-clear waters and diverse beaches, Costa Brava offers everything from lively resorts such as Lloret de Mar to tranquil coves like Cala Pola and Aigua Xelida. With an average temperature of 16°C, more than 2,500 hours of sunshine a year and only moderate winter rainfall, it’s the perfect destination for golfers seeking great weather and reliable course conditions.
Costa Brava has been recognised as one of the world’s top emerging golf destinations, and it’s easy to see why. The region is home to prestigious courses including Camiral (PGA Catalunya), Torremirona and Golf de Pals. Add to this the excellent accessibility from Barcelona and Girona airports — plus plenty of low-cost flights — and it becomes a convenient and popular choice for British and European golfers looking for superb value and memorable golfing experiences.

The Most Popular Golf Courses In Costa Brava
From the foothills of the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coastline, the Costa Brava offers a superb mix of championship courses and scenic resort layouts. With year-round sunshine, attractive beach towns and easy access from Barcelona and Girona airports, it’s one of Spain’s most appealing regions for golfers of all levels.
Fans of testing, tournament-level golf will gravitate towards Camiral (PGA Catalunya), while players looking for relaxed resort rounds can enjoy Torremirona or Peralada. Those who prefer classic seaside golf will love Golf de Pals and Club de Golf Costa Brava. Below are some of the region’s most popular courses.
PGA Catalunya is arguably the premier golf resort across the Costa Brava (and, for some, throughout all of Spain), Catalunya is an immense sprawl of immaculate golf and luxurious holidaymaking.
Inspired by the iconic layout of PGA Sawgrass in Florida (Home of the Players Championship), The Stadium course at Catalunya has been consistently ranked one of Spain’s top courses since it opened in 1998. Designed for championships (it’s hosted numerous tour events) but a suitable challenge for all, this is a course that begs to be included on any golf holiday itinerary to the Costa Brava or Barcelona, just 45 minutes away.
Another course that makes the most of the stunning Spanish scenery, Torremirona is a delight for golfers visiting the area.
It’s a resort-style course, ideal for golfing holidays, offering lush, generous fairways, fine rolling greens and enough water to keep you concentrating. Benefitting from the epic backdrop of the Pyrenees in the distance and just a short drive from Girona airport and the Costa Brava holiday spots. A classy, fun favourite for golfers across Catalonia.
A classic course of the region and a long-time favourite for golfers visiting Costa Brava. Golf De Pals is perhaps best known for its fairways, narrow and lined by visibly arresting umbrella pines. With strategically placed bunkers requiring careful shot selection and a layout that offers plenty of risk-reward options, this is a fun, deceptively challenging course.
It’s also delightfully located along the sumptuous white sands of the Mediterranean coast and easily accessible from all parts of the Costa Brava.
Located in Girona, right in the heart of the Costa Brava, Club De Golf is another fabulous resort from which to base a golfing holiday in the region.
Alongside the beautifully maintained fairways and slick greens, the course is also a picturesque example of Costa Brava’s stunning landscapes. From the lush and vibrant foliage, spectacular views and a serene atmosphere across the course and clubhouse.
A welcoming club, an engaging course and an array of dining and off-course entertainment in the vicinity. What more could you ask for from a Spanish golf break?
A simply stunning location to play your golf. Golf Montanyá sits within the Montseny natural park, offering amazing natural vegetation and jaw-dropping views out to the Pyrenees.
Designed by legendary architect Dave Thomas, it takes inspiration from other Thomas courses, such as the Brabazon at the Belfry and the iconic Spanish course, La Manga.
A parkland layout, the course is set up ideally for golf tourists – not too long but tight enough to warrant a genuine test of your skills and judgement. And always immaculately presented. Montanyá may not come with the same reputation as some of other courses in the region or the country, but it rarely fails to deliver an enjoyable day’s golf for visitors to the Costa Brava.
Opened in 1954 and redesigned as a 45-hole complex in the 1990s by Greg Norman, El Prat is a former host of the Spanish Open.
As a golf resort, it offers a mix of course options among the 45-holes on offer, ranging from moderate, social golf to the exacting challenge of the Open track which can play long (more than 6,670m) from the back tees.
Another classic mix of Costa Brava’s natural landscape and championship style, stadium layouts, the course is perfectly located for those using Barcelona as a base, just a short drive out of the city.
Sunshine, scenery and superb golf define a Costa Brava golf holiday. No matter where you stay, you’re always close to a collection of outstanding courses — from inland woodland tracks to coastal fairways with sea views.
Stay near Barcelona for lively nightlife or choose a quieter Costa Brava resort for a more laid-back setting. Across the region, golfers can expect excellent food, stunning landscapes and some of the best-conditioned courses in Spain.
