Stadium at Camiral
The Stadium Course at Camiral is a superb championship layout built by the European Tour and host to multiple tour events, including the Spanish Open, with the 2031 Ryder Cup to come. Routed through rolling terrain, fir trees and lakes, it is matched by world-class practice facilities, a fine clubhouse and outstanding hospitality.
El Prat Pink
The Pink Course is the finest of the three layouts at Real Club de Golf El Prat. Just outside Barcelona, it combines generous fairways and expansive, undulating greens with conditioning of the highest standard. Add in a stylish clubhouse and superb terrace for post-round drinks, and it makes for a memorable day.
Tour Camiral
Often overshadowed by its celebrated neighbour, the Tour Course at Camiral should not be missed. Slightly shorter than the Stadium Course, it shares the same rolling terrain, excellent conditioning and thoughtful design. With a more forgiving feel but no shortage of interest, it delivers a thoroughly enjoyable round and a perfect complement to the resort’s headline course.
Perelada
Perelada offers a wonderfully relaxed golfing experience, meandering through a beautiful resort landscape framed by majestic cork trees and vineyard views. More a walk through nature than a championship slog, it is a course to savour. Afterwards, the five-star hotel, Michelin-starred dining and post-round drinks complete a truly memorable day.
