Bonmont Terres Noves
Set high in the hills above the Costa Daurada at Mont-roig del Camp, Bonmont Terres Noves is a Robert Trent Jones Jr par 72 opened in 1990. The elevated terrain below the Sierra de Colldejou gives sweeping views to the Mediterranean and a real sense of drama, a contrast to the flatter coastal courses below.

The verdict
Bonmont Terres Noves was, for many years, one of the most admired courses in Catalonia. Robert Trent Jones Jr laid it out across elevated ground above Mont-roig del Camp, in the hills that rise behind the Costa Daurada between Cambrils and the mountains, and opened it in 1990. The site is the star: the holes climb and fall through a rugged landscape below the Sierra de Colldejou, with the Mediterranean glittering in the distance and the kind of long views that lift a round.
The Trent Jones design uses the natural contours to demand a thoughtful, varied game, with open fairways that invite a positive tee shot and greens that are well defended and need to be approached from the right angle. It is more strategic and more dramatic than the resort golf on the coast below. Note that the club has faced operational challenges in recent seasons, so it is worth confirming the course is open and tee times are available before you build a trip around it; on a good day, the combination of pedigree design and mountain setting is hard to beat on this stretch of coast.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from leading course databases. Bonmont Terres Noves opened in 1990 to a Robert Trent Jones Jr design above Mont-roig del Camp, a par 72 of about 6,379 yards on elevated terrain with Mediterranean views.

Where rates are quoted they move with season and demand, so always confirm current pricing and availability directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Bonmont is shaped by its elevation. Trent Jones Jr routed the holes across rising and falling ground below the Sierra de Colldejou, using the natural contours so that tee shots are played from raised tees with the coast spread out below and approaches must judge both the slope and the wind. The change in height from hole to hole keeps the round varied and the views constant, and it gives the course a scale that the flatter coastal layouts cannot match.
Strategically it is a Trent Jones design through and through. The fairways are generous enough to encourage an aggressive line, but the greens are firmly defended and angled so that the approach is far easier from one side than the other, rewarding the player who thinks a shot ahead. The terrain means uneven lies and downhill and uphill shots are part of the test, and club selection is rarely straightforward.
At its best, Bonmont is the standout inland course on the Costa Daurada, a dramatic, strategic mountain layout with a marquee designer and unforgettable views. Given the recent uncertainty over its operation, it is wise to confirm access in advance, but for a group that can secure a tee time it offers a round with genuine pedigree to balance the resort golf nearer the sea.
