Camiral Tour Course
The Tour Course is the welcoming half of the finest golf address in Spain. Where the Stadium Course next door punishes, this Coles and Gallardo layout invites you to play, with wider corridors, larger greens and the same immaculate Costa Brava setting of umbrella pines and cork oak. It is the round that sends a group home smiling, on a resort that earns its place at the top of the Iberian rankings.

The verdict
Camiral, the resort near Girona formerly known as PGA Catalunya, holds two courses, and the Stadium Course tends to take all the headlines as the most decorated course in Spain. The Tour Course is the quieter achievement. Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo, the chairman and vice chairman of the European Tour at the time, laid it out in 2005 across the same beautiful terrain of pine, cork oak and lake, but with a softer hand. The fairways are wider, the greens are larger, and the forced carries that define its sibling are mostly absent.
That makes it the smarter choice for the mixed ability group, the higher handicapper, or the second round of a two course day when the legs have gone. It is still a proper par 72 of around 6,000 metres, with water and clever green sites to keep a good player honest, but it gives you room to swing. Pair it with the Stadium Course and you have one of the best two course resort stays in Europe, in a corner of Catalonia that is easy to reach and lovely to spend a week in.

The holes worth the trip
The Tour Course shares its land with the Stadium Course, so the scenery is the same first rate Costa Brava parkland, all tall umbrella pines, cork oak and reedy lakes, immaculately kept. The difference is in the width. Coles and Gallardo gave the fairways generous landing zones and built greens with more open fronts, so you can run the ball on and play your natural game rather than flying every approach over trouble.
The water still bites where it matters, and the closing stretch asks for a couple of committed shots, but the round flows. It is the sort of course a four ball of different handicaps can all enjoy from the right tees, which is exactly what the resort intended when it built a friendlier companion to its championship test.
Set the Tour Course against the Stadium Course over two days and the contrast is the point. One examines you, the other lets you breathe, and together they make Camiral one of the most complete golf resorts on the Iberian peninsula.
