Peralada Golf
A short drive inland from the Costa Brava, Peralada opened in 1993 as a Jordi Soler Peix parkland of par 71 and about 6,000 meters. It is the rare resort course where the round is only part of the day: the holes wrap around a five star hotel, a spa, a casino and a working winery, and the golf has been good enough to host the Catalonia Open.

The verdict
Peralada sits in the gentle farmland of the Alt Emporda, a few minutes from Figueres and within easy reach of the beaches and headlands of the northern Costa Brava. Opened in 1993 to a design by the Catalan architect Jordi Soler Peix, it is a parkland of par 71 and about 6,000 meters, laid through mature trees, lakes and the vineyards of the surrounding estate. The course has the polish you would expect of a five star resort and the variety of a layout with five par 3s, nine par 4s and four par 5s, and with four tee positions per hole it flexes from a stiff test to a holiday round.
What sets Peralada apart is everything around the golf. The course is the centerpiece of a resort that pairs it with a grand hotel, a wine cellar, a spa and the Peralada casino, so a golf day here folds easily into a longer stay. It has earned its standing on merit too, hosting the Catalonia Open along with European and senior tour qualifying, which tells you the conditioning and the test stand up when it matters. For a group touring the Costa Brava it is an obvious anchor, and for couples it is one of the most complete days out in the region.

The holes worth the trip
Peralada is a course of two moods. The front nine threads through mature parkland, where the trees pinch the lines and several lakes come into play, asking for placement off the tee rather than raw length. The greens are subtle and well guarded, and reading the borrows is the difference between a comfortable par and a fiddly bogey. It is not a long course at about 6,000 meters, but it rewards the player who thinks their way around rather than the one who simply hits it hard.
The closing stretch is where Peralada has made its tournament reputation, with water and well placed bunkers raising the stakes as the round builds toward the clubhouse and the vineyards beyond. The four tee positions mean the test can be dialed to the group, so a society can play it as a fair, enjoyable round while a low handicapper takes on the back markers. Through it all the resort frames the golf, with the hotel, the wine estate and the hills of the Alt Emporda in view.
Peralada suits a group that wants a polished, varied round with a memorable base to return to, and couples who like the idea of golf in the morning and the spa, the casino or a wine tasting in the afternoon. It pairs naturally with the links and forest courses at nearby Emporda for a few days of contrasting Costa Brava golf.
