PGA Catalunya Tour
The Tour Course is the Stadium Course's gentler sibling at Camiral, opened in 2005 to designs by Angel Gallardo and Neil Coles. A par 70 of about 6,400 yards, shorter and more forgiving, it is the course most golfers actually enjoy on a resort break, and the perfect warm up for the championship layout next door.

The verdict
Every great resort needs a second course that lets the group breathe, and the Tour Course at PGA Catalunya, now Camiral, does that job beautifully. Angel Gallardo and Neil Coles built it in 2005 on gentler ground than the Stadium Course, a par 70 of about 6,400 yards that is shorter, flatter and far more forgiving off the tee.
That does not make it a pushover. The greens still ask for thought and the pines still shape the holes, but the corridors are wider and the trouble more avoidable, so higher handicappers and tired legs both fare better. It is the ideal first round of a trip, or the relaxed counterpoint to a championship day, and it keeps a four ball moving. Pair it with the Stadium Course for a balanced Costa Brava golf week.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from the resort and course databases. The Tour Course was designed by Angel Gallardo and Neil Coles and opened in 2005, a par 70 of about 6,400 yards, the shorter and more forgiving of the resort's two courses. Green fees are seasonal and indicatively from about 60 euros, rising in high season. Indicative only; always confirm the current rate directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
The Tour Course plays across more open, rolling ground than its famous neighbor, with generous fairways framed by pine rather than squeezed by it. The emphasis shifts from power to placement, and most players find they can attack from the fairway rather than scramble out of the trees.
The short holes are the highlights, a varied set that rewards crisp iron play, and several of the par 4s tempt the longer hitter to take on a corner. The greens carry real movement, so reading the slope is where scores are won and lost.
Because it is gentler and quicker to play, the Tour Course suits mixed ability groups, an early trip round to find your swing, or an afternoon nine after a championship morning on the Stadium Course. It rounds out the Camiral offer and keeps a golf trip enjoyable for everyone in the party.
