PGA Catalunya Tee Times and Booking
The Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya, now branded Camiral, is regularly rated the best course in Spain, and getting on it is straightforward once you know the routine. The one thing every 2026 visitor must plan around is a scheduled course closure for improvement works. Here is how to book, when the course is shut, and how to time a trip near Girona.

The short answer
PGA Catalunya trades under the Camiral name now, but the golf is unchanged: two courses near Caldes de Malavella in the Girona hills, headed by the celebrated Stadium Course. You book a tee time directly through the resort on the Camiral website or with the golf reservations team, and resort guests get priority and preferential rates. Approved tee time platforms also list the Stadium Course with instant confirmation and free cancellation up to 48 hours before play, which makes it easy to lock in a time as soon as your dates are set.
The Stadium Course is a championship layout, so expect to hold and carry proof of a recognized handicap, with the companion Tour Course more relaxed. The single most important planning point for 2026 is the closure window above, because a visit booked in late summer could otherwise arrive to find the main course shut. Everything below was checked in June 2026 and is indicative, so always confirm the current booking rules, closure dates and handicap policy directly with the resort before travelling.

About the Stadium Course
The Stadium Course was designed by Angel Gallardo and Neil Coles and opened in 1999. It is a par 72 of around 7,333 yards routed through pine forest, heather and water, and it has been rated the best course in Spain for years. It has hosted the Spanish Open three times and the DP World Tour's Catalunya Championship in 2022, so it is a genuine tournament test that rewards accurate driving and clear thinking. Knowing what is coming helps you book the right tees and the right time of day. For the playing detail, see our guide on how to play PGA Catalunya.
Booking step by step
Begin with your dates and check them against the 2026 closure window, then decide whether you want a resort stay and play or a green fee only round. Resort guests get priority on the tee sheet and better rates, so if the Stadium Course is the centerpiece of your trip a package at the Camiral hotel is usually the smoothest route and worth pricing first. If you prefer to book a green fee only round, use the resort site or an approved tee time platform, choose your date and time, and add the number of players. Morning times in the warm months are popular, so book early.
Have a handicap certificate ready for each golfer on the Stadium Course, and confirm the current requirement when you book, since standards can differ between the Stadium and the Tour Course. Read the cancellation terms shown at checkout, as the free 48 hour window common on tee time platforms may differ from a resort package deposit. Keep your confirmation and handicap proof together for the trip, and for the full price picture see our guide to PGA Catalunya green fees.
Timing a trip near Girona
Camiral sits inland from the Costa Brava near Girona, an easy drive from both Girona and Barcelona airports, which makes it a natural anchor for a wider Catalonia golf trip. Spring and autumn are the sweet spots for weather and condition, while high summer is hot and, in 2026, partly affected by the closure. Build a few days around the resort, add a coastal course or two and a city night in Girona or Barcelona, and you have one of the best golf escapes in Europe.
