The best course in Spain, the 2031 Ryder Cup venue and a string of fine Costa Brava layouts, all within an hour of Barcelona. Add the city, the coast and the food, and Catalonia is one of Europe's most complete golf trips.
Catalonia is for the golfer who wants a serious course and a great destination in the same week. Camiral, the resort once known as PGA Catalunya, has the finest course in Spain and a five star base, and it will host the 2031 Ryder Cup, so a round on the Stadium Course is a genuine pilgrimage. Around it the Costa Brava offers softer, friendlier golf by the sea, and Barcelona is close enough to fold a city day or two into the trip. It suits a buddies group that wants one big ticket course, a couple who like to mix golf with culture and food, and anyone planning ahead of the Ryder Cup spotlight.
It pairs naturally with a wider Spanish trip and sits a world away from the busier southern coasts. For the full picture, see our guide to golf in Catalonia and our Costa Brava golf hub.
Green fees below are indicative for the 2026 high season and always confirm directly before booking. Catalonia spans the premium Camiral courses inland and gentler value golf up the Costa Brava coast. See our best courses in Catalonia for the full ranking.
Rated the best course in Spain and the host of the 2031 Ryder Cup, a par 72 of rolling fairways, fir trees and water that rewards strategy over power. The headline round of the trip.
More on the Stadium Course →Two contrasting Robert von Hagge nines, the Forest tight through umbrella pines and the Links open and rolling, near the coast at Gualta. A varied, enjoyable second course for any Catalonia week.
More on Emporda →The resort's second 18, shorter and more forgiving than its famous neighbor, ideal for the second round of a stay and for mixed ability groups. Same five star base and conditioning.
More on the Tour Course →Add Pals, the oldest course on the Costa Brava, or run a two course stay at Camiral itself. We tailor the shortlist to your group, pace and budget.
Tighter on time? A three night version keeps the two Camiral courses and one Costa Brava round. We can add Barcelona city nights or extend down the coast.
The figures below are indicative third party ranges for the 2026 season, per person, excluding flights. Catalonia offers a clear split between premium Camiral golf and good value Costa Brava rounds, so the price swings with the courses you pick. Always confirm directly before booking.

|---|---|---|
| Costa Brava golf break | 3 | From ~$1,200 |
| Camiral and Costa Brava week | 4 | ~$1,700 to 2,900 |

Ranges depend on hotel tier, courses and group size. The Camiral Stadium green fee is the main swing factor. We cost your exact itinerary to the head before you commit.
Play in spring, from March to June, or fall, from September to November, for the most comfortable temperatures and the best course conditions in Catalonia. Summer is hot and the coast is busy with beach visitors, so it suits a group that wants pool and sea alongside golf, while winter is mild, quiet and the cheapest time to play, though the inland courses at Camiral can catch a cool or wet day. With the Ryder Cup spotlight coming to Camiral in 2031, demand for the Stadium Course is rising, so book the marquee tee times well ahead.

The headline is Camiral, formerly PGA Catalunya, whose Stadium Course is rated the best in Spain and will host the 2031 Ryder Cup, supported by its Tour Course. Around it sit the two Emporda courses, Forest and Links, and the classic Costa Brava layouts such as Pals, all within easy reach of Barcelona and Girona.
As an indicative third party guide for the 2026 season, green fees range from about 70 euros at the Costa Brava courses to well over 200 euros at the Camiral Stadium Course in high season, and a four night golf break starts around 1,400 dollars per person depending on courses and hotel. Always confirm directly before booking.
Spring, from March to June, and fall, from September to November, give the most comfortable golf weather and the best course conditions. Summer is hot and busy with beach visitors, while winter is mild and quiet with the lowest green fees, though the odd cool or wet day is possible inland at Camiral.
Barcelona El Prat and Girona airports both serve the region with flights across Europe. Camiral sits about an hour north of Barcelona near Girona, and the Costa Brava courses spread up the coast from there, so most groups hire a car or use transfers.
