Barcelona Golf Breaks SL
Platja de Pals
Platja de Pals course boast an extensive pine forest with trees over a hundred years old, lying over sand dunes some 500 metres away from the sea. Manicured greens and fairways are well kept thorough all the year, and the addition of a lake along the 8th hole fairway and the construction of a new big green beside the lake have improved an already magnificent course.
It is the only course in the Costa Brava, and around Barcelona, with a par of 73, with five par 5 holes, but lenght has never been an issue. Strategy is an essential asset for the golf player, but is even more important in Platja de Pals, as the rough is not very wide and the trees are always pressing into the fairways. You will rarely lose your ball, but getting out of the pine trees can be costly.
Golf Platja de Pals hosted the 1972 Spanish Open and has been the home of the European Tour Qualifying School Finals and the 2005 Catalonia Ladies Masters.
