Catalunya calls for travelling golfers

The award-winning Spanish resort covers all aspects of a golf trip and has new properties to rent

The PGA Catalunya Resort, near Barcelona, has recently expanded its property rental portfolio for golfers wishing to stay on-site at the European Tour destination after seeing visitor demand increase by 30% over the last two years.

Significantly, visitors from the Nordic countries made up the largest group of holidaymakers who preferred to rent at the Costa Brava resort in 2015, accounting for 40% of the total occupancy. A quarter were from the UK, followed closely by France with 20%.

Since the low-density development first took shape in 2011, the resort which hosted the 2014 Open de España has enhanced its portfolio of rental properties by over 70% to include a larger mix of luxurious family houses, golf-fronted semi-detached villas, as well as exclusive apartments adjacent to the clubhouse, which overlooks the 18th green of the critically acclaimed Stadium Course. It is a golf course that has, for some time, been considered one of the very best in Europe.

Visiting golfers benefit from 24-hour security and full management and concierge services that ensure all aspects of a golfer’s stay are taken care of. These include airport transfers, food hamper deliveries, beach club access, babysitting, restaurant and theatre reservations, as well as ski arrangements during winter months in the nearby Pyrenees.

Visitor experience

Less than an hour’s drive from the vibrant city of Barcelona and only 20 minutes from the Michelin-starred restaurants of Girona, the 36-hole resort has consistently ranked amongst the ten best European golf venues since it opened in 1999.

It regularly attracts golfers from across the whole of Europe, international elite amateur teams and professionals, as well as major international events. The resort has played host to three Spanish Opens, the 1999 Sarazen World Open and European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage events since 2008.
