With 18 holes, Golf de Pals is the oldest golf course on the Costa Brava, inaugurated in 1966. With par 73, its fairways run through a dense pine forest located on top of a dune and it is loved by the most expert players. The course is also close to the sea which lies some 500 metres away. It was also the home of the first tournament of the PGA European Tour – the 1972 Spanish Open.
Designed by F. W. Hawtree, this course is considered to be one of the
most prestigious golf courses in Spain. The course has a typically English
design. There is direct access from La Costa Golf
Resort Hotel. Its design demands a precise game as its fairways are lined
by pine trees some 100 years old. The clubhouse, with a notable English
atmosphere, and with its own special charm, lends Golf de Pals a final
touch for first-class day of golf. The temperate Mediterranean climate is perfect to play golf all year round. Facilities are completed with 3 padel courts.
