In 2000 Catalunya was named as 'emerging golf destination of the year' by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators
The prize awarded in Florida, recognised the merits of Golf in this area above South Africa, Dubai, Malaysia and Thailand. The operators based their decision on a number of factors including: customer satisfaction, quality of golf courses and accessibility to tee times.
Many high quality tournaments are now played here on a wide variety of courses, in a temperate climate. The European PGA have selected the area for the pre-qualifying evens of the Volvo PGA Tour.
Golf World Magazine selected 3 Catalan Golf courses to be in their top 100 out of 2,600 courses in Europe. Two of them are featured below. One, Club Golf de Pals, is 400 yds from the apartment and Emporda is just 3 miles away. The other is PGA de Catalunya, about 20 miles away.
The magazine says 'Catalunya is set to be one of Europe's great tournament venues'
In total there are no less than 9 courses in the region, offering a challenge for the experienced player whilst providing extremely pleasurable golf for the high handicap player. The settings of the Catalonian courses are stunning, with views of the Mediterranean to the East and the pyrenees to the North. - Take your pick!
