Empordá Golf links & Forest
Empordá Golf is located in the most beautiful part of the Costa Brava, just an hour and a half from Barcelona, thirty minutes from Girona and the airport, and fifteen minutes from the best beaches of the Costa Brava, such as Aiguablava, Calella, Llafranch, Palamós, L'Escala and L'Estartit. It is also close to the beautiful medieval villages of Pals and Peratallada.
Empordà Golf consists of 36 holes, spread over two beautiful 18-hole courses: 'Empordà Links' and 'Empordà Forest'. The courses were designed by the famous American architect Robert Von Hagge, who perfectly combined his talent with his wide experience in designing golf courses and the beautiful enclave l'Empordanet, in the heart of the Costa Brava. The design features large lakes, dunes and extensive bunkers in a Mediterranean landscape, dense and well-manicured pine forests and wide fairways.
Empordà Links ("water course") is nestled between lakes and dunes and is reminiscent of Scotland's world famous greens. The Links course is a par 71 course.
The architect was helped in his design by the exceptional beauty of the natural environment in the Baix Empordà, in the heart of the Costa Brava. The construction of the final holes has resulted in one of the most ambitious and creative projects in the region. Empordà Golf is considered one of the best resorts in Catalonia.
At the end of the 1990s, the course was voted one of the 10 best courses in Spain and the 13th best design in Europe by the 1996 Peugeot Golf Guide. The course has been a regular host to the PGA Pre-Qualifying School II European Tour, has hosted the PGA European Tour Qualifying School finals in 2002 and 2003, and has hosted the Peugeot Tour Empordà Golf in 2006 and 2007.
As the architect explains; “Golf is an activity that requires commitment from the player on both an intellectual and emotional level. The complex collaboration between these elements greatly influences the level of the player. So a golf course architect should not only have knowledge of the history of the game and the surrounding landscape, but also knowledge of the players themselves". At Empordà Golf, Robert von Hagge has managed to create two technically perfect courses that allow a wide range of swings and techniques to be used. The combination of the four 9-holes in 2 separate 18-holes makes Empordà Golf one of the best greens in Europe.
