Girona » PGA Catalunya (Stadium) The PGA de Cwatalunya golf course on Catalonia’s Costa Brava has been voted one of the ten best golf courses in Europe. It truly is a stunning course with the Pyrenees as a backdrop, which only adds to the magic. PGA Catalunya Golf Course was designed by Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo and after only opening at the end of 1998, has already hosted the Sarazen World Open in 1999 and the Spanish Open in 2000, the only course to host two European Tour events within 10 months of opening. In November 2008 the finals of the European Tour Qualifying School were held on both the Stadium and Tour Courses and nine years later history was repeated when the PGA Catalunya once again held the Spanish Open (Open de España) in April 2009. This golf resort is located 50 minutes from Barcelona and 15 minutes from Girona. 110
