Golf de Barcelona
Barcelona » Golf de Barcelona
Club de Golf de Barcelona, formally known as Masia Bach Golf
Course,’ was designed by Jose Maria Olazabal and founded in
1990. This is a very demanding and tight course even for the best
of golfers and is sure to prove a test of character; the shorter
9-hole course however is less demanding and a pleasant playing
experience. The course is beautifully maintained and has hosted
numerous professional tournaments including the 2007 Catalonia
Ladies Masters, part of the Ladies European Tour. Set on the
border of the Penedes wine growing region, it commands some
spectacular views of the Montserrat Mountain. It is advisable to
use a buggy on this course as it is hilly and tiring for some. The
course is complemented with the 4 star Hotel which overlooks
the 1st and 18th holes.

training holes, a driving range, short game practice facilities and
over 6,000yds of great golf utilising the elements of the natural
landscape (trees, streams, embankments) creating a pleasant,
gently rolling route, which is accessible to inexperienced players
and offers a wonderful challenge to experienced players.
Barcelona » Terramar
The Sitges Terramar Golf Club is the second oldest in Catalonia,
being founded in 1922 and designed by FW Hawtree, Manuel
Piñero and Jim Fazio. The microclimate of Sitges permits golf
to be played in perfect conditions at any time of the year with
beautiful views out over the Mediterranean from many holes. The
course is not particularly difficult but greens strategically placed
and water hazards on many holes tend to make life more difficult
on this all-together pleasant course. The Sitges Terramar Golf
Course has recently undergone some alteration work and counts
on some superb putting surfaces. during 2009 Terramar Golf
Club has also extended its clubhouse and facilities underwent
significant improvement.
Barcelona » Vallromanes
Vallromanes Golf Club has quickly become one of the most
established golf clubs in Catalonia. Designed in 1972, by
prestigious architect Mr F.W. Hawtree, the club has an exquisite
“Masia” (traditional country house) style clubhouse. Although
the Vallromanes Golf Club is a private club, arrangements can
be made to play. The design of the course provides a constant
challenge to the player, but with its stunning views of the
mountains and valleys that surround it, it is an ideal place to
relax, and combine a great round of golf with beautiful natural
surroundings.
