Perhaps the most well known course in the area, this championship course, designed by F.W Hawtree, is laid on flat ground, surrounded by pine woods. Large, fast greens, narrow fairways and well positioned bunkers makes Pals an excellent test of golf for players of all abilities. A great course.
One of the most scenic courses in the Catalonia area, and indeed one of the finest courses in Spain, Platja de Pals is surrounded by hundreds of pine trees laid out over a picturesque smooth terrain. The reputation of this popular course is well deserved as it is so appealing to all levels of golfers.
Platja de Pals is also one of the oldest courses in the region, having opened in 1966, and the well establish forest requires good drives to keep out of trouble and the fairways do become very narrow with the branches just waiting to claim any wayward shots!
The course has a distinct English feel to it with the combination of crisp seaside-style turf and tranquil pines offering a wonderful local element. Platja de Pals offers what might be seen as a generous par of 73, but with the tight fairways guarded by the pines, and fairly small greens there are plenty of holes to catch you unawares.
