Empordà Golf Club

Head Greenkeper

September 16, 2024

We have taken advantage of 2021 to completely modernize the Empordà Golf Club and turn it, not only into one of the most emblematic golf settings in Spain, but also into one of the main 36-hole golf destinations in Europe.

We have made a considerable investment to remodel all the facilities, including the two 18-hole golf courses, the 86-room hotel, and the wellness facilities.
At the heart of the Empordà Golf Resort are its magnificent championship courses – the Empordà Links and the Empordà Forest – designed by Robert von Hagge, a globally recognized architect. This was his first creation in Spain, and while both layouts belong to the same architect, that's where the similarities between these two courses end, as each presents different challenges.
Adjacent to the golf courses is the new Empordà hotel, which boasts 86 rooms and suites, all designed with a contemporary style that promotes the rest and relaxation of guests.
Golf is just one of the activities available during your stay at the resort. Guests can also go sailing, cycling, rent a boat, scuba dive, horseback ride, kayak or paddleboard, practice yoga, and attend training classes.
Our privileged location on the Costa Brava is the perfect starting point for guests to discover everything this region has to offer for a sun-seeking getaway: from colorful fishing villages and stunning beaches to unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered and savored.
