Area Description
For a great golf holiday Spain has an unlimited choice of wonderful
locations, however, the Costa Brava is definately one of our favourites.
We’ve
known the Costa Brava as a great place to holiday for many years, but
it’s now emerging as one of the best destinations for a golf
holiday Spain has to offer. We love its unique character - it’s
at the meeting point of the Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean
on Spain’s north east dramatic coastline.
We’ve spent many a happy hour relaxing on its white sandy beaches
and enjoying the seclusion of sheltered coves backed by mountainsides
wooded with fragrant pine trees. The mountains are a major feature of
the area, and the fertile valleys in between them have fast flowing rivers
that have been designed into many of the golf courses. This must be one
of the most beautiful areas in which to enjoy a golf holiday in Spain
There’s a wonderful mixture of old and new here, with typical Mediterranean
villages and towns side by side with modern tourist resorts. There are
many historic places of interest - some of our favourites are Girona
and its old quarter, Vila Vella, and the medieval villages of Pals and
Peratallada.
The area is rich in art and culture too - if you have a taste for this
sort of thing, we recommend you explore the Dali triangle, which includes
the Dali Theatre Museum in Figueras. We were fascinated by the variety
of work on display, with everything from his early years to the surrealist
period and his later creations including eggs on the roof and bread rolls
on the wall! Take our word for it - it’s different, and it’s
well worth a visit!
The number of golf courses in the area has now grown to 10, and thanks
to the climate they’re open all year round. We’ve seen for
ourselves that the fairways and greens are always in great condition.
What’s more, the very reasonable green fee rates and the ready
availability of tee times make the Costa Brava a real rising star in
the world of golf holidays. Accommodation in the area is affordable,
and the standard of hospitality is very high. Get in now before the crowds
arrive!
