Empordá Links
Empordá (Links Course)
The Emporda Golf Resort, which is located in the most beautiful part
of the Costa Brava, enjoys a privileged location just one and a half
hours from Barcelona, thirty minutes from Girona and its airport, and
fifteen minutes from the best beaches on the Costa Brava. Emporda
boasts fantastic facilities with 36-holes of golf, a hotel, a spa and a
golf school. Emporda Golf Club is actually a combination of four
9-hole courses, which have been cleverly constructed in such a way
that they provide two distinct 18 forms of layout. The first 18 holes
are of a links type with lakes that act like a magnet to any wayward
shots. The natural contours and dunes provide many interesting
lies, which can play havoc when the wind is blowing. The greens are
large in size, but well guarded by extensive bunkers that surround the
greens. This course also demands accuracy off the tee, and there’s no
shortage of fairway bunkers.
Girona Golf Club
Girona Golf Club was founded in 1992 and designed by FG
Hawtree, who described it as one of his finest creations.
Immaculately maintained, it is the only course in Spain sown with
‘Pencross Grass’ and relies on the topography and natural lie of
the land to give it pleasing and elegant features, which in turn
provide a challenge for golfers of all levels.The Girona Golf course
has a beautiful clubhouse built of natural stone, which makes it
blend in perfectly with its surroundings.

actually a combination of four, nine hole courses, which have
been combined to form two distinct 18 holes. Emporda Forest

it its status as Emporda Golf Resort.
