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. 103
