PGA Golf de Cataluña 
The course can only be described as magnificent. Built in the Girona mountains, it has beautiful green fir, scrub and purple heather lining most fairways. The fairways and greens are American stadium in design with water hazards and boarded island greens.
One of the best courses in Spain, the PGA Golf de Catalunya has hosted European PGA Tour events including the Spanish Peugeot Open in May 2000. The Sarazen World Open Championship was played there in October 1999 and that year, the course was host to the European Seniors Qualifying School. This beautiful course is quite a difficult one, with trouble provided by the numerous trees and lakes. This is a long course with naturally undulating terrain and it is suitable for big hitters, though accuracy is also essential from the tee.

Club de Golf Terramar
Club de Golf Terramar features 18 scenic holes along the beach. This course is not too difficult. The majority of the holes are flat and varied. Furthermore, the microclimate of Sitges, located on the Mediterranean coast, means that you can play with sunshine and good weather some 300 days a year. The first and last holes are the course’s most difficult. A stream and four small lakes give water an important role on the course, and the trees that border the fairways make some strokes more complicated.
