Play the very best courses in Girona

Girona is one of Spain’s most respected golf regions, combining championship pedigree with exceptional course conditioning. From tree-lined inland layouts to coastal designs shaped by the Mediterranean breeze, golfers can enjoy a diverse and rewarding experience.

Some of Girona’s best golf courses include:

Stadium Course | Camiral Golf Ranked 14th in Continental Europe by Top 100 courses in 2026 Architect: Ángel Gallardo & Neil Coles | Par: 72

Consistently ranked as Spain’s number one golf course, the Stadium Course at Camiral Golf is a true championship layout. Designed to challenge professionals while remaining playable for amateurs, it features immaculate fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and tree-lined holes that demand accuracy from tee to green. Having hosted multiple European Tour events, it stands as one of Europe’s must-play courses.

Travel tip: Accuracy is key here, favour positioning over power, especially on the tighter front nine.

Tour Course | Camiral Golf Ranked 23rd in Spain by Top 100 courses in 2026 Architect: Ángel Gallardo & Neil Coles | Par: 72

Designed alongside the Stadium Course, the Tour Course offers a slightly more forgiving experience without compromising on quality. Wider fairways and fewer forced carries make it ideal for higher handicappers, while still delivering the same excellent conditioning and scenic surroundings.

Good to know: A great option for mixed-ability groups looking to enjoy Camiral’s world-class facilities in a more relaxed setting.

Forest Course | Empordà Golf Ranked 27th in Spain by Top 100 courses in 2026 Architect: Robert von Hagge | Par: 72

The Forest Course at Empordà Golf is a classic tree-lined layout that rewards precision and smart course management. Winding through pine forests, it offers a peaceful setting and a traditional golfing experience that contrasts beautifully with the more open links-style courses in the region.

Insider tip: Keep it straight off the tee, the narrow fairways can quickly punish wayward drives.

Dunes Course | Empordà Golf Ranked 38th in Spain by Top 100 courses in 2026 Architect: Robert von Hagge | Par: 71

A true inland links experience, the Dunes Course at Empordà Golf features rolling terrain, strategically placed bunkers, and exposed fairways shaped by the natural landscape. It offers a completely different test to the Forest Course, with wind often playing a key role in shot selection.

Course tip: Club selection is crucial here, especially when the coastal breeze picks up.
