The Forest Course at Hotel Terraverda at Empordà Golf is a classic Mediterranean parkland layout set amongst towering umbrella pines and beautifully manicured fairways in the heart of the Costa Brava. Designed by renowned architect Robert von Hagge, the course offers a contrasting experience to the resort’s Dunes Course, combining tree-lined precision with subtle strategic challenges throughout the round.

Widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable golf courses in Catalonia, the Forest Course winds naturally through dense woodland, with spacious fairways framed by mature pine trees and gently undulating terrain. While more sheltered than the exposed Dunes layout, accuracy from the tee remains essential, with carefully positioned bunkers, water hazards, and fast greens rewarding thoughtful course management.
