Emporda Forest Course overview

Style: Parkland

Ranked 27th in Spain by Top 100 courses in 2026 Location: Costa Brava, Spain | Style: Championship / Parkland | Length: approx. 6,150 metres | Par: 72 | Founded: 1990

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.

Course Highlights

  • Classic Mediterranean parkland layout – Tree-lined fairways, mature umbrella pines, and immaculate conditioning provide a traditional and picturesque golfing experience.
  • Designed by Robert von Hagge – The renowned architect created a strategic course that blends seamlessly into the natural Costa Brava landscape.
  • Precision-focused challenge – Narrower driving areas, well-placed bunkers, and water hazards reward accuracy and intelligent shot-making.
  • Part of Empordà Golf Resort – Play alongside the acclaimed Dunes Course for a complete 36-hole golf experience at one of Spain’s premier golf destinations.

Signature Holes

One of the standout holes on the Forest Course is the challenging par-4 16th hole. Framed by dense pine trees and protected by strategically placed bunkers, the hole requires both precision and nerve from tee to green.

A demanding approach shot into a well-guarded green often proves decisive late in the round, making it one of the course’s most memorable finishing challenges.
