Empordà Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

With two courses, Links and Forest, at Empordà Golf Club, which one should I play first, or which is better for my game?

You absolutely have to play both, but if you're short on time, start with the Links course for its dramatic, open feel and challenging wind. The Forest course offers a beautiful contrast with its tree-lined fairways and more strategic shot-making, a truly different experience. We recommend playing the Links first to get a taste of the region's unique golf landscape.

When is the best time of year to visit Empordà Golf Club for ideal playing conditions and fewer crowds?

We always steer people towards late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) for Empordà. The weather is fantastic - warm but not scorching - and you'll avoid the peak summer tourist rush, meaning more relaxed rounds. You'll find the courses in pristine condition during these shoulder seasons.

Is Empordà Golf Club worth the green fee, and what kind of overall experience can I expect beyond the golf?

Absolutely, it's a fantastic value for a 36-hole complex of this caliber in Spain. You're not just paying for two distinct, well-maintained courses; you're getting a complete experience with excellent practice facilities and a welcoming clubhouse. After your round, you're perfectly positioned to explore the stunning Costa Brava coastline or the charming medieval villages nearby, making it a true golf holiday.

What are some specific challenges or memorable holes I should look out for when playing at Empordà Golf Club?

On the Links course, prepare for the wind to be a major factor, especially on the exposed back nine - holes 12 through 15 demand precise ball striking. Over on the Forest course, the par-3 14th, with its elevated tee shot over water, is a real beauty and a test of nerve. Both courses offer distinct challenges that will keep you engaged from start to finish.

Does Empordà Golf Club offer on-site accommodation, and is it a good base for exploring the region?

Yes, the resort features a comfortable hotel right on the property, which we highly recommend for convenience. Staying there means you're just steps from the first tee, and it serves as an excellent central hub for exploring the wider Empordà region - think stunning beaches, delicious local cuisine, and historic towns like Girona, all within a short drive.
