Despite only opening for play in the late 1990s, the Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya Resort has established itself firmly in the exclusive list of Spain's best, thanks to it hosting a number of prestigious national and international events. The highlight came when the course was chosen to host two European Tour events in the space of 10 months, the Gene Sarazen World Open and the Peugeot Spanish Open.

 

Measuring over 7,300 yards from the tips, the Stadium Course requires solid hitting but it’s not simply a case of strength over strategy. Framed by the Pyrenees Mountains, the layout is a real challenge, with tree-lined fairways, carefully positioned bunkers and two large lakes, which are in play on almost half of the holes. All of this calls for plenty of thought and strategy from the tee and with a great deal of variety throughout, the test of golf on offer here is a dynamic and infinitely enjoyable one.
