The hotels that will connect you with the best golf courses
Well, we are going to Cerdanya because we want to talk to you about the Hotel del Prado, in Puigcerdà, a cozy establishment that stands out for its comfort, delicious family treatment and typical cuisine of the region. Apart from the ski resorts that you will have very close, and that during the winter season they offer a lot of active tourism activities, you have the San Marc de Puigcerdà Golf Club next door. From the hotel itself they will give you information about this 18-hole course, which has a route of almost three kilometers. You will find par 3 holes, with a distance ranging from 82 to 181 meters and other par 4 holes, more than 300 meters each. It does not have any par 5, so those of you who are used to the small dimensions of pitch & putt courses will be able to show off perfectly. It is a flat and short course, yes, with its difficulties such as water obstacles and out of bounds. In any case, due to its characteristics it is an ideal terrain to start in this sport without too much difficulty, and it also has a practice area surrounded by the idyllic setting of the Cereta plain and the mountains of the Girona Pyrenees.
At the same time, in Puigcerdà is the Real Club de Golf Cerdanya, which offers up to four different courses of spectacular beauty. The circuits are varied enough to never be monotonous, and their layouts are full of anecdotes experienced since 1929, when this became the first golf course in the province of Girona. Javier Arana, the designer, knew how to take advantage of the natural unevenness of the terrain to configure the difficulties of a route very well integrated into the environment. The layout represents a magnificent walk and the game will demand your full attention, especially when arriving at the green, where good players will feel comfortable with the precision required to avoid trees and sand bunkers.
And if it turns out that you want the city more than the mountain environment, in Girona you will find the combination you want, and you will enjoy your favorite sport while staying in the best hotels in the area. The Carlemany Hotel awaits you in the heart of the city, with its four stars, spacious rooms, all exterior, decorated in a modern style. With a varied and very popular gastronomic offer, Carlemany can be your departure point to the fields of the PGA Catalunya Resort, in Caldes de Malavella. It consists of 36 holes distributed over two courses. Its perfected design has allowed it to host major international events, and those who have visited highlight its versatility, which satisfies the most demanding amateur players and those seeking constant challenges and spectacular holes.
So you see, whether you are golf fans or have long wanted to get started in this sport, you already have on the table the proposal you needed: first-class hotels and golf in movie-like natural environments. What, unbeatable right?
