Real Club de Golf El Prat

Real Club de Golf El Prat is a gem in the crown of Spanish golf. Established over a century ago in 1912 and graced by the royal patronage of King Alfonso XIII, this prestigious club has a rich heritage intertwined with the evolution of golf in Spain. Relocated to a sprawling 280-hectare natural park just 25 minutes from the bustling heart of Barcelona, its present iteration was masterfully designed by golfing legend Greg Norman. This move not only marked a new chapter in its illustrious history but also solidified its status as a world-class golfing destination. The club’s harmonious integration into the serene landscapes between Terrassa and Sabadell, combined with an award-winning clubhouse by Carlos Ferrater, offers an unmatched ambiance that captivates the spirit of every golfer. The course itself is a marvel of design and strategy, offering a canvas on which players of all levels can paint their own unique golfing story. With 45 holes divided into five loops of nine - named Abajo, Arriba, Piscina, Bosque, and Valles - Greg Norman’s vision offers a versatile challenge that adapts to the contours of the land and the natural beauty of its setting. Golfers can embark on various 18-hole adventures, most notably the Pink or Yellow courses, each presenting distinct characteristics. The Pink, lauded for its beauty and challenge, and the softened Yellow course, redesigned in 2021 for playability and ecological sustainability, showcase not just the physical diversity but also the club's commitment to a greener future. This thoughtful redesign has made the Yellow course more approachable, while still ensuring that those seeking a demanding test of their skills are well catered for. Beyond the fairways, Real Club de Golf El Prat encapsulates a comprehensive experience that extends well past the 18th green. The modern clubhouse is a focal point where gastronomic delights await, offering everything from casual fare to exquisite culinary creations. The practice facilities set a gold standard for preparation, with a 300-meter driving range and extensive short game areas that allow golfers to refine their skills in idyllic surroundings. This, combined with the natural beauty and tranquility of the parkland setting, makes a day at El Prat a memorable journey. It’s a place where the storied tradition of golf meets thoughtful luxury, making every visit not just a game, but an occasion.
