PGA Catalunya ResortPGA Catalunya Resort (often called Camiral) is a purpose-built golf resort set in rolling farmland and pine-scrub countryside just outside Sant Jordi Desvalls. The estate combines two 18-hole championship courses with a hotel, practice academy and residential development, aimed at both visiting golfers and longer-stay guests.
The resort is best known for its contrasting courses: a more dramatic, parkland-style layout and a second course with a strategic, walkable design, together offering a varied test for players of differing abilities. Facilities include a large practice area and a clubhouse with terraces that overlook the courses.
Visiting feels relaxed rather than urban - expect well-maintained fairways, clubhouse services, and opportunities to combine golf with day trips into Girona or the Costa Brava coast. Non-golfers will find spa and dining options at the hotel and quiet country walks nearby.
- Stadium Course: The resort’s headline 18 holes feature dramatic bunkering and elevated tees with broad panoramic views across the countryside.
- Tour Course: A flatter, strategic 18-hole layout that rewards accurate shot-making and offers a contrasting playing style to the Stadium Course.
- Practice and academy: A large driving range and short-game areas provide space for warm-ups, lessons and detailed practice.
- Clubhouse terraces: Terraces at the clubhouse provide a relaxed place to watch golfers, have a drink and enjoy course views.
- Local countryside routes: Quiet lanes and waymarked rural paths around the resort are pleasant for walking or cycling between rounds.
