Camiral Golf & Wellness — Stadium Course
Neil Coles and Ángel Gallardo's 1999 forest design near Girona — par 73, slope 155, three-time Spanish Open host, and confirmed venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup.
Course overview
Designed by Neil Coles and Ángel Gallardo with European Golf Design and opened in 1999, the Stadium Course at Camiral Golf & Wellness is consistently ranked among the top courses in continental Europe. The par-73 layout winds through dense Mediterranean cork oak forest near Caldes de Malavella, 30 kilometres south of Girona, with a course rating of 76.0 and slope of 155 — one of the most demanding certificates in Europe. The course has hosted the Spanish Open three times and the DP World Tour Catalunya Championship in 2022, and has been confirmed as the host venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup. The club was previously known as PGA Catalunya Golf & Wellness before rebranding as Camiral in 2021.

How to get there
Girona Airport is the closest option and well served by low-cost carriers. The course is a short drive south of Girona. Barcelona Airport is larger and more connected internationally; the drive north on the AP-7 takes around 60 minutes.
Where to stay
Barcelona is the gateway for Catalonian golf, and for golfers willing to accept a longer drive to the courses, it offers an unbeatable combination of culture, food, and city life. Camiral Golf & Wellness, set in the Girona countryside near the Costa Brava, suits golfers who prefer a resort stay to the city.
