Golf trips on the Costa Brava: where to stay
The Empordà combines a championship course, a long shoulder season and the Mediterranean coast — a strong, under-rated alternative to the Algarve or southern Spain for a golf group.
A good golf trip is decided as much by the base as by the course. For a group, the ideal is simple: a serious course within minutes of the door, a place big enough for everyone to stay together, and a coast and food scene worth the non-golf hours. The northern Costa Brava — the Alt Empordà around Peralada — delivers all three.
The course: Golf Peralada
Golf Peralada is an 18-hole championship course and one of Catalonia's most respected, set among vineyards and woodland with the Pyrenees as a backdrop. It is the anchor of any golf trip to this corner of the coast, and the reason estates here are built right beside the fairways.
Green fees and tee times
Green fees and tee times are booked directly with the club and are not included in a villa rental — plan them separately, and book ahead in the high season. A local concierge partner can coordinate tee times alongside your stay.
When to go
One of the region's biggest advantages is the length of the season. Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) offer warm, stable golfing weather without peak-summer heat or crowds — ideal for Northern European and North American groups escaping colder months.
| Season | Why it works for golf |
|---|---|
| April–June | Warm, green, long days, quieter course |
| July–August | Hot; early tee times plus pool afternoons |
| September–October | Ideal: warm sea, harvest season, fewer crowds |
Where to stay: stay on the course
For a group, a private estate beside the course beats a hotel: you walk to the first tee, everyone stays under one roof, and the non-golfers have pools, a gym and the coast nearby. Villa Pax sits directly beside the fairways of Golf Peralada — eight en-suite bedrooms for up to 15, two private pools, a private gym and a 250 m² nightclub for the 19th hole that runs a little long.
Walk off the course, into your own pool, and back out for dinner in a medieval village — that is the Empordà golf trip.
Beyond the course
The non-golf hours are where the Empordà pulls ahead. Within easy reach: the wineries of Peralada, the wild coves of Cap de Creus, Cadaqués, the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, and some of Spain's finest gastronomy. It is a trip that keeps the whole group happy, not only the golfers.
