Pitch and Putt Gualta proves you don’t need to be an experienced player to enjoy golf on the Costa Brava. Located in the heart of the Baix Empordà, close to some of the region’s most beautiful coves and beaches, this 18-hole course has become a go-to spot for anyone looking to take up golf or sharpen their short game in a relaxed, accessible setting.
Unlike the major courses surrounding Camiral, home of the Ryder Cup 2031, Gualta offers a much lighter experience: short distances, no need for an official handicap, and a round that can be completed in just over two hours. The perfect complement for any family visiting the region ahead of the big tournament.
The Course by the Numbers
- Holes: 18
- Distances: between 70 and 120 metres per hole
- Total course length: 1,710 metres
- Approximate duration: just over 2 hours
- Location: Baix Empordà, sheltered from the tramontana wind by the Montgrí massif
- Days of sunshine per year: over 300
- Handicap required: none, ideal for beginners
A Course Designed for Every Level
What makes Pitch and Putt Gualta special is how well it adapts to any type of player. Its layout combines short, accessible holes with more technical stretches that challenge even experienced golfers looking to sharpen their short game. Bunkers, a forest of pines and oaks, elevation changes and a water hazard add variety and challenge throughout the round.
For beginners, the great advantage is that an official Pitch & Putt handicap isn’t required. A few basic lessons are enough to head out onto the course. For more experienced players, Gualta offers an ideal space to work on precision and strategy over short distances, something essential even at the highest level.
Facilities and Services
The complex has three well-equipped practice areas:
- Range Gualta, with TrackMan technology to analyse every shot
- Approach area with a bunker included
- Putting green for working on your short game around the hole
The facilities also include a restaurant serving local produce, a golf shop (proshop) with equipment rental available, and a golf academy for anyone wanting to improve their technique with professional instruction.
Perfect for Families and Seniors
One of the standout features of Pitch and Putt Gualta is how accessible it is for every type of visitor. The short distances allow children and older players to complete all 18 holes without excessive physical strain, something that can be more demanding on a traditional golf course.
For families visiting the Costa Brava for the Ryder Cup 2031, Gualta is an excellent option for introducing the youngest members to the sport, or for encouraging non-golfing companions to try the game in a setting far more relaxed than the Stadium Course.
