The Costa Brava has been establishing itself for years as one of the premier golf destinations in Southern Europe. But beyond the classic grand courses, different, more open spaces are also beginning to stand out, designed for a much more complete enjoyment of the sport.
This is precisely the case with Serres de Pals Golf & Sport Club, a sports complex located in the heart of the Baix Empordà region, surrounded by rice paddies, nature, and just minutes from the sea.
With the arrival of the 2031 Ryder Cup in Camiral, places like this help showcase another side of golf on the Costa Brava: more accessible, more social, and fully integrated into the local lifestyle.
Much more than a golf course
The first thing that surprises you about Serres de Pals is that it doesn’t feel like a traditional club.
Here, golf coexists with:
- padel
- football
- beach volleyball
- guided activities
- sports schools
All of this within a beautifully maintained natural setting, in the Mas Gelabert area, an old farmhouse in the Empordà region surrounded by fields and vegetation.
The overall feeling is much more relaxed than that of other, more classic resorts. There are families, groups of friends, players who come to train, and people who simply want to spend a few active hours in a beautiful environment.
Golf among rice paddies and nature
competition, and that’s precisely where part of its charm lies.
The 9-hole course is designed for:
- beginners
- technical training
- fast rounds
- more dynamic and accessible golf
- But the setting completely elevates the experience.
Playing here means being surrounded by the characteristic landscape of the Empordà region, with views of the Montgrí massif and very close to the Montgrí, Medes Islands, and Baix Ter Natural Park.
There are times of day, especially at sunset, when the course exudes a tranquility rarely found in more crowded destinations.
