Camiral Golf has announced a €7 million investment to renovate its golf courses, and both the Stadium and Tour courses have now reopened after the works. It’s big news for the Girona resort that will host the 2031 Ryder Cup, set to be played on the Costa Brava in less than five years.
The renovation covers the turf, the machinery, the maintenance team and the player experience. Here are the key points of the resort’s biggest upgrade in years.
Bermuda Grass: Less Water, Championship Quality
The most visible change is the switch to a warm-season Bermuda grass on the Stadium and Tour courses. According to the resort, this variety will cut water use by 33% while keeping playing surfaces at a high standard.
It’s a decision that combines sporting performance and sustainability, increasingly important in a Mediterranean region where water is a precious resource.
New Machinery and a Bigger Greenkeeping Team
The investment includes new machinery and technology for course maintenance. The greenkeeping team has also grown from 35 to 50 people, a clear boost to keep the courses in top condition all year round.
The works were overseen by Flavio Papa, Director of Golf, and Alfredo Álvarez, Golf Course Superintendent.
New VIP Packages and Personalised Service
Camiral has also launched VIP golf packages and personalised services for players, and has appointed Albert Guerrero as its new golf customer services manager. CEO David Plana presented the investment.
