The Real Club de Golf El Prat has once again been selected to host a competition of the LET Access Series and the Santander Golf Tour. Together with the Real Club de Golf La Peñaza, they are the only golf courses in Spain to organize a tournament for the European circuit that brings great golfers not only from Europe but from the world. Under the name of Santander Golf Tour Barcelona, the tournament will be played from October 20 to 22 at the Real Club de Golf El Prat and will be the final of the circuit.

The RCGEP Pink Golf Course, the favourite of its designer Greg Norman, is prepared to offer to players greens that are as demanding as fun, very interesting and full of challenges.

In the first nine holes, the fairways are narrower and delimited by forest where the driver is not always the best option. Even so, the golf course is long and welcomes large and fast greens. The second round is demanding and requires a good strategy from the starting tee. On the other hand, recoveries will be the key for making a good result.

The Pink Golf Course is a very good choice for this event because it is one of the professional players’ favourites and this year some of the best golfers of the moment will participate.

The tournament will be the grand finale of the LET Access Series and offer a total of thirty-five thousand euros to be distributed among the players who manage to make the cut. In 2019, the Swedish Johanna Gustavsson was the champion of the event.

Tee Times Golf Agency congratulates the Royal Club de Golf El Prat for being chosen again for this prestigious tournament. Both of its Pink & Yellow championship golf courses are of unparalleled quality and with very attractive prices. Can be played in individual 18-holes rounds with or without buggy or included in the highly requested Barcelona Golf Passport for 3 or 5 rounds, to choose between Llavaneras Golf Course, Montanya Golf Course, Terramar Golf Course, Vallromanes Golf Course, Club Golf Barcelona.

To take part of this or other tournaments or just for a relaxing golf break, the near by hotels, Camiral at PGA Catalunya *****, Double Tree by Hilton Barcelona **** and Hotel Sant Cugat ****, as well as its San Cugat Golf Course will make the most memorable golf holidays.

The third edition of the European Tour Destinations Senior Classic will be held from July 12 to 14 at PGA Catalunya Resort in recognition of the Stadium Course on its twentieth anniversary. The resort of Girona has hosted three editions of the Spanish Open and was the setting for the Final Phase of the Classification School for the European Tour for nine consecutive years until 2016, showing its quality at the highest level.

“This tournament has been growing in strength in the two years since its launch,” says Iain McInally, director of European Tour Destinations. “I must thank the Staysure Tour for making it possible to organize this tournament and show some of our highlights. Linna Golf Club and Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort, venues in 2017 and 2018, respectively, were both wonderful hosts and we are now delighted to make use of the incredible facilities of PGA Catalunya Resort this year.”

The tournament will be part of a series of special events planned in 2019 to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of PGA Catalunya Resort and the exciting journey in which we embark for the future, “adds David Plana, CEO of PGA Catalunya Resort.”

“After two wonderful editions of the European Tour Senior Destinations Classic, we are delighted to visit PGA Catalunya Resort in 2019. The Stadium Course is one of the best golf courses in the world, in my opinion and that of many others. It is a true test of golf, but also one to enjoy it. To celebrate a Staysure Tour event is fantastic for everyone involved, “says David MacLaren, head of the Staysure Tour. “The tournament is between the Swiss Seniors Open and the WINSTONgolf Senior Open, which makes it a busy period for our players, but they will enjoy fighting for the points of the Order of Merit.”
