INFINITUM Golf Spain may not be a household name just yet, but it’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about golf destinations in Europe, and for good reason. Tucked away in Tarragona, just an hour south of Barcelona, this coastal resort recently claimed the title of “Europe’s Best Golf Venue” at the World Golf Awards. Not bad for a club you won’t find plastered across budget golf brochures.

Instead of relying on big-name hype, INFINITUM has quietly built a serious reputation, one based on substance, not spectacle. With 45 holes spread across three distinct courses, a pristine Mediterranean setting, and one of the most advanced sustainability programmes in the game, it’s drawing in golfers who know exactly what they’re looking for.

No gimmicks. No noise. Just proper golf, played in style.

Three Courses, One Philosophy: Elevated Golf

Let’s get this out of the way, INFINITUM isn’t massive in scale, but what it offers is quality, through and through. The flagship Lakes Course, designed by Greg Norman, is a strategic challenge winding through wetlands and water hazards. It’s been a regular venue for DP World Tour events, and it shows in the conditioning and flow.

Then there’s the Hills Course, which trades water for elevation and tree-lined serenity. It’s the thinking man’s course, scenic, unforgiving, and built for shot-shapers. The Ruins Course, a shorter, 9-hole track laid over Roman archaeological remains, offers a quirky but beautifully integrated warm-up or cool-down option.

All three deliver their own rhythm, and when played together, give INFINITUM a rare sense of variety that even the big names on the Costa del Sol struggle to match.

Spain’s Most Sustainable Golf Resort? Quite Possibly.

Where many clubs are still fumbling through “going green,” INFINITUM has built sustainability into its DNA. The resort is GEO Certified, powered in part by solar, and uses reclaimed water to keep the courses lush without waste. The maintenance practices are forward-thinking, with organic treatments and a genuine respect for the surrounding nature reserves.

It’s not marketing fluff, it’s functional, responsible, and frankly the direction golf needs to go. And it doesn’t hurt that the result is a course that looks and plays like it belongs in a luxury brochure, minus the chemical sheen.

What’s It Like Off the Course? Smooth, Sophisticated, and Uncrowded

This isn’t a party resort or an all-inclusive madhouse. INFINITUM’s vibe leans toward the understated. The beach club is sleek and minimal, the on-site dining is focused on fresh Catalan ingredients, and the service? Quietly excellent.

Tarragona itself, a historic coastal city with Roman ruins and proper Spanish charm, offers a more grounded cultural experience than what you’ll find in Marbella or Benidorm. For golfers who enjoy pairing a round with a decent bottle of Priorat or a long seafood lunch, this part of Spain is gold.

A Smart Pick for Discerning Golf Travellers

What makes INFINITUM Golf Spain truly stand out isn’t just its awards or architecture, it’s how well it understands its audience. This is a destination for players who’ve outgrown the chaos of larger resorts and want something more focused. Better golf, better food, better surroundings.

If you’re planning your next Spanish golf holiday and want to try something that still feels like a discovery, this is it. INFINITUM has the pedigree, the playability, and the poise, and for now, still just enough anonymity to feel like you’re in on a secret.
