Real Club de Golf El Prat

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.
