Opened in 1991, Emporda is now fully-established among Europe’s finest top 50 courses. American in style, three contrasting loops of nine holes start with an outstanding links, followed by two superb forest courses. Emporda really is magnificent and enjoyable. The Green nine is very different to the Blue and Gold, being completely treeless with a links feel.
10ft pyramid mounds and desert sand bunkers line most fairways.
Water features prominently on many holes. The signature 9th hole has a huge 40 ft island green protected by a menacing lake. When the wind blows, this exposed Green nine can be very challenging.
The Blue and Gold nines are similar to each other, both winding through forests. Awesome 150ft pine trees that look like giant chimney-sweep brushes line the fairways, with serpentine twists running through the nine. The course is nearly always in superb condition.
A further 9 holes are currently being built, extending Emporda to a 36-hole complex. The course is now host to the final PGA European Tour Qualifying School in conjunction with Pals.
Emporda golf resort is up there with the very best, and is a must play during your stay.

The Empordà Golf course offers a total of 36 holes, divided into two separate 18-hole courses: Links and Forest.
The course was designed by Robert von Hagge, who chose to integrate a links-style course with two large lakes, dunes and rolling bunkers into a classic Mediterranean landscape replete with dense, manicured pine stands and spacious fairways.
To this end, he was able to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the setting itself: stunning El Baix Empordà in the heart of the Costa Brava region.

With the inauguration of the final 9 holes, the course came to offer a total of two separate 18-hole courses. The first, called LINKS, spans dunes and lakes in a style reminiscent of the world-famous greens of Scotland. The second, FOREST, is more Mediterranean in style and winds invitingly through pine trees and lakes.

In the late 1990s, Empordà Golf was named one of the 10 best courses in Spain.
It was moreover ranked 13th for design in all of continental Europe by “Peugeot Golf Guide 1996”.
