Golfers living outside of Spain know very little about the up-and-coming golf destination called Costa Dorada . It has all the important elements: four good courses with new ones following their trail, terrific weather all year-round, quality accommodations, and two historical major cities to boot.
Panoramica Golf Course
A well-designed and enjoyable course, Panoramica is the most southerly golf course in the region, situated between Barcelona and Valencia. Technically, Panoramica stands just beyond Catalonia, but the Catalans regard it as one of their own.
Designed by Bernhard Langer with much thought and strategy, the Panoramica is a quality golf course with excellent practice facilities. It is a long course, with four sets of forward tees, mostly on flat terrain with a little bit of roughness. Built on a lovely portion of olive grove landscape, the course provides for easy walking and pure golf enjoyment for all levels of ability. Be forewarned though, high handicaps need be attentive that it is in fact a championship course.
The clubhouse is first-rate, with a snack bar and restaurant. It s about a 45-minute drive from Cambrills, but if you are staying in the Costa Dorada specifically for a golf holiday, then we strongly recommend that you make the drive, as you will surely not regret it.

Interestingly, the 13th hole is one of the longest in Spain , measuring 637 yards from the back tees. The course is not as long as Bonmont or Panoramica so it s a bit easier for high handicaps.

Aiguesverdes Golf Course
Located near the town of Reus and a mere five minutes from Salou and Cambrills, this course lies in the bucolic side of the area. Aiguesverdes is a pleasant local golf course, characterized by olive and almond trees that line the fairways. It s an easy-walking course as the terrain is leveled.
This is a very extensive golf course measuring almost 7,000 yards. The forward tees make for a less intimidating experience for higher handicappers. The signature hole is the short Par 3 third -- inspired by the 17 th at Sawgrass, it has an island green completely bounded by water. The clubhouse is breathtakingly lovely, a renovated olden farmhouse with a splendid outdoor swimming pool.
