Looking for a golfing holiday? Or are you just hoping to play a few rounds of golf, while the family is on the beach? L’ Estartit doesn’t have a golf course of its own, but there is one just up the road at Pals. As Pals Golf Course is only 15 minutes away, I guess, we could justifiably say this is the local course. However, what makes Estartit great for a golfing holiday is its location, right on the beach, and close to several golf courses. Most of L'Estartit Hotels will have details on the local courses.
Platja de Pals Golf Course is a 6222 meter par 73. It is an internationally renowned course, in fact it was voted in the top 100 courses in Europe. As for the setting it could not be more perfect.
Of all the courses on the Costa Brava, this has to be the prettiest. Hundreds of pine trees line the fairways, making for very scenic views.
The Pals golf course itself is fairly level and smooth. The greens are slightly raised and generally defended by bunkers. I think even the novice will find reading the greens quite easy. That’s not to say they are dead flat, they do have gentle slops and dips, the thing I found, was that the ball did tend to play true.
The one thing I would watch out for is the trees'. Although pretty to look at, they do present a natural hazard. The branches do tend to over hang some of the fairway, so watch your driving. The less I say about that the better.
All in all this is a great golf course. I would think no matter what your level of skill you will enjoy a round at Platja de Pals.
