Barcelona is history, art, music… and now it's also golf. The cosmopolitan Mediterranean city is positioning itself as one of the most attractive golf destinations in southern Europe thanks to its association of seven top-level courses.

The Real Club de Golf El Prat, Club de Golf Barcelona, Golf La Roca, Club de Golf Llavaneras, Golf Montanyà, Club de Golf Terramar and Club de Golf Vallromanes join together under the Barcelona Golf Destination brand with the aim of positioning Barcelona as a golf destination.

The association has designed an ambitious action plan for 2020, which includes participation in industry trade shows for both end consumers and tour operators, a presence at various European Tour events, and the organization of familiarization trips and press trips. With these initiatives, Barcelona Golf Destination aims to attract visitors from Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Santiago Rosell, president of Barcelona Golf Destination, explains that “this association was born out of the need to join forces among the golf courses near the city of Barcelona to promote a destination that is unique in the world for its golfing quality, cultural richness, and unparalleled surroundings. There is strength in unity, and thanks to this association, we will be able to compete on equal terms with other golf destinations.”.

The association has the support and collaboration of the Barcelona Provincial Council. “Golf tourism still has a long way to go, and thanks to Barcelona Golf Destination and its ambitious action plan, along with the promotion of our tourism brand, Barcelona is much more, we will be able to attract a high-quality audience to the Barcelona destination,” explains Juan Luis Ruiz, Provincial Deputy for Tourism.

Thanks to the alliance of these 7 golf courses, international visitors have the opportunity to play on a wide variety of courses and landscapes, the possibility of visiting courses that have hosted various Spanish Opens of the European circuit and enjoying the services and modern facilities offered by the different Clubhouses.

All of this, combined with an airport connected to major European cities, the diverse cultural and leisure offerings of the city, and a mild Mediterranean climate, places Barcelona among the most attractive emerging golf destinations in Europe.

The association is launching Golf Pass BCN, a "virtual" card that allows users to obtain different green fee packages to enjoy up to five different golf courses for a flat rate. Golf Pass BCN is a streamlined solution for international visitors to personalize their trip and book tee times at all the courses they wish to play at once.

The Golf Pass BCN rate to play on up to 3 golf courses is €199, while booking on up to 5 golf courses is valued at €299.

To make the experience complete, the association has also designed a series of green fee packages with accommodation in one of the hotels located in or near the clubs, or in the center of Barcelona.
