PGA Catalunya Golf Course, Catalonia Spain.

Stadium Course: This spectacular and imposing course has been consistently ranked among the best ten golf courses in Europe since it was opened in 1999. Be warned, however, the beauty of the course can distract from the many dangers waiting to do serious damage to your scorecard. It makes no concessions with its trees pressing onto fairways, strategically placed bunkers and the lakes that come into play on no fewer than seven of the toughest holes. It is rare to find so many memorable holes in one course and despite the many ups and downs, tees are elevated and very few fairways are uphill. The Tour Course: For a slightly less stern challenge, turn to the equally beautiful but kinder Tour Course. Dominated by pine trees and lakes, the course is shorter and a little less difficult to play than the Stadium Course, yet the Ángel Gallardo and Neil Coles design ensure that it remains a challenge for every level of player. Most of the holes feature wide fairways and strategically placed bunkers, which can be forgiving of a less than perfect shot.
