Empordà Dunes

“Where people saw a marshy unappealing land, von Hagge found a blank canvas where he could let his imagination run wild.” -Rick Baril-

Just a few kilometres from Girona, the Dunes course at Empordà Golf offers a unique golf experience set within the natural surroundings of the Costa Brava, combining a design that challenges even amateur players. With more than two decades of history, this course remains one of the preferred destinations for golf enthusiasts.

Designed by the renowned Texan architect Robert von Hagge, Dunes blends the charm of British links courses with the unique character of the Empordà and Mediterranean landscape. Its story began in 1989, when a group of local golf enthusiasts acquired 125 hectares of land to create an ambitious project. In less than two years, the first nine holes opened, and today, after more than two decades of evolution, Dunes continues to stand as one of the most appreciated options for players of all levels.

The layout combines wide, fast and subtly undulating greens, strategically placed bunkers and lakes that test precision and strategy. The treeless, open landscape recalls the authenticity of Scottish links courses, while water features and dunes add an extra challenge, requiring players to carefully consider every shot. This combination of beauty and difficulty is precisely what brings players back time and again, seeking to surpass themselves.

Dunes has hosted several DP World Tour tournaments, the Santander Golf Tour, the Spain Mid-Amateur Championship and numerous professional events, consistently receiving praise from the international professional golf community. This confirms not only the quality of the course but also its ability to test even the most experienced players.

TEST YOUR LEVEL:

It is not just about enjoying a splendid course, Dunes demands strategy, skill and concentration on every hole. Players must face subtle yet deceptive obstacles, with challenging rough areas and bunkers that test accuracy, such as Hole 8, a long par 5 where the green is protected by a bunker on the right, making the approach particularly difficult, especially in windy conditions.

This is a course that rewards planning and intelligent course management. It is this combination of challenge and beauty that has established Dunes as a benchmark for golf in Spain and across Europe.

The Dunes course continues to captivate both experienced and novice players, offering unique experiences on every hole and excellent maintenance throughout the entire layout.
