Morning light, the scent of salt on the breeze, the clean strike of a drive lifting into a blue Catalan sky. For anyone staying in Sitges, golf isn’t just available — it’s exceptional. Within an hour you’ll find a cluster of full 18-hole courses, each with its own character, all offering more than a game. These aren’t pitch-and- putts or nine-hole fillers, but the kind of places where a round becomes a story to take home.
Before we dive into our choice of clubs to visit around Sitges; let’s start with the obvious local treasure: Club de Golf Terramar. Set right here in Sitges, Terramar has been welcoming golfers since 1922. Its fairways stretch along the coastline, with holes that brush so close to the sea you can taste it. It’s elegant,
historic, and relaxed — the course that defines golf in Sitges. Guests love the way it feels both grand and accessible: a course where a scratch golfer can chase a serious round while friends with higher handicaps still have a brilliant day. It’s the perfect round when guests want convenience without compromise.
You can happily play here day after day.
But for those on a serious golf mission who are ready to step beyond Sitges town, we’ve lined up five highly regarded clubs to expand the possibilities. All are the definitely worth making a short journey for.
1. Real Club de Golf El Prat (Terrassa)
Playing at El Prat feels like stepping into the upper tier of Spanish golf. This is where reputation and challenge meet. With an amazing 45 holes laid out by Greg Norman, this is a course you can return to again and again without repeating the same test. The terrain moves between rolling hills and wooded stretches, meaning placement is often more important than power. Bunkers are cunningly placed, greens are fast, and even the short par 3s demand attention. For serious players, this is a playground of strategy.
Beyond the fairway the atmosphere reflects its long history. Founded over a century ago, El Prat has hosted more than 250 national and international championships. The clubhouse is refined yet welcoming, its terrace overlooking the practice range where local members and visiting golfers mingle. The facilities are extensive: a large driving range, multiple putting greens, and a short-game area where groups can warm up or hold light-hearted chipping contests before their round. It’s the sort of place where a group of friends can spend a full day, starting with practice, then completing different loops before reuniting in the refined yet welcoming club house.
The undeniable prestige factor matters too. There’s a quiet confidence about the place, a sense that you are playing somewhere with international recognition. It’s polished without being pretentious, and that balance makes it an unforgettable experience.
2. Infinitum Golf (Tarragona)
Infinitum Golf has earned its place among Catalonia’s most admired golfing destinations. Infinitum is about choice and atmosphere. Few clubs in Europe offer 3 courses such distinct personalities in one place.
- The Lakes Course, a Greg Norman design, winds through reed-lined water with birdlife circling overhead. It demands precision and calm nerves, particularly on breezy days.
- The Hills Course is a different mood altogether, climbing into pine forests with fairways that open to sweeping Mediterranean views.
- Then there’s the Ruins Course, a compact but atmospheric 9-hole loop that plays around Roman archaeological remains — golf with history quite literally under your feet.
After the 18th, the experience carries on in one of Infinitum’s two modern clubhouses, each positioned to frame sweeping views of the landscape. Practice areas and a smart pro shop give the day a professional edge without losing its relaxed feel, and there’s even a bespoke fitness centre for those who like to push further. Non-golfers in the party don’t feel left out either, with the nearby Infinitum Beach Club offering pools, cabanas and a different way to enjoy their visit to Infinitum.
3. Golf Costa Daurada (Tarragona)
Golf Costa Daurada feels deeply rooted in its setting. Olive groves, pine trees, and undulating terrain make for a course that is unmistakably Mediterranean. The opening holes ease you in, but don’t be fooled — several fairways narrow suddenly, and the back nine, in particular, rewards accuracy over distance.
Elevated tees give wide views across the countryside, while approaches framed
by ancient trees feel timeless.
What sets this club apart is its versatility. Golfers of mixed levels can all enjoy a round here without anyone feeling left behind. For groups, and family outings that matters. Some might find it a friendly course to relax on, while others take on the trickier dog legs and tiered greens with determination. Off the course, facilities stretch beyond golf: padel courts, tennis, swimming, even a fitness area so if not everyone plays this is a great opportunity to include everyone. The clubhouse restaurant serves hearty Catalan dishes, ideal for refuelling while replaying the best (and worst) shots of the day.
4. Club de Golf Barcelona (Masia Bach)
Masia Bach is as close as you’ll come to a traditional championship course. Designed to host international competitions, its main course stretches across long fairways, with bunkering and water hazards that reward bold but careful play. Big hitters will enjoy the space to let drives fly, while the sloping greens keep even short-game specialists’ alert.
There’s also a shorter executive course, perfect for a quicker warm-up or if part of the group prefers a lighter round after a big night out. Practice facilities are strong, with a driving range and short-game areas that allow a proper warm-up. And then there are the views: the course sits among vineyards and rolling hills, giving the day a distinctly Catalan backdrop. Playing here feels refined but not
rigid, the kind of outing that works well for mixed groups — those who want the full championship challenge and those who want a gentler version of the experience.
The clubhouse has a reputation for attentive service and fine dining, making it more than just a stop between holes. It’s not unusual for groups to linger here long after their round, enjoying regional wines and dishes while the sun dips over the hills. Masia Bach balances convenience, challenge, and atmosphere to ensure a great day is had by all.
5. Club de Golf Montanyà (Montseny Natural Park)
Montanyà feels like a different world. Set within the Montseny Natural Park, it offers a round wrapped in forest air and mountain scenery. Designed by David Thomas, the course flows through varied terrain — some holes narrow through wooded corridors, others open onto broad valleys where drives soar. Elevation
changes add drama, and the shifting light through the trees makes each hole feel individual.
Montanyà is often the course that surprises most. It’s less talked about internationally than El Prat or Infinitum but comfortably holds its own within the top courses in Spain. Those who play it remember the tranquillity, the beauty, and the way the course feels both natural and thoughtfully designed.
The clubhouse adds to the charm, a rustic building with views across the landscape and a menu that favours local produce. It’s not the best known, but for many, it’s the most memorable.
The Choice is Yours
From the seaside calm of Terramar to the prestige of El Prat, from Infinitum’s resort style to Costa Daurada’s rustic charm, from Masia Bach’s polished balance to Montanyà’s natural beauty — Sitges is surrounded by golf worth a brief drive for. Each course offers a full 18-hole experience, each within easy reach of your gorgeous villa base. Groups can pick their mood: social and stylish, traditional and prestigious, authentic and rustic, or serene and scenic.
The common thread? All are within an hour of Sitges, all offer more than just golf, and all give you another adventure and more golfing stories to bring home from some of Catalonia’s top courses.
