About Real Club de Golf El Prat
Real Club de Golf El Prat is a 45-hole club on a wooded estate between Terrassa and Sabadell. Greg Norman designed every hole from scratch, and the Pink (Rosa) course leads the layouts as a par 72 parkland test. Mediterranean pines frame many holes, and the front nine is tight and technical, with tree-lined fairways that ask for accurate tee shots. Bunker complexes guard landing areas and greens alike. The Pink shares the property with the Yellow (Amarillo) course, and these are the two layouts that visitors can book.
- The club has hosted the Spanish Open ten times, with editions between 1956 and 2015.
- Seve Ballesteros won the 1981 Spanish Open here; Thomas Aiken took the title in 2011 and James Morrison in 2015.
- Golf Digest ranks the Pink course sixth among Spanish courses.
- The club has hosted more than 250 national and international championships.
History of Real Club de Golf El Prat
Count Churruca founded the club in 1912 as Barcelona's first golf club, and a visit from King Alfonso XIII added the Real title. Expansion of Barcelona airport eventually forced the club off its old ground at El Prat de Llobregat. It moved in 1997 to the Bonvilar estate, and the new 45 holes opened in 2003.
