Costa Brava (Verde)
Club de Golf Costa Brava was founded in 1962 but the course didn’t appear for another six years. Designed by John Hamilton Stutt, the layout’s routed through woods on the front nine before transitioning into a more open back nine.
In 2004, the club introduced nine new holes, allowing two different 18-hole courses to be played. Holes 10 to 16 on the original Green course are also now holes 1-7 on the Red course, followed by nine new holes (8-16) from Jorge Soler Peix concluding with holes 17 and 18 from the Green layout.
Extending to 5,600 metres from the back markers, the Green course plays to a par of 70 (the Red is a par 73). Highlight holes include the 440-metre 4th (the only par five on the front nine) and the last of the six par threes on the card at the 134-metre 17th.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
