Every hole at the El Prat Golf Club oozes quality – it is a very classy club and around 2200 members cannot be wrong. Sometimes once you set foot in a clubhouse and then out on the terrace to get your first look at a course, you just know it is going to be good – you get that feeling at El Prat in bucket loads. Wandering down the great mature tree-lined holes on the Blue give an instant feel of just being glad to be there, this is a special place. So many holes to mention, so I’ll just limit it to a couple on the back nine and both par-3’s; the 12th is only 140 metres maximum but so pretty with decent bunkering at the green and the whole hole is surrounded by trees – playing this hole in isolation is just ten minutes of perfection and there is a strong hint of being on Woburn’s Duchess course. The 15th is very different, not tree lined at all, in fact the hole is quite open but plays long; 214 metres from the back black tee to a slightly raised green and with a huge bunker protecting the front and both sides of the hole - words alone cannot describe how good the 15th is… I do hope to return to the club one day to play the Open course, which apparently is even better.
