Well, after a great lunch (food here is very top notch) and some rest we faced the Forest in the afternoon and again in 40kmh winds.

Even the dense pine forests make you fell more controlled and not as demanded, here the narrow fairways and having to shape the ball both ways high and low was quite fun. Again it was holding approaches in the downwind, it is not fun to have to hit a PW over 140yds of water but knowing anything else...

Located in the heart of the Costa Brava, near the beaches and natural parks, Empordà Golf Club offers you two 18-hole courses, the Links and the Forest, both designed by the world-renowned architect Robert von Hagge.

Empordà Golf Resort (Forest) slides through a typical Mediterranean pine forest that acts as a shelter when the wind blows. You have to be specially accurate with your tee shots, it is not a very difficult course but you have to play it in accordance to your factual skills. If is windy i choose fore...

Emporda with its two golf courses and spacious accommodation is an above average modern ‘golf factory’, and the Forest is its flagship offering.

This modern Robert von Hagge design is a compelling parkland layout even if to tame it the player has to be on top form. The fairways are firm, the greens are fast and it is only the well-used teeing areas that are not of good standard. The course with its high slope rating of 138 from the yellow te...

We selected to play the Forest course and I loved it. It was the best of the five courses we played that week. It wound it’s way through the trees, was beautifully presented, the green complexes where excellent and well protected but most of the green were amongst the best I have played on. They wer...

The eighteen holes on the Forest course lie immediately to the north of the Links but you’d be hard pressed to believe they occupy the same property.

You only have to look at the surrounding landscape to see how flat the terrain is in this part of the Costa Brava so it took a great deal of effort to fashion the contours on both courses, especially on the more open Links.Apart from the 1st, 9th and 18th holes on the Forest, the fairways are lined ...

An absolute beauty of a pine forest course.

The opening two holes, being tree less give you a false idea of the course. Once in the pine forest, with the sun out and blue skies over head its an absolute joy to play. Great condition when we played, super friendly staff and a decent lunch. Will 100% visit again.

Forest and Links. Forest is, yes, a forest course, and links – not a really links, but close. Flat and open with loads of bunkers. A real von Hagge/Rick Baril course. I have played Emporda many times. I prefer to play the Forest, but then it also depend of the weather. If no wind Links is a great co...

One of two courses at Emporda Golf Resort near Girona.

0 Likes

This course is a classic parkland course with narrow tree lined fairways. Some really beautiful holes, but the condition of the course was not as perfect as for example at PGA Catalunya resort which is not far away.

Given the chance to play one round at Emporda, I would choose the Forest over the Links every time.

0 Likes

For me it is a better looking course with so many tree line holes that frame them in a way that I like. Conditioning like the Links course is a little bit of a problem on the course but not to the same degree. As early as the 2nd you have a quality hole, a mid-range par-3 with great bunkering at the...
