Only 20 minutes
west of the city centre is
Masia
Bach Golf Club. It lies in the heart of the beautiful
Alt Penedes countryside, where some of
Catalonia’s
best wine is produced. It’s hard to believe this beautiful
and tranquil setting is close to the hustle and bustle of
Barcelona city. This superb complex hosts a championship quality
golf course designed by
Jose Maria Olazabal, and
another gentler 9 hole course for higher handicap players.
There’s also a very impressive grass driving range,
a huge 3 floor clubhouse with a heated indoor and outdoor
swimming pool, tennis courts, squash, fitness area, sauna
, changing rooms, restaurant and bar. Over two million cubic
metres of earth were removed to shape this demanding American
style golf course. You can see
Olazabal’s influence
on the design, as many holes require pinpoint accuracy. The
course has many hazards, with caverns, ditches and valleys
lurking on most holes to catch errant shots. The spectacular
8th is the signature hole, created by slicing off the edge
of a mountain side, with a lake on the edge of this right
to left dogleg.
Of all the
Barcelona
Golf Courses,
Maisa
Bach is the most flexible in terms of availability
for bookings.
NB: Please note that the course is closed
on Mondays.
