Fred Hawtree’s Forested Challenge. Girona’s Quiet Powerhouse.

Located in Sant Julià de Ramis, just 10 minutes from Girona, Golf Girona is a par-72 woodland course designed by Fred Hawtree — the architect behind Birkdale and St Andrews New. Opened in 1991, this hidden gem blends elevated tees, pine-clad valleys, and dramatic ravines into a layout that’s as scenic as it is strategic.
