Top 100 Golf Courses of the World ranks European Tour venue third in Continental Europe Camiral Resort has been crowned Spain’s number one golf course in an influential new ranking of European courses.
The Stadium Course at Camiral Resort was also ranked third in the league table of Continental European courses, published by the www.top100courses.co.uk website, one of only two Spanish clubs featured in the top 20.
“Although the southern Costas continue to be popular for the weather, those in search of the Best Spanish course should head to Barcelona and the Costa Brava region,” commented Top100courses.co.uk editor Keith Baxter.
“The Stadium Course at Camiral Resort has finally knocked Valderrama from the Spanish top spot.” The accolade is just one of a series of awards for Camiral Resort, a member of the European Tour Courses network:
- World Top 100 Golf Courses 2011 – Golf World

Andy Newmarch added: “It was a tough decision, however, the growth in popularity of the resort and its commitment to provide the very best facilities were strong assets” . “The improvements Camiral Resort has made year-on-year to its practice and training facilities have definitely taken it to the next level – and that is recognised in our rankings.”
Andy Newmarch commented that European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage wouldn’t have returned to the same venue for four successive year if it didn’t provide the best facilities. And with European Tour officials and players agreeing Camiral Resort’s new short game area and upgraded driving are among the best practice facilities in Europe, there is strong evidence to support its new classification.
Julio Delgado, Camiral Resort Chief Executive, said: “We really couldn’t have asked for anything better to start 2012. Everyone here is delighted with this achievement, which celebrates our efforts in striving to offer a truly outstanding and unique golf experience.” He added: “Costa Brava is blessed with great golf courses and it is heartening to see an increasing number of them being recognised in influential rankings and becoming top European contenders.”
National Geographic Traveler recently voted Costa Brava among its best destinations in the world to visit in 2012, based on the region’s rich heritage, fantastic sceneray and world-class gastronomy.
