GOLF GIRONA is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed
by the prestigious English architect F.W. Hawtree, seeded
entirely with Penncross, the best quality
grass for playing golf.
A course that is entirely adapted to its natural surroundings,
without any antennas, power lines or highways crossing
it, featuring an advanced sprinkling
system using regenerated water from Girona's purification plant, and
meeting the most up-to-date environmental standards.
The top nine holes are extremely competitive – their
design requires players to use all the clubs in their bags.
The bottom nine are simply spectacular,
with all the tees set atop walls built with Girona stone, offering impressive
panoramic views of the fairways. It is a true pleasure to follow the flight
of the ball towards its destination, and encourages many players to take
out their woods. When Mr. Hawtree designed this part of
the course, he probably
wanted players to feel as good as possible after having completed the rigorous
top nine.
The design is perfectly adapted to the lie of the land,
achieving a course that is suitable for golfers of all
levels. |
