Golf Costa Brava
Situated between mountains and sea, Golf Costa Brava is not only a sporting but also a social venue. Hamilton Stutt, founding member of the British Association of Golf Course Architects (together with the aforementioned F.W. Hawtree and C.K. Cotton), oversaw designing and building this enclave with 27 holes and 2 courses that skirt its autochthonous nature formed by majestic cork oaks and pines hundreds of years old.

In the heart of the Gavarres Natural Park, 10 minutes by car from Platja d'Aro, is Golf D'Aro - Mas Nou, another of the oldest courses on the Costa Brava. It was designed in 1992 by Ramón Espinosa, a renowned architect in the world of golf, having served as president of the European Society of Golf Architects. His projects bear his stamp, which is based firstly on thinking of the players and secondly on sustainability. So much so that Golf d'Aro is the sixth golf course to obtain Geo Certification in Spain.
