Real Club de Golf Cerdaña

Real Club de Golf Cerdaña brings together golf, Pyrenean views and a choice of other sports in Puigcerdà, in Girona province, Catalonia. For golfers including the club in a wider trip, Barcelona is 137 km away. The setting is marked by centuries-old trees and a microclimate of its own.

Founded in 1929, it was the first golf club in Girona province. That history is part of its identity, alongside the work of Javier Arana, the designer named for all four of its courses: Verde, Rojo, Blanco and Rosa.

Understanding the golf offering

The club has 27 holes, with its course offering listed under four names. Verde and Rojo each provide an 18-hole round, while Blanco and Rosa each have nine holes. When considering a visit, the distinction between the longer and shorter rounds is a useful starting point.

The 18-hole courses

Recorrido Verde is an 18-hole, par-71 course designed by Javier Arana. Recorrido Rojo also has 18 holes and is another Arana design. Verde is the only course for which a par is specified in this guide.

The nine-hole courses

Recorrido Blanco and Recorrido Rosa each comprise nine holes, again designed by Arana. These are the shorter options in the club's golf offering, for visitors looking for a round with fewer holes rather than an 18-hole outing.

A Pyrenean setting

Views towards the Pyrenees give the golf its geographical context, while centuries-old trees are another defining feature of the surroundings. The club also has its own microclimate. Together, these characteristics place the emphasis on the setting as well as the golf itself.

For a visitor travelling through Catalonia, Puigcerdà is the town to look for when locating the club. The stated distance from Barcelona provides a reference point for fitting it into a broader itinerary.

Beyond the round

A golf academy and clubhouse form part of the club's facilities, and each has its own entry in this guide. The wider sports complex also includes a swimming pool, tennis, padel and squash.

Golf therefore need not be the only sporting focus of a visit. Alongside the choice of 18-hole and nine-hole rounds, those additional facilities broaden what is available within the same club.
