A brief historical review…
Club de Golf Llavaneras is a family private Club, founded in 1945. In its beginnings, it was a course of only 3 holes with sand greens and a driving range that allowed the Founding Members to practice golf during their summer holidays. At the beginning of the 1949 the Club was a 9-hole course with grass greens, the first ones in Catalonia. F.W. Hawtree, British designer
of recognized international prestige. In the late 1980’s, the Club expanded its course to 18 holes with Par 68 and in 2001 modified it giving rise to the current design, with a Par 70, with its 5,028 meters long (from white bars), with narrow but well-defined fairways, medium-sized greens protected by bunkers, and where a good amount of water is present. All this is settled on 34 hectares of gentle ground. Golf course…. The initial work was by British architect F.W. Hawtree, and was later expanded by Ramón Espinosa, Magí Sardà and Alfonso Vidaor, resulting in a high-quality, strategic, challenging and entertaining golf. A detail that will catch the player's eye is the layout of the buggy paths, intelligently integrated, in perfect harmony with the vegetation that surrounds the fairways. The course is appreciated for its natural beauty and its proximity to the sea, but also for being suitable for all kinds of players. It is like a park that takes advantage of uneven ground and undulating greens, where precision predominates, especially in the short game, and which requires the odd powerful shot. If we had to choose one hole as the most beautiful in the Club de Golf Llavaneras, the 17th ‘El Mirador’ would be the one. Voted the best hole 17 in Catalonia, it is a par 4 with a length of 258 metres, which is a great challenge for the player. After enjoying the formidable views from the tee, reaching its small green in one shot is not impossible, but if you don’t reach it, the fall of the fairway to the right and the narrow ante-green mean that you need to be pretty accurate. Club House and services…. The clubhouse has a very friendly atmosphere, as it is more like a private home with all the comforts, rather than a classic members' club. Its large terrace is a balcony that offers fantastic views of the coast, as well as a perfect view of the course. One of the club's attractions is the restaurant. This offers members and visitors the chance to enjoy a gastronomic experience made with top quality products, with the best fish and seafood of the area, for an exceptional price. All this surrounded by a pleasant, intimate and family atmosphere. If you book a table, you’ll find out why this is considered one of the best restaurants on the golf courses in Catalonia. The club has a driving range; locker rooms for visitors; bar-snack; restaurant; rental of golf clubs, buggies and trolleys; pro shop; caddy; golf lessons; gym and physiotherapy. It also has private meeting rooms, a games room for kids and different living areas, not to mention its wonderful terrace. Stay & Play possibilities…
