Perched high in the Les Gavarres mountain range, Golf Club D'Aro Mas Nou serves up one of the most memorable backdrops on the Costa Brava. Its elevated setting means big, sweeping views across the Girona countryside, with fairways threading through Mediterranean woodland and opening out towards the coastline on clear days.
On the card, it's not a brute by length, but it is a proper test. The terrain does a lot of the talking here, with constant elevation changes and natural contours that put a premium on position. Keep it in play off the tee and you'll give yourself chances. Miss the fairway on the tighter, tree-lined holes and you'll be scrambling. The greens add another layer, too, with plenty of movement that rewards a confident putter and a decent read.
It also works brilliantly as part of a Girona and Costa Brava golf tour. You're within easy reach of PGA Catalunya, a European Tour-tested venue and one of Spain's standout modern layouts, plus the classic links-style feel of Golf Platja de Pals. That mix gives your group variety without the crowds you often find in the Algarve or Costa del Sol.
If you want a scenic, strategic round with plenty to talk about over a post-round drink, D'Aro is a cracking shout and a smart fit for a multi-course itinerary, especially when you want the tee times and logistics handled for you.
