GIRONA, Spain -- PGA Catalunya Resort, Barcelona, has opened new, upgraded practice facilities in time for the European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage.
The impressive new complex includes a 2,000 square-metre putting green and chipping area, with five bunkers each containing different sand types (Augusta, St Andrews, Hawaii volcanic, PGA Catalunya Stadium Course sand bunker and Pebble Beach). The area also includes a PGA Catalunya Tour Course grass bunker for practicing.
The driving range has also been upgraded with a new private tee for groups, target greens, bunkers and distance markers. The new upgrades feature four greens with different grasses - bermuda, bent, paspalum and poa.
The Finnish national team have already visited the European Tour Destination for their first winter training session, and will soon be followed by Norway's elite amateurs.
