The Real Club de Golf El Prat has once again been selected to host a competition of the LET Access Series and the Santander Golf Tour. Together with the Real Club de Golf La Peñaza, they are the only golf courses in Spain to organize a tournament for the European circuit that brings great golfers not only from Europe but from the world. Under the name of Santander Golf Tour Barcelona, the tournament will be played from October 20 to 22 at the Real Club de Golf El Prat and will be the final of the circuit.

The RCGEP Pink Golf Course, the favourite of its designer Greg Norman, is prepared to offer to players greens that are as demanding as fun, very interesting and full of challenges.

In the first nine holes, the fairways are narrower and delimited by forest where the driver is not always the best option. Even so, the golf course is long and welcomes large and fast greens. The second round is demanding and requires a good strategy from the starting tee. On the other hand, recoveries will be the key for making a good result.

The Pink Golf Course is a very good choice for this event because it is one of the professional players’ favourites and this year some of the best golfers of the moment will participate.

The tournament will be the grand finale of the LET Access Series and offer a total of thirty-five thousand euros to be distributed among the players who manage to make the cut. In 2019, the Swedish Johanna Gustavsson was the champion of the event.

Tee Times Golf Agency congratulates the Royal Club de Golf El Prat for being chosen again for this prestigious tournament. Both of its Pink & Yellow championship golf courses are of unparalleled quality and with very attractive prices. Can be played in individual 18-holes rounds with or without buggy or included in the highly requested Barcelona Golf Passport for 3 or 5 rounds, to choose between Llavaneras Golf Course, Montanya Golf Course, Terramar Golf Course, Vallromanes Golf Course, Club Golf Barcelona.

To take part of this or other tournaments or just for a relaxing golf break, the near by hotels, Camiral at PGA Catalunya *****, Double Tree by Hilton Barcelona **** and Hotel Sant Cugat ****, as well as its San Cugat Golf Course will make the most memorable golf holidays.

Finally, Marta Figueras-Dotti, pioneer as a professional golf player, and member of the Board of the Ladies European Tour, in her role as ambassador of the circuit and on behalf of all the Spanish professional players, thanked Banco Santander in the first place for maintaining and strengthen your support for professional female golf, also to the golf courses, which give the opportunity to promising youngsters to compete in some of the best venues in this country. “One of the things that the players have asked me is that the golf courses were more demanding at the sport level. In this sense I am convinced that we will not have any problem, both for the excellent level of the chosen courses and for going hand in hand with Deporte & Business“.

On a personal level, Figueras-Dotti was very excited about the idea of spreading this great circuit as an ambassador, both nationally and internationally. Marta has wanted to strengthen and perpetuate the golf legacy of Emma Villacieros, recently deceased: “This circuit arrives at a very special moment. As you all know a few weeks ago, Emma Villacieros died. She was my captain since she was 12 years old, she was my president … I think she has been a spectacular person, and what she has done for women’s golf in this country can not be compared with anything. It helped me a lot, it was very influential, and it helped me get there in my career. We owe him a lot, and I concretely very much. She was a very strong woman, very powerful and had a lot of genius. And as a result of this we have thought that in each golf course we are going to play we will plant an oak tree as a symbol of Emma’s strength and power. The symbol will reflect those ideas, the resources, the vitality, the energy and the passion that Emma had for this sport. And in name and in recognition of what this woman has done for me, I want to give at the end of the circuit a prize to the winner of the Santander ranking. I will donate a € 5,000 prize on behalf of Emma Villacieros.”

The Santander Golf Tour will have its own app and website: www.santandergolftour.eu. Likewise, it will be broadcasted through multiple channels, and for the first time it will be retransmitted through Twitter.
