PGA Catalunya Resort scores winning goal with FC Barcelona package
Play the World Top 100 Stadium Course – and then take your seat at The Camp Nou
(Girona, Spain – September 27, 2010) PGA Catalunya Resort has teamed up with FC Barcelona and the Silken Park Hotel San Jorge on the cosmopolitan Costa Brava to offer exclusive Golf & Football packages.
The special deals will enable golfers to play the unforgettable World Top 100 Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya Resort, before heading into the city to watch FC Barcelona, one of the world’s most exciting football teams, at The Camp Nou, Europe’s largest stadium.
Golf and accommodation packages start from €330 per person (excludes flights and transportation, based on two people sharing a room) with the football ticket supplement ranging from €69-156, depending on the match, plus €15 per ticket handling fee. Packages are available throughout the football season, September 2010 to May 2011.
Included are three-nights’ bed and breakfast, plus a welcome gourmet dinner on the first night, at the four-star Silken Park Hotel San Jorge overlooking the Mediterranean at Platja D’Aro, one of the best loved hotels on the iconic Costa Brava. Also included are two rounds of golf at PGA Catalunya Resort, one each on the acclaimed Stadium Course and Tour Course.
Visitors can extend their stay for as little as €99, including an additional round of golf, and indulge in the hotel’s luxurious spa facilities for as little as €6 per person per day. There is no supplement charged for weekend or bank holiday breaks.
“If golf and football are your passions, this is the ultimate European breakaway package and sporting experience,” said PGA Catalunya Resort CEO, Billy O’Sullivan. “The Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya Resort was originally built to host a Ryder Cup and is immensely impressive, as is The Tour Course, which will co-host European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage in December. Of course, The Camp Nou needs no introduction – it is a fortress and the home of one of the greatest football teams in the world, FC Barcelona.
“We wanted to give golfers the opportunity to play on a world-class course – one of only two in Spain ranked among the World’s Top 100 courses – but add an exciting and memorable twist,” continued Billy O’Sullivan. “One thing I would advise, to avoid disappointment, is to book in advance – at least three months – to guarantee selected FC Barcelona match dates. As you would expect, tickets sell fast.”
