Are golf buggies included in Costa Daurada?
Golf buggies are not automatically included within your Costa Daurada golf holiday package, however they can easily be added on and paid for either in advance or locally at the course. Whilst buggies are optional on many courses, we would particularly recommend them at Infinitum Hills and Lakes, where the elevation changes and distances between greens and tees make a buggy worthwhile for a comfortable and enjoyable round.

How far in advance is recommended to book a golf trip to Costa Daurada?
For couples and groups of four, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is generally okay for securing availability and pricing. For larger groups where preferred tee times are important, we would always recommend booking as early as possible to guarantee the slots that work best for your group. As with all golf holidays, the earlier you book, the more choice you have.
When is considered “busy” season in Costa Daurada?
The busiest months in Costa Daurada tend to fall in May to June and September, when the destination benefits from a crossover of golf and leisure tourism. During these months the courses are in great condition and the resorts are busy, so we would always recommend securing your booking early if you are planning to travel in these popular periods.
What is the most popular golf holiday resort area in Costa Daurada?
Salou is a popular base for golf in Costa Daurada, with the greatest concentration of golf courses and hotels. For those seeking something a little more upmarket and refined, the beautiful town of Cambrils offers a more boutique alternative, whilst keeping you within easy reach of all the golf courses the destination has to offer.
When is the best value time of year to travel to Costa Daurada for a golf trip?
For the best combination of favourable golfing weather and value, April to May and September to October are hard to beat. Those looking for the most budget friendly option should also consider March or November, when prices are particularly favourable. One thing to bear in mind is that these months sit slightly outside the traditional golf season, so weather can be a little more unpredictable.
What are the best golf courses in Costa Daurada?
Infinitum Hills and Infinitum Lakes are standout championship experiences, each offering a completely different challenge, set against a spectacular backdrop. For a more traditional Spanish golf experience, Costa Daurada Golf Club is a great option.
