About this course
Golf La Roca occupies rolling terrain in La Roca del Vallès, approximately 30 kilometers north of Barcelona in Catalonia. The course opened in 1998 and was designed by Angel Gallardo, a Spanish architect who played on the European Tour and later became known for his work on courses throughout Spain and Portugal. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography of the Vallès Oriental region, incorporating elevation changes and wooded areas characteristic of this transitional zone between the coastal plain and the interior highlands. The design features a mix of open and tree-lined holes that wind through Mediterranean vegetation including pine and oak. Water comes into play on several holes, and the routing makes use of the property's natural contours to create variety in shot requirements. The course measures over 6,000 meters from the back tees and presents a layout that balances strategic interest with playability for different skill levels. La Roca serves as a regional facility within reasonable reach of Barcelona, drawing both local members and visiting golfers exploring courses in the Catalonia area. The club operates as part of the broader golf infrastructure that developed in northeastern Spain during the 1990s expansion period. The setting provides views toward the surrounding Catalan countryside, and the course benefits from the moderate Mediterranean climate that allows for year-round play in this part of Spain.

Getting there
The journey to Golf La Roca begins at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, a thirty-minute drive southwest of the club, though private aviation often routes through Sabadell Airport, which sits even closer to the Vallès Oriental countryside. The route north from Barcelona traces the AP-7 motorway before peeling off into the rolling, pine-studded hills that define this corner of Catalonia, where the urban sprawl of the coast gives way to quieter agricultural valleys and medieval stone villages. As the road climbs gently toward La Roca del Vallès, the landscape opens into broad vistas of the Montseny massif in the distance, and the final approach delivers you to a serene, elevated setting that feels worlds removed from the Mediterranean bustle below.
