The Open Course at Real Club de Golf El Prat sits in the Vallès region northwest of Barcelona, near the town of Terrassa. Designed by Greg Norman and opened in 1999, it represents a departure from the club's original layouts, which date to 1954 and were designed by Javier Arana. The Norman design occupies flatter terrain than the club's older courses and incorporates a more modern, strategic style with wide fairways, large undulating greens, and an emphasis on positioning over pure length. The routing moves through relatively open landscape with scattered pines and views toward the Montserrat mountain range in the distance. Water features prominently on several holes, and the bunkering follows Norman's characteristic style—expansive, often with steep faces and irregular shapes that frame landing areas and greenside approaches. The course demands thoughtful club selection and course management, rewarding players who can work the ball and avoid the more penal hazards. Real Club de Golf El Prat has hosted multiple professional events, including Spanish Open championships and Ladies European Tour tournaments. The club's three courses—the Open, the Blue (Azul), and the Yellow (Amarillo), the latter two being Arana's original designs—make it one of the more significant golf facilities in Catalonia. The Open Course serves as the championship layout, offering a contrast in philosophy and playing character to the club's classic Spanish parkland courses while maintaining the club's reputation as a serious golfing destination near Barcelona.
