On Spain’s Costa Dorada, INFINITUM is quickly growing into one of the driving forces in European golf – and if a trio of stunning courses wasn’t evidence enough, the resort now has the hosting credentials to prove it.
Even before a major rebrand in 2021, the resort had cultivated a reputation as a golf destination like no other. Two 18-hole championship layouts, two of the best golf courses in Spain, have long been drawing eyes, neatly juxtaposed despite their proximity.

“Having Q School here is firstly so important for golf because it means that, following the damage caused by the global pandemic, we are finding some normality in European golf once again,” said Garcia Pascual.
“Our relationship with the DP World Tour has always been very strong, but now it is even stronger. They are also supporting INFINITUM, with the ISPS Handa Championship this year and then extending the agreement to host Q School for another three years.
