ROC 3 | Golf Pitch & Putt

ROC 3 | Golf Pitch & Putt is in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia. For golfers including pitch and putt in their visit to the region, it offers an 18-hole course alongside practice areas, a bar and a restaurant.

Founded in 1994, ROC 3 was one of Catalonia’s first pitch-and-putt courses. That early place in the development of the format is part of its identity, while its weekly competitions provide another reason to take note of the club when planning time for golf.

The course and its origins

Designed by Laureano Nomen, the ROC 3 course opened in 1994, the year the club was founded. Its 18 holes are dedicated to pitch and putt, so this is the format to keep in mind when deciding whether to include it in a golfing itinerary.

The course is the main focus of a visit, but it is not the only way to spend time at the club. Golfers can also make use of the practice areas, with facilities covering both the long game and the short game.

Space to practise

Having areas for both aspects of practice gives the club a role beyond playing a round. A visit can be centred on working on the long game or short game, rather than on the 18-hole course itself.

For a golfer travelling with practice as well as play in mind, that distinction is useful: ROC 3 brings a pitch-and-putt layout and separate practice provision together at the same club. The bar and restaurant add dining options to those golfing facilities.

Tuesday and Thursday competitions

ROC 3 organises individual competitions on Tuesdays and fourball competitions on Thursdays. These are the two weekday fixtures to bear in mind if competition golf is part of your plans.

• Tuesday: individual competition.
• Thursday: fourball competition.

The days have different formats, so the choice is not simply between two dates for the same type of event.

Bar and restaurant

A bar and restaurant complete the facilities at ROC 3. Alongside the course and practice areas, they give visitors a place to include food or a drink in their time at this Santa Coloma de Cervelló club.
