A pitch and putt course is only <strong>9 holes<\/strong>, ranging from 60 yards to 100 yards per hole. This reduces the amount of time it takes to play 9 holes and makes it a lot easier. There is no teeing up and driving the ball, hints why the course is at most 100 yards. <strong>Pitching<\/strong> is where you use a sand wedge or pitching wedge to get the ball up onto the green where the hole is. Once the ball is on the green, the player putts the ball into the hole. Depending on the <strong>location<\/strong>, and whether\u00a0you have the time or energy, an 18 hole course may be available. Pitch and putt is a great way to teach young ones the most important part of golf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are a few locations that offer a <strong>pitch and putt course in Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/family-golf\/#Golf_can_Drago\" title=\"Golf can Drag\u00f3\">Golf can Drag\u00f3<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/family-golf\/#Golf_Montjuic\" title=\"Golf Montju\u00efc\">Golf Montju\u00efc<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golf_can_Drago\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Golf can Drag\u00f3<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Golf-Can-Drago\/1443977005837611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Golf can Drag\u00f3<\/a> is located in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona. It is close to the metro station red line L1 Fabra i Puig. This location offers a recently renovated 9 hole Irish style pitch and putt course that complies with European championship measurements. The course even features lights at night so you can play until 9 pm; 11 pm on summer nights. It has 12 practice cages where you can <strong>practice<\/strong>\u00a0with any golf club, including a driver. If there is a family member that isn\u2019t interested in playing, Golf can Drag\u00f3 is located directly next to a mall, restaurants, and bars. The price is \u20ac9 for 9 holes and \u20ac12 for 18. The clubs are free to rent and the <strong>parking is free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golf_Montjuic\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Golf Montju\u00efc<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_64914\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pitch-and-putt-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-64914\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64914\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pitch-and-putt-3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo credit: The MisAdventures of Maja via Visualhunt.com \/ CC BY\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/misadventuresofmaja\/23432593600\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The MisAdventures of Maja<\/a> via <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\">Visualhunt.com<\/span> \/ <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\">CC BY<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Golf Montjuic<\/a> is not a pitch and putt course, per say, but they do have a 2-story range where you can practice your pitching, and a putting green to practice your putting. They offer <strong>golf lessons<\/strong> for children and adults. The price is only \u20ac4 for the putting green. I do not have information on whether\u00a0that includes the range; I would think not. If the kids are not interested in golf, they have a playground where they can wear themselves out. Not to mention they have a pool (you have to be a member to use), paddle tennis courts, a bar, restaurant, 11 tennis courts, squash court, and a gym.
