History of Diners Club International

Diners Club began its proud history in 1950, all because a man named Frank McNamara had dinner in a New York restaurant but left his cash in another suit, leaving him unable to pay the bill. He resolved never to be embarrassed again and founded Diners Club.

Today, Diners Club International Ltd. is a direct banking and payment services company owned by Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS), one of the most recognized brands in US financial services. We provide a range of payment options, benefits, and exclusive offers—in partnership with leading merchants, restaurants, and service-industry brands around the world. Diners Club membership is for the select global citizen who wants to experience the best the world has to offer.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

As well as playing two world-class golf courses and utilizing the state-of-the-art practice facilities on resort, our guests will be invited to enjoy a range of culinary and cultural experiences for which the area of Catalunya is famous. We will journey beyond the golf courses to enjoy the spectacular foods, wines, and hospitality that are offered in this unique corner of Europe.

Breath-taking Girona

This is truly a city in which you’ll want to get lost. Amble through the cobblestone roads that lead you to stunning medieval architecture, ancient walls, and Roman remains, all on the banks of the Onyar River. This historic getaway is a short drive from the glittering beaches of Costa Brava, and a 40-minute train ride from the bustling metropolis of Barcelona.

The hotel also houses a state of the art Spa and Gym, and offers a range of leisure activities across the resort.

One of the Best Courses in Spain

Ranked number 1 in Spain and number 4 in Europe, this is a tough and challenging golfing masterpiece which is admired by golfers from all over the world. You will have the privilege to play the tournament’s first round on this magnificent course which has hosted the Spanish Open four times and was originally designed with a view to hosting the Ryder Cup.

The Beautiful Course

Camiral Golf & Wellness offers two Championship standard courses on site. The Tour Course is spectacularly beautiful, yet a little kinder than its older brother, The Stadium. The Tour Course features pine trees, lakes, and slightly wider fairways with strategically placed bunkers, making it a worthy challenge and a rising star of this world-leading resort. This course will host the practice and final rounds of the Pro-Am.

Both courses are designed to be played with golf carts.
