Golf Lleida & Country Club is an 18-hole course measuring 6,195 metres to a par of 72, located 11 kilometres west of the city of Lleida in the municipality of Raimat, in Catalonia, close to the border with Aragon. The club was established in 1992 by the Raventós Espona family as the centrepiece of a planned sports and residential complex - the first golf course within 100 kilometres of Lleida, which until then had no local course despite a sizeable golfing community. The first nine holes were designed by the Pepín Rivero architecture studio and inaugurated in April 1994, with the second nine developed by a team from the Higher Technical School of Agrarian Engineering of Lleida and completed in 2000.

The course is laid out on two distinct levels: holes 1 to 5 occupy the flat ground adjacent to the clubhouse, while holes 6 to 18 descend into and run through a valley below. The surrounding landscape is a striking mix of vineyards, fruit trees, oak and pine woodland, with views extending to the Aragonese plains and the pre-Pyrenean foothills. The Pepín Rivero design philosophy emphasised wide, flexible fairways suited to all abilities, with water hazards on selected holes providing strategic interest without making the course prohibitively demanding. The signature hole is the par-3 6th, which plays 158 metres from tee to green across a 50-metre drop in elevation - one of the most dramatic one-shot holes in Catalonia.

The course has no significant professional tournament history but has produced several players who have progressed to the European Tour circuit. In 2023 the facility transitioned to private management under the Golf Lleida & Country Club brand, replacing the former Raimat Golf Club identity.
