The experience
Golf on the Ignatian Way
The 2027 Manresa Cup takes place in and around Catalonia, Spain. Compete with fellow Jesuit and local teams, then retrace the footsteps of St. Ignatius of Loyola as described in his autobiography: from the Abbey of Montserrat, where he laid down his sword, to the cave in Manresa where he shaped the Spiritual Exercises.
Add Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, Sagrada Familia and the Mediterranean, and you get a golf and cultural trip your students will never forget.
