Golf Son Gual
Mallorca » Maioris
Golf Maioris is a championship standard course that was opened
in 2006. It is set amongst the classic Mallorcan landscape of pine,
carob and olive trees, and offers a stern challenge to any golfer -
four lakes and two “island” greens see to that! After a fairly easy
par four to start the second drive has to miss the large pine trees
in the centre of the fairway and then players have to negotiate a
challenging green. The par-5 4th is one of the “island” greens, and
judging distance accurately is the key to this great hole. Another
notable hole is the par-3 13th. It is only 142 metres (yellow tees)
but the green is surrounded on three sides by water. Overall
an enjoyable course for players of all standards that also has a
superb clubhouse and bar at the 19th.
Mallorca » Puntiro
Golf Park Mallorca Puntiro is part of the Golf Park Entertainment
Group which was founded in 1997. This is their third course,
following ones in Madrid and Marbella. A Jack Nicklaus designed
course, it takes wonderful advantage of the natural terrain this
part of Mallorca offers. It is situated just outside Palma on the
road to Sineu, 5 kms after the village of Son Ferriol. There is a 240
yard driving range with 42 practice bays (14 covered). There is also
a coaching studio where you can sit and watch a video of your
game. The Golf Academy benefits from the Jack Nicklaus teaching
technique and all instructors have undergone a three month
course of instruction.
Mallorca » Son Gual
Golf Son Gual opened in October 2007 and was the dawning of a
dream that began in 1995 to design and lay out a high quality golf
course. It is set in the grounds of the Finca Son Gual near to the
village of Sant Jordi, and in the “Valley of a Thousand Windmills”.
The course was designed by the former German amateur
champion, Thomas Himmel and it boasts some wonderful bunkers
and more than 1,000 olive trees. There are plans to add a second
9-hole course at some later date.
