Golf de Andratx
Mallorca » Capdepera
A Dan Maples designed course, Capdepera Golf, also known as
Roca Viva, was opened in 1991. It is set in beautiful countryside
and whilst it is surrounded by mountains it also offers some
spectacular views of the Mediterranean. The view as you stand on
the 15th tee and look out over the valley to the Med. is something
special and typifies the attraction of Mallorcan golf courses. The
golf course is divided into two halves: The first nine holes are
flat with long fairways, while the second nine holes start off with
three flat holes before rising into the Artá mountains. There are
six artificial lakes and three of these make their presence felt on
the 5th, 11th and 18th holes. But it is a course which many regard
as the finest and fairest in Mallorca and is a true test for high and
low handicap players.

Mallorca » Andratx
Golf de Andratx at Camp de Mar is one of Mallorca’s newest
courses and was opened in 2000. Magnificently laid out, its design
is credited to the Gleneagles Golf Development. It is a long
course but is well maintained and exceptionally well run. And the
clubhouse is of the highest standard, as one would expect from
such a new course and, like so many Mallorcan golf courses, part
of the course is surrounded by property developments. But the
remainder is set in unspoilt Mallorquin countryside. Good and
accurate driving has never been more of a requisite than it is at
Golf de Andratx.
