Son Vida
Mallorca » Son Vida
Son Vida is the oldest golf course in Mallorca . Designed by Fred Hawtree , it was opened by Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1964 and is now the most prestigious golf course in Mallorca as it is set amongst some of the most luxurious properties on the island . Countless almond , carob , pine and palm trees can be found around the course which has undergone total renovation after being closed throughout the year 2001 . To treat yourself to that bit of luxury then why not combine a round or two at Son Vida with a stay at either the Arabella Sheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida or the Hotel Son Vida , both of which are five star hotels . Clients of these two hotels can exclusively use the adjacent Son Muntaner course .
Mallorca » Son Quint
Arabella Son Quint opened in September 2007 and is the third course in the Arabella group . It is undulating , rather than hilly , and the course is forgiving for the less talented but still a tough challenge for those trying to beat par . The lake on the par-3 12th is particularly daunting . The greens are fast and will get even quicker as the cut level is reduced . The course entrance is on the right before entering the Son Vida urbanisation in Palma de Mallorca .
Mallorca » Son Muntaner
Son Muntaner is a par 72 course measuring 6,266 metres from the back tees . Son Muntaner was opened in March 2000 and holds two important environment friendly certificates . It was designed by Kurt Rossknecht and is a great championship course surrounded by majestic native vegetation . It is probably Mallorca`s most exclusive course and the green fees reflect this fact . There also is a golf school at Son Muntaner for those wanting to sharpen up .
Mallorca » Son Servera
The second oldest golf course in Mallorca , Son Servera was opened in 1967 and was designed by John Harris . This 18-hole course offers an enjoyable test for all , with tees measuring a pleasant 5844m men / 4937m ladies . It is a challenging golf course and demands accuracy off the tee as most of the fairways are narrow and tree lined . It also calls for the ability to read greens well as they are very fast at times . The opening hole can often decide how the rest of your round is going to go ... the second shot to the green is blind and the result of that shot can often decide whether it makes or breaks your round . Surrounded by mountains it is tucked away in a quiet backwater at Costa de los Pinos but is only minutes away from the resorts of Cala Bona and Cala Millor . Situated close to the sea it is nevertheless , set in a delightfully peaceful part of the island .
