Arabella Son Vida Son Gual
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.
Arabella 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.
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.
Arabella 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.
