Mallorca Golf
 Golf
in Mallorca on the Balearic Islands has a presence since 1964 with the
opening of the Son Vida Golf Club next to Palma. Golfers can choose from
over 18 golf courses at Mallorca which are all well served with an autopista
system stretching from the Palma de Mallorca airport to Palmanova. With the all year round weather no
wonder it has become one of the top destinations for a golfing holiday!!
Below are a few of the courses in more detail! Click on the map for a larger
map with the locations of the golf courses on Mallorca.
Alcanada Golf
Club de Golf Alcanada opened on October 1st 2003 this is the nearest
thing to a links course on the island. When Robert Trent Jones designed this
course his philosophy was " easy bogeys and difficult pars" and without
doubt he succeeded. Not a course for beginners, but the reasonably confident
golfer will appreciate his skill in creating a hard but fair 18 holes.

Andratx Golf
The Andratx course at Camp de Mar is Mallorca's newest course and was
opened in 2000. Magnificently laid out, its design is credited to the
Gleneagles Golf Development and Rodney Barr. It is a long course but is well
maintained and exceptionally well run. There are more than 60 bunkers on the
course and them, along with the seven lakes and tricky narrow fairways add
to the severity of a beautiful, if not challenging golf course. Good and
accurate driving has never been more of a requisite than it is at Golf de
Andratx.
The Royal Dorint Hotel, which is adjacent to the 18th green, offers the
best in five star luxury and the clubhouse is of the highest standard, as
one would expect from such a new course and, like so many Mallorcan courses,
part of the course is surrounded by property developments. But the remainder
is set in unspoilt Mallorquin countryside.

Bendinat Golf
Real Golf de Bendinat Course - The original Bendinat 9-hole course,
designed by Martin Hawtree, opened in 1986. The second nine holes were added
in 1996.
Close to the city of Palma, Bendinat is in the Calvia municipality and is
set in a valley. Many of the tees are elevated, and most of the fairways are
tree lined and have severe slopes. The difficult greens then add to the
challenge the Bendinat course offers. The undulating and varying terrain
gives the golfer the opportunity to use all 14 clubs in his bag (the
maximum!). The views over the Bay of Palma from the course are spectacular
to say the least and the flora and wildlife around the course are a joy to
see.

Canyamel Golf
The Canyamel Golf course opened in 1989 and its 6,000 metres offers a
hilly front nine holes and a slightly longer and flat back nine - but a lot
of water makes up for its flatness and is a real test of any player's
ability. Set in a small valley, the natural terrain was perfect for
designing a golf course, which is just what designer José Gancedo did. The
view of the mountains on the inward nine make a spectacular backdrop to a
course that is set in an unspoilt part of Mallorca, and, being close to the
sea, some of the outward holes offer great views of the Mediterranean. From
the 5th tee you can see Menorca on a clear day.
A well maintained course with exceptionally well kept greens, many of the
fairways are wide, thus giving the high handicap players chance to make
amends for wayward tee shots. Many of the natural old stone walls have been
left intact around the course and one of the best known landmarks on all of
the Mallorcan golf courses is the stone house in the middle of the 9th
fairway...

Capdepera Golf
The Capdepera Golf Course - A Dan Maples designed course, Capdepera, 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.

Pollensa Golf Mallorca
The Pollensa Golf Course is characterised by rolling terrain with great
view of the surrounding hills and the sea. The land is undulating with olive
trees, lakes, stone walls.
The nine hole course has a clubhouse, driving range, buggy hire, electric
trolleys, pitching green, putting green, practice bunker, golf lessons,
pro-shop and a restaurant.

Holes: 9
Metres: 5116m/5595yd
Poniente Golf
Golf de Poniente is one of Mallorca's oldest courses, the John Harris
course was opened in 1978 and is a well designed course that even the best
of players find it hard to beat at times, but it remains a tough but fair
course. The views from the 8th, and 16th holes are exhilarating and make you
appreciate the beauty of this course, and it is hard to believe that you are
only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the thriving resort of
Magalluf.
The wide fairways are a feature of Poniente, but don't be fooled into
thinking that makes the course any easier; they don't, because many slope
away unsuspectingly. The large greens are also devious at times. But the
main hazards on this course are the many trees which line the fairways and
have been home to many wayward tee shots. The 10th hole is probably one of
the best golf holes in Mallorca. Stroke index 1, it does not appear that
hard, but out of bounds on the right and a lot of water to negotiate make it
a great hole to achieve your par on.

Pula Golf Club
The Pula Golf Course is graced by stars such as Claudia Schiffer on a
regular basis, with pictures of the celebrity tournaments very much
prominent at the club. Therefore, green fees are a bit expensive as compared
to the decidedly average course which has rolling terrain tightened by the
presence of several ponds and views of the Mediterranean sea.
The S'Era de Pula restaurant is one of the most renowned on the island.

signposts on the road from Son Servera to Capdepera.
