When you travel to Mallorca Spain, the first thing you think of is fun in the sun and beaches. What many people do not realize is that Mallorca is also famous for her golf courses. Mallorca is a Mecca for any golfer, and has more golf course selections than you might expect. What sets Mallorca golf courses apart from others is the fact that they are so scenic and spectacular. Once you have golfed in Mallorca, little else really compares. This golf guide will give you some information about the most popular and beautiful golf courses on the island of Mallorca.
Mallorca Golf Guide Profile - Son Vida Golf Club
Son Vida Golf Club competes rather nicely with the popular Son Vida Beach for a good reason to come to this part of the island. Son Vida Golf Club is a scenic adventure from the opening hole to the last pin. The views of the Sierra Tramuntana would be worth the price of admission without any golf involved at all. Beauty is not all that Son Vida offers, however. The course is absolutely challenging for any level of golfer, and the course is impeccably maintained. It is located very close to Palma de Mallorca and can be a great course for the man that wants to golf whilst his wife or girlfriend shops.
Mallorca Golf Guide Profile - Real Golf Bendinat
Real Golf Bendinat is known for beauty and difficulty. The course is not particularly long in golfing distance, but it is challenging due to the hills and valleys. The course is heavily wooded also, making for plenty of natural obstacles and challenges. It pays to keep the ball in play at Real Golf Bendinat or you might just find yourself searching the wilderness on more than one occasion. This course is very beautiful much like Son Vida, but is less traditional in the way that it plays.
Mallorca Golf Guide Profile - Golf Alcanada
No Mallorca golf guide would be complete without mentioning the wonderful Golf Alcanada. Golf Alcanada is located in the Northern region of Mallorca, and is one of the most breathtaking places on the island. You are right along the edges of the Mediterranean Sea. Playing this course is no vacation however, as they pepper you with constant bunkers, natural obstacles and difficult tee placement. All of the course is top quality and is perfect for the pro or amateur alike.
Mallorca Golf Guide Profile - Vall d'Or Golf
Vall D'Or Golf is like playing two completely different courses in that it is really set up to give you a varied golfing experience. The front nine is incredibly difficult due to long and difficult fairways that are all high in the mountain region. The back nine brings you back down, but does not let up on the challenge. This course is for the advanced player as a rule, but amateurs will enjoy the experience as well. They will, however, likely see an uptick in their score. Vall D'Or Golf is a course that every golfer should experience at least once in their lives, and is worth a trip to Mallorca all by itself.
Mallorca Golf Guide Profile - Son Quint Golf Club
Son Quint is yet another of the fine courses that are a part of the Arabella group of courses. The course is notable for being a bit more traditional in its set up, although the scenery is still quite stunning. The course has been touted as being one of the best golfing experiences for the ‘average golfer’ and with good reason. The course is difficult but still enjoyable for any level of golfer. Son Quint is located just a short distance from the capital Palma de Mallorca.
