Here, we take a look at the cream pick of Golf Courses In Majorca.

Golf Park Punitro

The course holds the prestigious distinction of being the first golf course to be designed by the renowned Jack Nicklaus in Majorca. The Golf Park Punitra is a favorite haunt for American golfers who enjoy playing on Nicklaus’ European courses. The course was developed over the years with due care being taken not to disturb the natural vegetation and beauty of the land. The course is an 18-hole par 71 layout and is easily accessible. It features two massive lakes which means that you need to have an accurate game. With fast greens and plenty of challenges in the form of trees, bunkers, and long flower beds, this is certainly one of the most exhilarating golfing experiences you will ever have.

Arabella Golf & Spa Resort

Located in a beautiful location between the Son Vida hills and the capital city, this internationally acclaimed golf hot spot stakes claim to three championship 18-hole courses. The resort comprises of three hotels spread out across the island. The golf courses are in close proximity to each other and there is no trouble switching from one course to another owing to the complimentary shuttle service provided by the hotel every 15 minutes. You can get a discount if you are a guest at one of the hotels.

Marriotts Club Son Antem Golf Resort

The Marriott resort at Son Antem has embraced the popularity of golf with its members by building two 18-hole golf courses. The resort is located in beautiful surroundings with woods, old olive trees and breathtaking views towards the Randa mountain. Along with the courses there is a driving range, pitching and putting area, practice bunkers as well as a one of the biggest golf academies in Europs with experienced PGA professionals.

Remember we have rental deals in Marriott Club Son Antem throughout the year or you can keep coming back year after year when you buy a Marriott Club Son Antem resale.

Son Muntaner

This is probably the crown piece among all the breathtaking golf courses in Majorca. Again, it provides spectacular views of the mountain range and the Bay of Palma. Although the views offered are similar to the Golf Son Vida course, the Son Muntaner is definitely longer and much more challenging. This is the most exclusive golf course on the island. Designed in 2000 by Kurt Rossknecht, the course has been designed in such a way that it is in bloom throughout the year. The Son Muntaner holds the distinction of being one of the few golf courses on the island to hold two significant certificates for being environment friendly. Home to a wide variety of ancient trees, one of the chief attractions at the Son Muntaner is the oldest olive tree on the island, which is more than a thousand years old and has been named the “Sa Capitana.”

Son Quint

Son Quint is one of the more recent additions to Majorca’s golfing culture. Located in close proximity to the Son Vida and Son Muntaner courses, the Son Quint stakes claim to a beautiful spot that overlooks the Bay of Palma. The golf course here presents a wide array of challenges to even experienced golfers in the form of strategically placed bunkers, huge lakes, and fast Bent Grass greens. All withstanding, the course offers 4 different tee positions, which allows everybody to have a nice time at their game. The fairways are covered with Bermuda Princess grass, which is the standard for most internationally acclaimed golf courses situated in hot temperature zones. The course’s highlight is obviously the eighth tee which offers a spectacular view of the Palma Cathedral

These are just some of the golf courses in Majorca that stand out among the scores in Majorica. The island has been witness to a golf revolution in recent times with hundreds of golf aficionados flocking over every year. We can certainly expect a lot more development in this sector in the coming years.
