5 of the Best Courses on a Mallorca Golf Holiday

Thursday, November 26th, 2009 at 2:52 am

Mallorca has transformed in recent years to become one of the best new golfing hotspots in Europe. Mallorca golf holidays are really growing in popularity thanks to the
recently-built top-quality courses, fine Mediterranean food, the fine weather and a heavy investment in re-establishing the island as the ideal escape for middle-class Europe. Whether you’re going for golf, golf, golf or if you fancy a top-class hotel, you’ll have a big smile on your face. If you’re planning on a golf break in Mallorca, these are the 5 courses you simply must pay a visit to:

Canyamel Golf

This is one of those golf courses which is a genuine joy to play from the first hole to the last. It’s a very pretty set-up and boasts stunning views – by the fourth hole you can see over the edge of a cliff into the brilliant blue waters beyond. The actual design is tricky so you’ll need to think off the tee and be happy to settle for 36 points. Definitely one to play on a golf break in Mallorca.

Club De Golf

Scoring an impressive 17/20 in the Peugeot Golf Guide, this Trent Jones Jr design offers coastal views along with a fine game of golf. Long holes and some steep slopes provide the core of the challenge so hit your drives to the right spot and always hit longer than you think necessary. A very nice course with an authentic “Spanish” feel to it.
Golf in Majorca doesn’t come much better than this.

Golf Park Mallorca

One of the more recent additions to Mallorca’s golf courses, this Jack Nicklaus-design has swiftly joined the ranks of Europe’s best. You’ll need to be accurate to score well, and approach shots require special concentration to deal with the hallmark Nicklaus hazards – bunkers, water and huge greens. Already a clients’ favourite and arguably the final piece in the Mallorcan golf jigsaw…There is now no reason not to go on
a Mallorca golf break.

Pula Golf

Host to the Mallorcan Open and with a mountain backdrop, this is a course that combines good looks with an enjoyable challenge. In fact, it’s one of the most difficult in Mallorca especially when the wind picks up, and matching the Par of 70 is a tough task…Particularly off the back tees at 6,676 yards length.

Son Vida

In the shadow of Son Vida’s castle, this is Mallorca’s oldest course and it has aged well with the occasional tweak to the excellent original Fred Hawtree design. Renowned for its great greens, it’s also a very lovely walk with a super lunch on offer too. However, make sure you don’t get lulled into a false sense of security because the back nine can bite and golf balls are not cheap!

The sun, the fine sea food and the splendid golf make golf breaks in Mallorca a real treat. Plus, in the golfing peak months of September through to June, you’ll see this beautiful island at is very best. Classy sunshine golf.
