Pack Son Muntaner & Son Vida (1 Round at Son Muntaner & 1 Round at Son Vida)
Son Muntaner Golf
Son Muntaner Golf is a player’s course, and from the 1st hole you’re confronted by difficult approach shots over water to bunkered greens. A slithering lake runs the length of the 2nd and 3rd holes, testing your accuracy on each shot.
Broad fairways and large greens, capable of having several different pin positions, mean high handicappers can play alongside pros. That said, taking 3 attempts to sink a putt can become the norm if you’re not careful, with the omnipresent wind a distinctive feature of the course.
Son Muntaner boasts Mallorca’s oldest olive tree – “Sa Capitana” is said to be 1,000 years old. It stands near the 15th tee, so do try to avoid belting it with a golf ball!
The joy of playing in Son Muntaner golf course not only lies in having to shape the ball off the tee to get the ideal position for your second shot, but also in the size of the greens which offer the opportunity for varied pin positions, making the course play differently every day.
Pack Son Muntaner & Son Quint (1 Round at Son Muntaner & 1 Round at Son Quint)
Son Quint Golf
Son Quint Golf it is an undulating, rather than hilly, golf course that is forgiving for the less talented but still a tough challenge for those trying to beat par. The lake on the par 3 12th hole is particularly daunting. The greens are fast and will get even quicker as the cut level is reduced.
Thanks to its elevated position Son Quint has an amazing view of the Palma area, and the sparkling sea of the bay of Palma. The well-placed bunkers will challenge even experienced golfers, and four different tee-box positions enable a variety of play.
The grass at Son Quint is a dense and an intensely green color, even in the high summer temperatures, which is due to Ramon Espinosa’s choice of the fine “Princess” type of grass.
Pack Son Vida & Son Quint (1 Round at Son Vida & 1 Round at Son Quint)
Son Vida Golf
Son Vida Golf is the Mallorca’s first and most celebrated course, the tree lined fairways offer breathtaking views of the spectacular surroundings and the bay of Palma.
The course is both undulated and not, as it ranges from hilly regions on the front nine to flat areas on the back nine. The entire course is surrounded by old and magnificently tall trees, which pose not insignificant problems to all golfers. The long 17th, for instance, is an extremely difficult hole, on which par is always a good score.
Considered a short golf course by modern standards, Son Vida it is known for its sweeping doglegs and its dramatic closing hole – a par 5 where a second shot over water appeals to the gambler in everyone.
