Santa Ponsa

An American-design with six lakes and large greens.

From the back tees the fairways appear narrow, but play to yourstrengths and you will enjoy this classy test. The Signature hole isthe 15th Par-3 where the rocky backdrop is offset by purple floraand rough grasses...Magnificent. 48 miles east of Palma.

CREME DE LA CREME

Without doubt one of the best new courses inEurope and destined to become famous.

The owner wanted to ensure that golfers played the best courseon the island and in the best condition...One can only agree.

The greens are like billiard tables and the fabulous fairways arebroken up with extensive bunkering, lakes, waterfalls and evenvineyards. There are a number of memorable holes, the Par-35th and the nerve-jangling 18th being the pick. The practicefacilities and clubhouse are first class. Eight miles from Palma.

A great Trent Jones Jr design in the north-eastof the island, with stunning views out to sea.

This wonderfully-maintained course allows you to open yourshoulders but stray off-line and the rough and streams will soonpenalise you. Some of the holes are fairly long and there are afew steep slopes so you’ll need to be on your game to score wellhere. Thoroughly recommended. 38 miles north-east of Palma.

AlcanadaPar 72. 6768 yards. Slope 128.n Immaculate conditionn Super viewsn 17/20 in Peugeot Golf Guide

CHAMPIONSHIP

This recent and great addition to Mallorcangolf is already rated as one of Europe’s topcourses.

Set in natural parkland, the course demands accurate play aswayward drives are penalised by the rough. Accuracy is farbetter rewarded than length on this course and it’s a welcomepleasure to have to think your way around and to concentrateon the approach shots. Excellent Jack Nicklaus golf Academy.Six miles from Palma.

Golf Park Mallorca

This young course has been ‘tweaked’ by JoseMaria Olazabal and presents a challenging andenjoyable test for all players.

The 172-yard Par-3 second hole is an early treat, played over acanyon, the green is ‘an elephant burial ground’ and a verytricky two putt! The clubhouse is a renovated farmhouse datingback to 1581. Easy walking. 44 miles east of Palma.

Par 70. 6250 yards. Slope 136.n Host to the Mallorcan Openn Impressive mountain backdrop

Pula

PARKLAND

Tel: 01277 824100

Host to the Balearic Open for a number ofyears including an epic six hole play-offbetween Seve Ballesteros and Jesper Parnevik(Seve eventually triumphed!).

The open layout encourages you to rip into those drives, althoughwith several dog-legs and an intelligent use of water you need totake care not to get too ambitious.

All-in-all a fine choice for a game in the sun. Easy walking. Tenmiles from Palma.
