Real Golf Bendinat was designed by Martin Hawtree, opening as a 9-hole course in 1986 and extended to a full 18 in 1995. Set in a wooded valley just 7km west of Palma, the par-70 course looks out over the Bay of Palma, the island of Cabrera and the historic Bendinat Castle.

The layout moves between valley and hillside, narrow tree-lined fairways demanding accuracy over length. The dogleg 3rd and the elevated green on the 14th are both regularly picked out by regular players, but the par-3 12th is the hole most remembered: a raised tee shot that must carry a lake to reach a wide green. Buggies are close to essential given the elevation changes throughout the round.

Facilities include a driving range, golf academy, locker rooms and a putting green. The clubhouse is currently under renovation, with temporary reception, pro shop and dining facilities in place near the 1st tee; the course itself remains open and playing as normal throughout. Book your round at one of Mallorca's most established valley courses, just twenty minutes from the airport.
