Son Gual Golf Course was designed by Thomas Himmel, a three-time German Amateur Champion, and opened in October 2007 after four years of construction that moved over two million cubic metres of earth. Built at a reported cost of €30 million, it has ranked among Europe's top 100 courses consistently since opening and hosted the Son Gual Mallorca Senior Open in 2009, won by Ryder Cup player Mark James.

The course carries its scale in everything from its huge teeing grounds to its 66 bunkers, including one enormous trap at the par-4 2nd that stretches roughly 240 metres. Around 800 olive trees and several man-made lakes run through the layout, water coming into play often enough to demand real course management. The par-5 18th closes the round in style, playing over two stretches of water to a green in front of the clubhouse, regularly rated one of the best finishing holes in Europe.

Facilities include a driving range, a golf academy and a putting green. Book your round at Mallorca's most ambitious modern course, a short drive from Palma airport.
