Son Gual Golf Course

Championship 18-hole golf course close to Palma

This is a private, family-run, members' golf club, set in 156 hectares of beautiful Mediterranean landscape. Recently included in the new Rolex World’s Top 1,000 Golf Courses Guide, Son Gual is also Rafa Nadal’s favourite course on the island. It's a challenging course, even for the most seasoned golfers, making it one of the most talked about courses in Mallorca.

Guests are welcome but should adhere to the club's etiquette rules. The course was designed by Thomas Himmel and opened in 2007. It's a challenging course, with carefully positioned bunkers, plenty of water hazards and undulating greens. The surrounding countryside consists of vineyards, lakes and well-tended flowering fields.

The tee areas have an average area of 900m2 with four separate teeing positions. And whilst the greens may be large, they are filled with deceptive breaks and borrows that require skillful approach shots. The elegant clubhouse has all the amenities that you may require and completes this first-class club.
