Golf Son Gual is one of Mallorca's standout championship courses, and somewhere we'd particularly recommend to golfers who appreciate immaculate presentation, thoughtful design and a memorable test of their game. Located in peaceful countryside just east of Palma, this prestigious course combines beautiful Mediterranean scenery with a wonderfully private atmosphere. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to experience some of the finest golf the island has to offer.

Designed by Thomas Himmel and opened in 2007, the 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to 6,621 metres from the championship tees. Its generous, gently undulating fairways weave between ancient olive trees, vineyards and colourful wildflowers, while enormous bunkers, lakes and streams create plenty of strategic challenges. We particularly like how the course rewards intelligent positioning, with large, beautifully contoured greens demanding accurate approach shots and confident putting. The spectacular finishing hole, a demanding par five with water protecting the approach, provides a fitting conclusion.

Son Gual is also known for its excellent practice facilities and attention to detail. The golf academy, driving range and short-game areas are ideal for warming up, while the elegant clubhouse restaurant and spacious terrace offer lovely views across the fairways towards the Tramuntana Mountains. We'd recommend allowing time for a leisurely lunch after your round.

For a varied Mallorca golf holiday, we'd suggest combining Son Gual with nearby T Golf Palma, Golf Maioris or the two championship courses at Son Antem. With Palma's historic old town, excellent restaurants and beautiful beaches within easy reach, Golf Son Gual makes an outstanding addition to a tailor-made golf holiday with Hashtag Golf Travel.
