Arabella Golf Course Descriptions

Situated close to Majorca’s capital Palma, Arabella Golf consists of three courses, Son Vida, Son Muntaner and Son Quint.

Son Vida is the oldest course on the island, originally opened in 1964. Despite undergoing a complete renovation in 2001, the course hasn’t lost any of its original character. It is famed for its wide fairways and breathtaking views across the bay of Palma. At only 6100 yards, Son Vida Golf Course is short by modern standards. It is renowned for its long sweeping doglegs and the dramatic par 5, 18th, which includes a second shot over water.

Son Muntaner was added to Arabella Golf in the summer of 2000 and is a tougher and longer challenge than its sister. Tight fairways and large greens are a trademark of the course, as are the many water features that await errant approach shots.

Son Quint is the newest course on the island.

Located just 15 minutes from from Palma, Real Golf de Bendinat was originally opened as a 9 hole golf course in 1986 and then upgraded to a full 18 hole layout in 1995.

At just over 6100 yards in length with generous fairways, Bendinat Golf Course is both a challenging and enjoyable for players of all abilities.

Situated between Palma city and Playa de Palma, Son Antem offers 2 x 18 hole golf courses with complete contrast in styles. The East Course was designed with novice and beginners in mind with flat wide open fairways and very little in the way of rough. The only obstacles to overcome are the 5 lakes which come into play on a number of holes. The East Course is a popular choice for groups on their first days play in Majorca, allowing a more straightforward golf course on which to limber up for the more challenging courses on the island. The West Course at Son Antem opened in 2001 to much acclaim and is a tougher proposition than the East Course. Tight fairways call for accuracy from the tee and with a number of raised greens, distances can be deceiving. There is also a number of water hazards and strategically positioned bunkers to contend with.

Son Termens Golf Course description

The hilly Son Termens Golf Course is surrounded by mountains and offers panoramic views towards the Bay of Palma. Set in a valley, it takes advantage of its natural terrain more than any other golf course in the Balearics.

Son Termens prides itself on its greens, which are of the highest standard. Many of them are protected by bunkers, trees and ravines. The course leaves very little margin for error, but no matter what your handicap, you will always enjoy testing you skills against the par 71.

The dogleg 18th hole is a great finisher. After coming off the green and walking to the elevated club house, you are provided with a stunning view of the entire course. It is a perfect place to sit and reflect at the end of your round at Son Termens Golf Course.
