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.

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.
