Son Gual Golf Club, Mallorca

Son Gual is a golfing haven of peace and tranquility where worldly woes and stress is forgotten for a precious few hours.

The jewel of Mallorcan golf, Son Gual offers a golfing challenge like no other in a private and intimate environment with lavish surroundings. The course itself has been designed to sit harmoniously in the surrounding landscape of gently rolling hills and olive groves, and is a quintessential inland links-style golf course, in a beautiful Mediterranean setting.

The spectacular scenery is complemented by remarkable par threes, demanding par fours and challenging par fives, a combination which will leave golfers feeling inspired and yearning for more.

After your round relax in the sumptuous ambiance of the clubhouse, which offers the highest standards of service for discerning guests.

The restaurant provides gourmet food and fine wine in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere, ensuring guests feel calm and comfortable before leaving Son Gual's haven and returning to the ‘real world'.

Son Gual - an unforgettable experience

From the first tee, Son Gual promises to be a course which you will remember.

Thomas Himmel's design is well thought out and incredibly challenging, making the best possible use of the 156-hectares of gently rolling Mallorcan landscape. The course is laid out in two very distinctive halves, the front nine running along the extremity of the estate, with the second encompassed within its centre. Guests will also be wowed throughout their round, by the omnipresence of the estate's Palacio, perched atop the course, guarding the estate.

Harmoniously dispersed throughout the course are 66 strategically placed bunkers, more than 1,000 olive trees, enticing water hazards, neighbouring fields of colourful wild flowers and Son Gual's own perfectly tended vineyards, making it one of the most spectacular courses in the Mediterranean region.

Everything at Son Gual is designed to be generous, not least the teeing areas. With an average area of 900 sqm - larger than many course's greens - and four different teeing positions, making an honest evaluation of your ability is key to leaving the course either full of joy or humility.

The greens are large, with subtle breaks and borrows, designed to entice golfers into going for the pin. Cleverly crafted approach and run-off areas, however, demand all your concentration and best short game skills to escape with par.

Son Gual is a true test of golf for all levels of golfer and the one who attacks the flag directly will not always score well. Patience and persistence are rewarded just as much as aggression and directness.

Son Gual - The Clubhouse

After entering Son Gual from the road to Manacor, you can immediately feel an oasis of calm descending on you.

A tree-lined colonnade directs guests into the courtyard, where a bag-drop zone awaits before entering the clubhouse. A capacious entrance hall with water fountains and spectacular views of the course greets guests, and gives a glimpse of the treasures and pleasures to come at Son Gual.

Elegant changing rooms with comfortable and stylish furnishings, including mahogany lockers to secure all personal items, are available to all golfers.

All guests are also advised to spend at least a few minutes on the terrace before their round, with the picturesque scenery of the Bay of Palma and the estate's Palacio in the background, it certainly calms the mind and quickens the pulse prior to teeing-off.

The clubhouse also boasts an elegant bar where players can enjoy a pre, or post-round refreshment, and the superb restaurant offers mouth-watering cuisine and the finest wines Mallorca has to offer.
