Reviewed by: achimt, Shoots in the 70s Summary:
This golf course has some extrems, which make it tough, but also beautiful. Although it can be really hard for beginners, I would say everone can play it and enjoy this interesting location.
Last time I played it, it was in great condition. As always , the fairways are a little dry in summer time here on the island. But this course is well maintained. It offers tight short par fours and threes, where there is not much room for error. Also it gives you some very long holes with wide fairways. There is a very long par fife on the front nine. This is fun to play, you would need to long drives to get there in two and still three very good shots to even make it. I have never seen anyone make it there yet. It wounds its way through housing. This makes it a little bit like an US style course. Since you can not walk it, you should be used to riding a cart and get around with that. If you are a beginner, bring some extra balls. They are hard to find and in some areas you simply can not go look for it because it is to steep. Greens are fast and nicely cut for the most part. I think the management does a great job there.
The shop is not very well stocked, but that is a problem of all shops on the island. So make sure you have what you need to play a round of golf. Otherwise it could happen, that you pay some 15 or 17 dollars for 3 cheap top flite balls.
What is very nice is the shower area. Like most clubs in Europe, they offer nice area to get refreshed , take a shower and get dressed for the time after the round. On this course, all is clean and well maintained.
If you do a tour on the island of Mallorca, this course would be on the list of the top 5 to play while you are here. Customer Service:
Customer service was always ok. Sometimes it seemed a little nose up though. But that is not meant as in unfriendly, just a little strange. The restraurante staff was always very nice and they do a good job in getting your orders done. The prices are a little overdone I think. Only coffee is good prices , which is normal in Spain.
