EUROPEAN TOUR DESTINATIONS OCTOBER
The course, which opened in 2000, underwent an ambitious project five years ago with the seeding of new varieties of grass with new Bermuda Celebration sown on every fairway and Agrostis V8 on every green. The end product has made it one of Europe’s must-visit courses thanks to its extraordinary design, greens that propose continuous challenges and attention to detail on course maintenance.
The project not only enhanced the course, but demonstrated the club’s commitment to environmental change, with savings on water usage and a decrease in chemical products. This helped Golf Son Muntaner achieve EMAS certification, which represents the most important distinction related to environmental management that can be achieved by a company in the European Union.
At the 15th, golfers will witness a piece of history in the form of ‘Na Capitana’, the oldest millenary olive tree on the island, which also features on the club’s logo. The main restaurant at the course shares the same name as the historic tree and has recently undergone renovations with a fresh look and new concept focusing on serving fresh, seasonal produce. The spacious outdoor terrace, set in natural surroundings with splendid views out onto the course, make it the perfect destination to tuck into a dish bursting with local favour or simply sit back and take in the breathtaking vistas while enjoying a cold beverage.
Golf Son Muntaner also boasts the largest putting green on the island, an illuminated driving range, the Arabella Golf Academy, which is available to adults and children alike, along with two more eateries – Restaurant Son Vida and Restaurant Son Quint.
The course is one of four on the island’s leading golf resort, Arabella Golf Mallorca, which is also the biggest golf resort in Spain with 63 holes to challenge your handicap. Guests can enjoy the picturesque Mediterranean landscape while playing Golf Son Vida and Golf Son Quint with the latter also offering a 9-hole Pitch + Putt course that provides fun to golfers who want to improve their short game. Away from the course, the resort is home to three stunning hotels in the form of the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, Castillo Hotel Son Vida and St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, which can all be paired with an unlimited golf package.
