Carved through gently rolling hills just outside Palma, Son Muntaner is a cracking option for a Mallorca golf break, especially if you like a course that looks good and makes you think. The routing uses the natural elevation well, so you'll rarely hit the same shot twice, and there are enough well-placed hazards to keep you honest without it feeling unfair.
As part of the Arabella Golf Resort, it pairs nicely with Son Vida and Son Quint, which is ideal if you're building a few rounds into the trip and want variety without spending half the holiday in a taxi.
In playing style, think modern parkland with a Mediterranean feel. Fairways are generally generous, but the bunkering is neat and the greens can be lively, so it's a course where position matters. Water features come into play on a handful of holes, and if the breeze gets up you'll need to be flexible with club choice. I'd also say it rewards a steady head, particularly as you turn for home.
It's a friendly test for mid-handicappers from the forward and regular tees, but if your group has a couple of single-figure players they can push back a set and get a sterner challenge. Add consistently strong conditioning, solid practice facilities and a smart-but-relaxed clubhouse and you've got a course that fits just about any Mallorca itinerary.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a quality Palma-based course that's playable, well-kept and easy to slot into a multi-round Mallorca break.
Who is it best for?
