Jeroen Beoordeling van Son Muntaner Golf (ArabellaGolf)

We played Son Muntaner, but there are two other courses: Son Vida (first course in Mallorca) and Son Quint. They all are part of Arabella Golf. Staff was very friendly, both in the clubhouse, proshop and the starter. First impression is that they really know what they are doing. We noticed multiple 'radars' along the course, meant to measure where flights are during high season. The Son Muntaner course is a long (we played from yellow) but forgiving course. In my opinion this resort course is suited for any level of golfer and all of them will enjoy the course. The course is well maintained with good greens. Only on a few holes water is in play. Bunkers have a good consistency and are pretty similar. The course is quite varied, with water holes, uphill and downhill holes and some nice par 3's. I walked the course which is fine, the buggy's have GPS and were quite new. Nice touch is the 'free' banana when you start your round and the fact that they try to reduce plastic waste. They offer a range of bottles (5 euro) which you can fill up for free with still or sparkling water in the clubhouse or at hole 9/10. Personally I played pretty good, so that's hard not to take that into account, but I think a lot of people will have the same feeling. All in all a good course - probably among the best on the island. Good layout, enjoyable, not too difficult and with good maintenance. What do you need more? And it's very close to Palma. PS: I think the chimney is a great feature (it's a monument) and just ads to the experience.
