Golf De Andratx

Golf de Andratx is one of Mallorca's newer layouts and it's a brilliant addition if you fancy something with real movement underfoot. Set into the dramatic southwest terrain, the course leans into the natural contours, so you'll find plenty of uneven lies, uphill approaches and downhill tee shots that keep you thinking from the first swing.

Fairways roll across some punchy elevation changes, so club selection matters and it pays to pick smart targets rather than simply fire at every flag. The greens are kept to a very high standard through the season and tend to run true, with enough slope and subtle breaks to make a good read worth its weight in gold.

Conditioning is a real highlight here. From tee to green the surfaces are tidy and dependable, with fairways that encourage a proper strike and rough that's penal without feeling unfair. The challenge comes mainly from the land shape, wind and green complexes rather than gimmicks. On the more exposed holes you'll often have to flight it down, shape it into the wind and accept that par is a very good score.

Several holes open up to cracking Mediterranean views, which makes it a great pick for groups who want a course that feels different to the flatter resort options on the island. It's worth adding to a Mallorca rota if you're looking for variety alongside the established names.
