Golf Son Vida is Mallorca's oldest course, first opened in 1964, and it still feels like a proper 'classic' round when you're planning a golf break in Palma. Set above the city, you'll get big views over the bay and, on a clear day, you can see why people rave about the setting.
This is parkland golf through mature pines with gentle changes in elevation, so it's more about placement than power. I'd keep the driver honest early on because the fairways can feel tight from the tee, but they do open up as you come into the greens. If you've found the short stuff you can be aggressive, and if you haven't, there's usually enough room to salvage the hole with a sensible lay-up and a solid wedge.
You'll meet a good mix of doglegs and elevated targets, with bunkers placed where you actually want to land the ball rather than just for show. It's varied without being gimmicky, and that makes it a great shout for mixed-ability groups.
Who is this for?
Golfers wanting a historic Mallorcan course with standout views and an enjoyable, tactical test close to Palma.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers and societies who like plotting a way round and want an easy base for hotels, beaches and nightlife.

Golf Son Vida is the most traditional course on Mallorca. A legend among players from all over Europe having hosted European Tour events in the 1990's.
The layout received a shot in the arm in 2001 when esteemed golf architect Kurt Rossknecht reworked the entire course, but the recent work has not detracted from the original F.W. Hawtree design, put in place in the early 1960s.
The course is certainly easy on the eye, as the fairways are bordered by many species of beautiful trees, including palm, pine and almond.
With fabulous mountain and sea views, Son Vida has it all, and is definitely a favourite of regular golf travellers to the island of Mallorca.

6 hour round!! Had 3 groups on tee boxes numerous times. Told that there were groups in front that were holding everyone one up which the course marshalls needed to get control of but clearly didn’t.

The course was generally in good condition although the greens were full of pitch marks (most of which had been repaired) which meant they were quite bumpy. The only major issues were the length of the round which was c5hours and the lack of water fountains apart from at the 10th tee. Perhaps they could have a mobile drinks trolley in future? The service in the bar was also very slow, so slow that we had to leave before we had even received a drink because the transfer bus had arrived by then. There were also no buggies which meant we had to walk the course which was tough going with some fairly long walks between green and tee and in hot weather.

Great course in excellent condtion throughout. The Son group of courses are a must if playing in Majorca.

Exceptionally noisy course due to green keeper staff constantly working mowers and strimmers directly next to you plus residential gardening and building maintenance works at adjoining properties. Somewhat spoilt the experirnce

Buggies were very odd to operate frequently sounding Geofence alarms when no reason too . Felt like there were simply too many people crammed on the course . You guys at YGT were great as ever . Best Wishes Phill Morris

Only criticism was the over zealous attitude of the Marshall - he has to appreciate that players of all standards playing a course for the first time may not be the quickest- we were not slow as a group and his attitude was disappointing
