ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES: Golf Son Vida Golf
Son Vida was the first club that brought the sport of golf to the Balearic Islands. F. W. Hawtree was given the task of designing a course in the outskirts of Palma at the end of the fifties. Prince Rainiero of Monaco was the first person to tee off on this course. The course is located in the pleasant urban area of Son Vida some 3 km from the centre of Palma. Whilst playing the round, as well as the rich variety of Mediterranean flora, players can enjoy a pleasing and varied course in which the topography of the holes alternates between wide and narrow, undulating and completely flat fairways.

Santa Ponsa Golf Santa Ponsa I and II are in the same grounds, but there are two different courses and one of them is private. Santa Ponsa I, designed by Folco Nardi is a flat course where the greatest difficulty lies in the water traps. It is not a difficult course as the greens are not very well protected, which makes it easier to reach them. It is a large course, with a driven yet smooth design, with no steep up-hills. It has large greens and generally turns out long. At present it is the most international course in Mallorca. Address: Urb. Golf Sta. Ponça, Calviá
