A tee-off on the Germans' favourite island? Every golfer's heart leaps for joy! Because the mild weather makes Mallorca a true golfer's mecca.
Golf in Bendinat is undoubtedly one of the very special highlights for anyone who also values the right atmosphere during sport. The region around the small village of Bendinat in western Mallorca, in particular, is among the most exclusive on the Spanish sun island. Elegant luxury residences, sophisticated yacht clubs and magnificent boutiques characterise the cosmopolitan yet glamorous atmosphere. And the majestic towers of Bendinat Castle, built in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style, are visible from afar.
Real Golf de Bendinat – Golf like a King
Among Bendinat's true gems is the Real Golf de Bendinat golf club. The course is a feast for the eyes – offering breathtaking views of the sea, red rocks, and lush vegetation time and time again. 18-hole golf course Real Club Bendinat lies nestled amidst gently rolling hills not far from the town of Portals Nous. Beginners can improve their handicap on the putting green here, and several pitching and chipping areas are also available for practice. As the golf course progresses, it becomes clear that the first nine holes already require precise play given the narrow fairways.
And those who walk the entire course themselves also train their physical fitness, as there are always some ascents to overcome in certain sections. The Spanish-style clubhouse with a restaurant not only offers delicious food and drinks, but from the spacious terrace, after a day on the green, you can also enjoy a panoramic view over the entire area right down to the sea. The elegant facility is located just a fifteen-minute drive from the Capital Palma de Mallorca removed, the airport is also only 21 kilometres away. The club is open all year round, playing seven days a week is possible for an additional green fee.
Son Quint – a beautiful complex for discerning golfers
Also the 18-hole Son Quint golf course
With its two large lakes, it is a magnificent place for golf in Bendinat and for those who like to take things a little more ambitiously. The course stretches out along the spectacular Mallorcan landscape with its fragrant pine groves, green cypress trees and ancient olive trees. Thanks to its elevated position, Son Quint offers a fantastic view of the glittering sea and the Bay of Palma. The well-placed bunkers will challenge even experienced golfers, and four different tees ensure a varied game. Another highlight of the course is the fantastic green: the grass on the Son Quint course is a very special variety, which is very dense and stands out with its intensely green colour – even at high temperatures. After an exceptional round of golf, the clubhouse invites you to a relaxing drink or a refreshing dip in the pool.
Son Muntaner – German Design for a Fascinating Development
Among the most recent golf courses in western Mallorca is the one established in 2000 Son Muntaner Golf Course.The beautiful course was designed by Germany's best-known golf course designer, Kurt Rossknecht. Rossknecht transformed the once wild and overgrown flora and fauna into a true golfer's paradise – skillfully and with the right touch, he showcased the natural features of the site, such as the island's oldest olive tree. It's no wonder, then, that this ambitious course can stand shoulder to shoulder with the most beautiful golf courses in the world on an international level. In addition to numerous water hazards and its glorious location, Son Muntaner also impresses with a spacious clubhouse in a Mediterranean villa style. Those who value exclusive golf in Bendinat will be in exactly the right place here.
