Marriott Son Antem Golf Course (East) Marriott Son Antem Golf Course (West) The Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort Spa offers golfers the chance to stay at one of Europe’s top hotels and at the same time play golf on two of Mallorca’s leading golf courses, as well as enjoy the other sporting facilities on offer at this purpose built sporting complex. The East Course opened in 1994 and is a championship course measuring 6,274 metres. It is laid out on what used to be hunting ground, and for that reason you will come across a wide variety of animals and birds during your round. A well designed golf course, the wide and long fairways allow the high-handicap player to recover from bad tee shots. There is plenty of rough, and a good supply of spare balls is recommended! Measuring a challenging 6293metres from the back tees, Marriott Son Antem West Course is a relatively flat yet challenging course. Opened in 2001, The West Course is considered the most difficult of the two courses, due to its elevated greens, water hazards and tight fairways. Laid in the pristine Mallorca countryside, it offers a natural setting and spectacular view of the Randa mountain, with native wild life in abundance. The West Course is widely regarded as one of the finest golf courses on the Island of Mallorca. 149
