Marriott Son Antem (West)
Mallorca » Son Antem (East)
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!
Mallorca » Son Antem (West)
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.

Mallorca » Vall D’or
When it opened in 1985 Vall D’Or was a nine-hole courses
designed by Bill Bendy. His original nine holes, which now form
the back nine, are set amongst a variety of trees; carob, olive,
almond and, of course, pine trees and compared to the outward
nine are very hilly. The holes that currently make up the first nine
were designed by Bradford Benz and opened in 1993. They too
are set amongst trees but mostly pines. However, in between the
trees you get spectacular views of the Med. looking out towards
the resorts of Porto Colom and Cala D’Or. Unlike the back nine
which are very compact fairways, the opening nine holes are
spread out more. The opening hole is a relatively easy par-3 but
that is followed by a tough 330 metres par-4.
