Son Vida Golf was opened in 1964 by Rainer von Monaco and is therefore the oldest course on the island. In the meanwhile, it has become one of the island’s most luxurious courses, a product of the lightning fast urbanization of “Son Vida”, three km away from the center of Palma de Mallorcas. The course is both undulated and not, as it ranges from hilly regions on the front nine to flat areas on the back nine. The entire course is surrounded by old and magnificently tall trees, which pose not insignificant problems to all golfers. The long 17th, for instance, is an extremely difficult hole, on which par is always a good score. The 5-Star hotels “Castillo Son Vida”, “Arabella Sheraton” and “St. Regis Mardavall” offer luxurious and high class accommodation, a joy for all those returning from a hard day on the links land.
